INTERVALS, SCALES, TONES
Intervals, Scales, Tones and the Concert Pitch c = 128 Hz

• Maria Renold

Why is it that certain intervals, scales and tones sound genuine and others false? Is the modern person able to experience a qualitative difference in a tone's pitch? If so, what are the implications for modern concert pitch and how instruments of fixed tuning are tuned?

JERUSALEM
The Role of the Hebrew People in the Spiritual Biography of Humanity

• Yeshayahu (Jesaiah) Ben-Aharon

‘The better I understand the roots of the Hebrew people and its universal-human mission, the better I shall understand the nature of humanity and its mission; and the more human I become, in the most universal sense, anchored in a new spiritual knowledge and practice, the more fulfilled, active and creative I can be at the roots of my existence as a Jew and an Israeli.’ – Yeshayahu Ben-Aharon

JESUS AND CHRIST

• Friedrich Rittelmeyer

‘To see Christ in Jesus and Jesus in Christ is an incomparable joy. Each single saying and each single word finds its place in the heights on the way from Jesus to Christ, on the way from Christ to Jesus.’ – Friedrich Rittelmeyer

JOHN’S GOSPEL
The Cosmic Rhythm, Stars and Stones

• Hermann Beckh

That there is a living stream of Johannine Christianity can no longer be doubted. There is now an abundant literature from Rosicrucian and esoteric traditions – from the deepest prayer and meditation – that addresses the exalted nature of John the Evangelist as expressed through his Gospel, Letters and the Book of Revelation. Yet it fell to Hermann Beckh to elucidate clearly how the individual known as ‘John’ became the source of such undying love and wisdom in Christ. According to Rudolf Steiner, John was the ailing Lazarus, called from death to a new life as ‘the disciple Jesus loved’. Beckh demonstrates how John’s invaluable writings were based on personal spiritual knowledge and experience, expressing the divine work of the Cosmic Christ on human nature and on the Earth, leading far into the future.

KASPAR HAUSER
The Struggle for the Spirit

• Peter Tradowsky

"Here lies Kaspar Hauser, riddle of his time. His birth was unknown, his death mysterious." (Inscription on Kaspar Hauser's tombstone.)

KASPAR HAUSER
And the Destiny of Middle Europe in the Nineteenth Century

• Karl Heyer

Who was Kaspar Hauser and where did he come from? Why did he spend his childhood in a prison cell? Was he related to nobility, royalty or even Napoleon, as some have concluded?

KASPAR HAUSER, CHILD OF EUROPE
An Artistic and Contemplative Approach to an Enduring Enigma

• Eckart Böhmer

‘From time to time in the history of humanity, extraordinary individualities appear, carrying with them great tasks which are difficult to assess. Through this lens, the events around Kaspar Hauser (1812-1833) can be seen as signposts to one of the most important mysteries of modern times, which will radiate far into the future. Kaspar’s appearance and the essence of his being are deeply connected with the question of the identity of the human being itself.’ – From the Foreword

KINDLING THE WORD
The Karmic Background of Marie Steiner-von Sivers

• Rahel Kern • Brien Masters

From the moment that Marie von Sivers met Rudolf Steiner in 1902, their relationship became key to the development of anthroposophy. Marie Steiner's immense contribution is well known in the fields of eurythmy, speech, the arts, and in her management and publication of Steiner's literary estate - but she also assisted in almost every aspect of Rudolf Steiner's work. So why has she been so neglected by the anthroposophical movement?

KNIGHTS TEMPLAR, THE
Influences from the past and impulses for the future

• Compiled and edited by Gil McHattie

'It is becoming more and more important to add truth to the plethora of distortion that surrounds the Knights Templar. The Order's spiritual legacy therefore needs voices that make conscious the impulse they carried, and to show how these impulses have reappeared and metamorphosed in later times, and how they continue to be of pressing relevance today in all spheres of life - from spirituality and the arts to politics and the worlds of banking, commerce and business.' - from the Introduction

KNOW YOURSELF
Journeys Between Worlds
A Personal Reflection on Rudolf Steiner’s Esoteric Lessons

• Maarten Ploeger

Shortly after the Christmas Foundation Conference of 1923–24, Rudolf Steiner inaugurated the First Class of the School of Spiritual Science, presenting a cycle of nineteen lectures, featuring mantras and blackboard drawings, intended to guide the modern seeker on the contemporary path of inner development. These Esoteric Lessons remain among the most intimate and challenging teachings Steiner ever gave.

LANGUAGE OF THE STARS, THE
Zodiac and Planets in Relation to the Human Being
The Cosmic Rhythm in the Creed

• Hermann Beckh • Rudolf Frieling

‘Astrology is a concern of the Christ and the work of Michael.’ – Hermann Beckh

LAYING THE FOUNDATION STONE OF THE MICHAELIC MOVEMENT IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY
The Centennial of the Christmas Foundation Conference

• Yeshayahu (Jesaiah) Ben-Aharon

‘Today, out of the signs of our present times, we let resound the second Mystery Words of Michael: “O Soul of man, know thyself as the spirit, soul, and body chalice of the Christ”. When we say this, we have understood what must become the foundation of all aspects of the evolution of humanity in the twenty-first century – the second, decisive, middle century of the Age of Michael.’

LEARNING TO EXPERIENCE THE ETHERIC WORLD
Empathy, the After-Image and a New Social Ethic

• Baruch Luke Urieli • Hans Müller-Wiedemann

Our world today is increasingly characterized by speed, movement and flux. There is often a lack of sufficient time to do 'what needs to be done', and life seems to be marked by change, upheaval and revolution. But in the midst of this turmoil, say the authors, people are having conscious and semiconscious experiences of the etheric world - the world that comprises the forces of life. However, this growing sensitivity to the etheric realm only intensifies experiences of movement and upheaval. To counter such feelings, we should take hold of our inner life and strengthen the 'I' - our true self.

LEMURIA
And our Fall from Paradise

• Angela Lord

‘The ancient continent of Lemuria holds many keys to our present and future stages of evolution. Through an understanding of its deeper aspects we can unlock its mysteries, and indeed some of the mysteries of world evolutionary processes.’ – From the Foreword

LETTERS ON JOHN'S GOSPEL

• Friedrich Rittelmeyer

‘These Letters … aim to make John’s Gospel accessible to people today as their own gospel, both as a whole and in the details; to illuminate it with the spiritual knowledge of the age and to make it fruitful for life, not only for meditation but also for practical ordering of destiny.’ – Friedrich Rittelmeyer.
