Intriguing volume of easily comprehensible and insightful concepts and revelatory insights into Rudolf Steiner's influences and life. He began his young adult life as a Theosophist and later would branch into and initiate the soul path of Anthroposophy. Toward the end of his life, Steiner wrote his Autobiography, though its completion was interrupted by his untimely death in 1925. Rudolf Steiner has been called "the best kept secret" of the twentieth century. Here, he recalls the first decades of his life and spiritual path. It was written in weekly installments for the anthroposophic newsletter to members. Steiner did not often speak or write of himself in a personal way. Thus, this collection offers a rare opportunity: to intimately view his inner life, the relationships he developed and individuals he encountered, and, the triumphs and obstacles that shaped him. Presented here is not an ordinary narrative of successes and failures, but an autobiography of a soul, his soul. Each event and personal encounter is seen and gauged in relation to its spiritual roots and consequences. We witness the evolving consciousness of a modern spiritual seeker and master. This is the self-portrait of an individual whose ideas remain ahead of time; and, a man whose ideas are surely needed in an increasingly unnatural, discordant and materialistic world. At final unpaginated leaves is a facsimile of hand-written page from Rudolf Steiner of prayerful thought with English translation adjacent. Printed in the United States of America. 358 pages. Insured post. Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" Tall. N° de réf. du vendeur 021969
