Old and New Methods of Initiation

Old and New Methods of Initiation

Johanna Collis
4.8/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
These fascinating and wide-ranging lectures deal not only with the theme of initiation into the ancient mysteries and how that contrasts with what is required today of people treading a spiritual path of knowledge, but also covers such topics as the working of Lucifer and Ahriman in the threefold organisation of the human being; the development of religious life in the post-Atlantean cultural epochs, particularly with reference to the pagan Old Testament streams; the relationship of the individual to the folk spirit; the need to think with exactitude and impartiality; and the role of Imagination, Inspiration, and Intuition in helping to understand the human being.. The last four lectures examine in some detail the impulse of freedom behind the work of Goethe and Schiller, particularly Faust and the Aesthetic Letters, and draw interesting connections with Shakespeare on the one hand and the French Revolution on the other. Behind all the lectures stands Rudolf Steiner's stress on the importance of understanding the transition from the Fourth into the Fifth cultural epoch, and how imperative it is to work free of the intellectualism of our age through the development of imagination.
