Between death and a new birth on earth, the human being lives through a long cosmic existence in the higher worlds. This is mirrored in the earthly life. Rudolf Steiner described its division into seven-year periods and the connection with the pre-birth existence in the planetary spheres. Apart from this, there is another division including higher spheres of the fixed stars. Rudolf Steiner only gave us a hint. In line whith this and based on his own experiences on the path of spirit discipleship, the author of this book gives examples how these different stages of life between death and rebirth can express themselves in the course of earthly life. He also explains in which of the seven-year periods the conditions for learning something about one's own previous incarnation are particularly favourable. In addition, he describes the connection of the later seven-year periods of earthly life with the Life Spirit (Budhi), as well as the preparation of mankind for receiving it by a development which Rudolf Steiner called the gradual „getting-younger“ of mankind, and which started at the times of the primeval Semites in ancient Atlantis. For everyone who follows or aspires to the path of spiritual discipleship or is interested in biography work, a highly recommended book.

A book that offers a whole new range of view points on astrology, astronomy and the cultural history of mankind. The author first describes the origin of the zodiacal images according to Rudolf Steiner's statements. Then he discusses why these images do not correspond either with the signs of the zodiac in traditional astrology or with the physically visible constellations of the stars, and what role the astronomy of the ancient Greeks plays in this. Another topic is the varying duration of the ages and what questions this raises for modern astronomy. Finally, using the example of European cultural development over the last thousand years, it is shown that each age is divided into twelve smaller cultural periods, which in their characteristics correspond exactly to the series of the forces of the zodiac.

This research work delves into Rudolf Steiner's insights and illustrations regarding the unique lemniscatory paths of the planets. It explores the intricate connections between Steiner's spiritual science and celestial movements, offering a comprehensive analysis of his theories. The publication aims to illuminate the significance of these paths in understanding planetary dynamics and their implications for human consciousness and development.

Exploring the Anthroposophical Soul Calendar, this book delves into the profound meanings behind its fifty-two weekly verses, largely overlooked since Rudolf Steiner's first edition.

The author incorporates numerous quotes from Steiner's works, illuminating the spiritual archetype of the Soul Calendar and enhancing the reader's comprehension of humanity and Christ.
