Theosophy

Meer over het boek

Written in 1904, this key work by Rudolf Steiner provides a foundational understanding of spiritual reality. It is divided into four parts. The first section explores human nature, detailing the physical body, soul qualities, spirit being, and higher spiritual aspects. Steiner presents a sevenfold view of the human being, including the material body, ether body, sentient soul, mind soul, spirit-filled consciousness, life spirit, and spirit body. The second section delves into reincarnation and karma, discussing the principles that guide our transition from one life to the next. This leads to the third part, where Steiner examines our existence during life on earth, after death, and across the three realms of body, soul, and spirit. Finally, the work outlines the path of knowledge, inviting individuals to explore the intricate and harmonious nature of the psycho-spiritual worlds. The contents include a foreword by Michael Holdrege, prefaces by Steiner, and chapters addressing the essential nature of the human being, destiny and reincarnation, the three worlds, and the path to knowledge, along with related reading and an index. This volume is a translation of the original German text, providing insights into spiritual understanding and human purpose.
