Synopsis "Macrocosm and Microcosm: The Greater and the Lesser World: Questions Concerning the Soul, Life and the Spirit (Cw 119)"

11 lectures, Vienna, March 21-31, 1910;1 public lecture, March 19, 1910 (CW 119)"Riddle upon riddle occupies space, riddle upon riddle flows in time;the solution comes only from the spiritthat grasps itselfbeyond the limits of spaceand beyond the flow of time."--Rudolf Steiner, Vienna, Mar. 19, 1910Rudolf Steiner shows how deeply and intimately human beings, the microcosm, are related to the macrocosm. But for Steiner the macrocosm is more than just the physical universe. It includes many hidden realms--including the world of elements and the world of archetypes--that lie behind outer manifestations such as our physical body. The macrocosm works within us continuously--in the daily rhythm of sleeping and waking and in the great cyclical interchange between incarnation on Earth and our time between death and rebirth. Steiner discusses various paths of self-development that lead across the threshold to spiritual dimensions, transforming human soul forces into organs of higher perception. In the future, we will even have the capacity to evolve a form of thinking that is higher than the intellect--thinking of the heart.In this classic series of lectures--now retranslated and featuring a previously unavailable public address--Rudolf Steiner discusses the planets and their connection with our sleeping and waking life; the inner path of the mystic; the "greater" and "lesser" guardians of the threshold; the Egyptian mysteries of Osiris and Isis; initiation in the Northern mysteries; the four spheres of the higher worlds; mirror images of the macrocosm in humankind; the strengthening powers of sleep; the symbol of the Rose Cross; reading the akashic record; four-dimensional space; the development of future human capacities, and much more. Macrocosm and Microcosm is a translation from German of Makrokosmos und Mikrokosmos. Die gro e und die kleine Welt. Seelenfragen, Lebensfragen, Geistesfragen (GA 119).

Rudolf Steiner (Donji Kraljevec, Austro-Hungarian Empire, now Croatia, February 25 or 27, 1861-Dornach, Switzerland, March 30, 1925) was an Austrian philosopher, literary scholar, educator, artist, playwright, social thinker, and occultist. He was the founder of anthroposophy, Waldorf education, biodynamic agriculture, anthroposophic medicine, and the new artistic form of eurythmy.

He described anthroposophy as follows: Anthroposophy is a path of knowledge that would like to lead the spiritual in man to the spiritual in the universe. Those who feel certain questions about the essence of man and the world as a vital necessity as the one felt when we are hungry and thirsty can be anthroposophists.

Steiner proposed a form of ethical individualism, to which he later added a more explicitly spiritual component. He derived his epistemology from the worldview of Johann Wolfgang Goethe, according to which thought is an organ of perception just like the eye or the ear. Just as the eye perceives colors and the ear sounds, so thought perceives ideas.
