Publisher Description: The mantras of the Michael School are, in the truest sense of the word, a path for modern human beings--and indeed not just for our time between birth and death, but even more so for the time after death in the spiritual world. In that world, every soul that has crossed the threshold will experience beings and events that it can comprehend only if it has learned something on Earth about the beings there and processes that take place between them. In his eighteenth lesson Rudolf Steiner said, "People who have heard this in esoteric schools on Earth will go through the gate of death and will hear these words again sounding in harmony together--in the esoteric schools here and during the life between death and a new birth there. They will understand what rings forth. Or, people will be dull and unwilling to respond to what the esoteric schools, prepared by general Anthroposophy, have to say. They'll fail to perceive what can be heard through initiation science from the realms of the heights. They pass through the gate of death. There they hear what they should have already heard while here on Earth . . . but they do not understand it. These words of power--when the gods speak to one another--sound to them like an unintelligible clanging, mere cosmic noise." These words alone, heard in real earnestness, should be enough to dispel any reservations about spreading the teaching of the Michael School. This content does not belong only to those who are closely connected with Anthroposophy and its movement; every seeking human being should be able to find them as a path through life on Earth and after death.

Contributor Bio(s): Rudolf, Steiner Rudolf: - Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) was born and grew up in Kraljevec, Austro-Hungarian Empire (now in Croatia). He became a scientific, literary, and philosophical scholar, known for his work with Goethe's scientific writings. Formally beginning his spiritual teaching career under the auspices of the Theosophical Society, Steiner came to use the terms Anthroposophy and Spiritual Science for his philosophy, spiritual research, and discoveries. The influence of Steiner's multifaceted genius has led to innovative and holistic approaches in medicine, various therapies, philosophy, religious renewal, Waldorf education, biodynamic agriculture, Goethean science, architecture, and the arts of drama, speech, and eurythmy. In 1924, Steiner founded the General Anthroposophical Society, which today has branches throughout the world. He died in Dornach, Switzerland. Meyer, T. H.: - T. H. Meyer was born in Switzerland in 1950. He is the founder and publisher of Perseus Verlag, Basel, and editor of the monthly journals Der Europaer and The Present Age. He has written and edited several books. He leads seminars and lectures around the world. |
