Peter Selg Boeken

Rudolph Steiner received the Fifth Gospel, unrecorded events from the so-called lost years of the life of Jesus, obtained by spiritual research into the akashic record. Those who have read Steiner's lectures on the Fifth Gospel and wondered about their significance will find here an inspiring guide to further meditation, while those who have not yet read them will find many reasons for doing so and discover a new way of understanding Steiner and his mission. Those unfamiliar with Steiner but wish to find a meaningful, heartfelt way to Jesus Christ and the Christian mystery will discover a new way of understanding the path to Christ

Follows Karl Koenig's spiritual journey from his early years to the end of his life, through the words of his diaries.

Shows how anthroposophical therapies draw heavily on the Christian concept of healing in the New Testament, and practically how carers and healers can nurture the healing power of Christ within them.

Explores the complex and often misunderstood relationship between The Christian Community and the wider anthroposophical world.

In the first part of this inspiring booka work of devotion both to Rudolf Steiner and to Christian RosenkreutzPeter Selg, as The Great Servant of Christ Jesus, gives a detailed, chronological, and fascinating account of Steiners portrayal and, as much as possible, experiences of Christian Rosenkreutz. He shows how Steiner had essentially two teachers: the Master Jesus (Zoroaster) and Christian Rosenkreutz. Moreover, Selg shows how these two, with Rudolf Steiner, unfolded spiritual science for our time. In the second part, he shows how all this culminates, astonishingly and miraculously, in the Michael School as it manifested in the First Class.

Today we know very little about the true nature of the human heart. Our knowledge arises only from a materialistic or an emotional standpoint. In this astonishing and inspiring book, Peter Selg focuses on the evolution of the spiritual understanding of the heart as transmitted through Aristotle, the Gospels, and Hebrew Scriptures to the Middle Ages, when, in the light of the Mystery of Golgotha and its sacramental life, it was synthesized and transformed by Thomas Aquinas, after whom, with the rise of modern science it, was lost until Goethe began a process of recovery and development that led to its complete renewal and transformation in Rudolf Steiner.

This is the first of seven volumes that offer the most comprehensive biography to date of Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925), founder of Anthroposophy (or Spiritual Science) and the Anthroposophical Society, which today has branches around the world. His unique genius gave rise to new impulses in education, medicine, agriculture, the arts, economics, and religion. Volume 1 presents Rudolf Steiner's life from birth and youth, through his doctorate degree and work as editor of Goethe's scientific works for the Goethe Archives.

With great empathy and directness, Peter Selg recounts the moving story of Ita Wegman and her relationship with Rudolf Steiner, highlighting their roles in the development of anthroposophic medicine and the Medical Section of the School for Spiritual Science. Steiner patiently awaited the arrival of Wegman, who would guide the healing mission of spiritual science into medicine. In 1920, she established a medical clinic in Arlesheim, where she and Steiner collaborated both medically and spiritually, revealing a unique karmic relationship. The second lecture emphasizes anthroposophic curative education as the heart of Wegman's Medical Section, focusing on a commitment to children facing severe challenges, rooted in spiritual insight and a Christian-religious impulse. Dr. Selg illustrates Wegman's dedication to forming a community of physicians who worked according to Steiner's indications and in Christ's spirit, caring for her colleagues and awakening them to their destinies. She also resisted the oppressive forces of Nazi Germany, heeding Steiner's warning about the future responsibilities of the Anthroposophical Society. At the core of this narrative is the profound inner struggle to make love responsible.

A family's recently discovered correspondence provides the inspiration for this fascinating and deeply moving account of Jewish family life before, during and after the Holocaust. Rebecca Boehling and Uta Larkey reveal how the Kaufmann-Steinberg family was pulled apart under the Nazi regime and dispersed over three continents. The family's unique eight-way correspondence across two generations brings into sharp focus the dilemma of Jews in Nazi Germany facing the painful decisions of when, if and to where they should emigrate. The authors capture the family members' fluctuating emotions of hope, optimism, resignation and despair as well as the day-to-day concerns, experiences and dynamics of family life despite increasing persecution and impending deportation. Headed by two sisters who were among the first female business owners in Essen, the family was far from conventional and their story contributes new dimensions to our understanding of Jewish life in Germany and in exile during these dark years.
