The New Akashic Records is not self-help or religious faith, instead
it is a newly interpreted, ancient spiritual practice. For the first
time in print, discover how the Akashic Records work within universal
energy through the concept of Spiritual Energy Dynamics. Leading you
on a journey across the energetic bridge that is the Akashic Records,
you learn how you can connect your soul's journey with your physical
journey here on Earth. The New Akashic Records truly breaks new
ground. This book presents an in-depth, yet easily understood history
of the Akashic Records and uncovers the ancient connection to divine
memory, judgment and destiny as the Book of Life. It reaches into
Hinduism, Buddhism, and Tibetan Bön to understand the Akasha,
empowering a new understanding of Your Library and Your Book. Sharing
new insights into knowing, healing, and spiritual practice, The New
Akashic Records provides a lifetime of learning for the serious
spiritual seeker. The Akashic Records provide safe space to move
beyond pat answers, worries and fears. The Akashic Records are not
about being right, instead they are about you and your journey.
Helping you to find your way, your truth, your highest expression of
the best that you are today and will become tomorrow. Is now the time
to understand your soul's journey? What path do you choose? What is
your truth today?

New, on the Internet:
Critical
Edition of Rudolf Steiner's Works
Although highly desirable, a Critical Edition of Rudolf Steiner's
works is not yet available on the market. The
RUDOLF
STEINER
ONLINE
ARCHIV
decided, therefore, to undertake the development of a
Critical Edition of the Standard Works of Anthroposophy.
These volumes are intended to make possible a comparison of the various
textual versions that were published during Steiner's lifetime and to
observe the genesis of these critical texts.
We hope that this edition will be a valuable contribution to a better
understanding of anthroposophy and to the ongoing debate over coherence
and continuity in Steiner's thought.
As a first installment of the series, the following volumes are now
available (in the original German only):
More volumes are in preparation.

Updated Material, on the Internet:
Critical
Edition of Rudolf Steiner's Works
Until recently, a Critical Edition of the works of Rudolf Steiner was not available.
This changed when, in 2011, the German publisher
frommann-holzboog
and
Christian Clement
began to undertake the development of such an edition. It documents the various
textual versions of each book that was published during Steiner's lifetime and
thus allows the reader to carefully study the genesis and development of these
important texts.
By now (2020), the first section of the edition (8 volumes, writings 1884-1910) has
almost been completed. Additional 8 volumes with the writings of 1911-1925 will follow.
The edition is scheduled to be completed by 2025. Publisher and editor are hoping that
this new edition will be a valuable contribution to a better understanding of
anthroposophy and inspire a long overdue discourse on Steiner in the academic world.
All texts, reviews, and other information concerning the edition are available on the
editions website:
www.steinerkritischeausgabe.com.
In 2020, the editor of the Critical Edition has also launched the first peer reviewed
academic journal for research on Steiner and anthroposophy:
www.steiner-studies.org.
More volumes are in preparation.

A New Book:
The BIG Picture
Insights from the Spiritual World
by Garry Gilfoy
|

Click to purchase book
| |
Built around the extraordinary stories of seven people who have been
unwitting visitors to the spiritual world, “The BIG Picture
— Insights from the Spiritual World” examines the themes
of reincarnation, the relationship between karma and destiny, the
divide between religion and spirituality, humanity's task in creation,
and the emergence of a new Western spirituality to lead us into the
next stage of the evolution of consciousness.
In The BIG Picture, author Garry Gilfoy discloses his own
spiritual experiences and also tells the stories of others: such as
Joy, who was sent back from the realm of spirit without her husband
after a horrific crash; Trish, who ‘died’ numerous times
before learning to visit her cosmic classroom at will; Helen, who
relived a holocaust nightmare before her eyes opened onto ancient
Egypt; and Keely, who was miraculously saved by a familiar figure,
the Watcher.

AWSNA Publications
has just published a remarkable new book about
ancient Greek civilization by
Willem Frederik Veltman
The title is "Hellas" and the author is Willem Frederik Veltman, who
taught for many years at the Waldorf School in The Hague, Netherlands.
It has been translated by Phillip Mees. The author offers us a review
of all the principal aspects of ancient Greek culture. He describes
the fundamental aspect of that culture of balance: balance between
heaven and earth, between the divine and the human, balance in society
where everything needs to have its proper place resulting in
righteousness, and the role of virtue as the state of balance between
two extremes.
He sketches the evolution of the world of the gods with its
three generations, the attitude of the Greek toward these gods, and
the way spiritual beings worked through human beings to found this
civilization. A long chapter is devoted to the Greek arts of
architecture, sculpture and painting.

He then takes the reader by the hand as he travels through the
country visiting the principal cities where in each place he
describes the history and myths that are living there: Athens with
Cecrops and Theseus, Thebes with Cadmus, Mycenae with Agamemnon and
the Trojan War, Thessaly with Jason, Macedonia with Alexander, and
many more. And on the way he uses the revelations of spiritual
science to indicate the significance of all these stories and events
as indicators of the evolution of consciousness and the critical role
this civilization has played in Europe. One chapter is devoted to a
most readable description of the development of Greek philosophy.
We heartily recommend this book to Waldorf teachers preparing for
the Greek bloc, but also to anyone interested in the culture that
laid the foundation for all of Western culture. The language is
modern and easy to read and the book is richly illustrated with
excellent pictures. It is now available at
www.awsna.org.

The Green Devotional: Active Prayers for a Healthy Planet
by Karen Speerstra
|

Click to purchase book
| |
Our planet, our home, is in crisis plain and simple and this collection
of quotes, poems, essays, and prayers will inspire all to actively
reverse the man-made cause of global warming, stem the tide of
environmental destruction, and to reconnect to the good earth. Short
essays of topical interest introduce each of the eight sections of
this book, and the 250 voices inside, most of them contemporary, began
to harmonize together as they seem to call out for their own canonical
structure — one bounded by the ancient elements: Earth, Air, Fire,
Water. This collection of voices is like a “green book of devotional
hours,” reminiscent of the Books of Hours medieval people used to
hold in their palms. It was called “a cathedral in your hands.”
And like that medieval book, The Green Devotional reminds us that we
are connected to something broader and wiser than ourselves. Included
are selections from such people as Rachel Carson, Cornel West, Bill
McKibben, Alice Walker, Sue Monk Kidd, Dean Koontz, Barbara Kingsolver,
Daniel Pinchbeck, Arundhati Roy and many others. The Green Devotional
ends with a section of “Closing Prayers” that prepare us no
just to go to sleep but to rest up for another day of passionate action.
Printed on 100% recycled paper.

I Connecting - The Soul's Quest
by Kristina Kaine
|

Click to purchase book
| |
Kristina Kaine invites the reader into the riches of becoming a
participant-observer in the life of soul and spirit. Her book goes
beyond describing “the way it is” and encourages the
reader to discover how the gaps in meaning that we all experience
are caused by a lack of contact with the inner life. Nevertheless,
this is not a book of meditative practices that one does in the
confines of one's room, only to find that such practices don't seem
to measure up to the requirements of real life. Rather, her book
helps us sense the inner qualitative nature of subjective experiences
at the center of our busy and practical lives — though they
frequently go unnoticed.
By gaining an abiding interest in the rich texture of inner life, one
begins to notice that something — some presence like wisdom
— illuminates that inner life, individualizing it so that one
feels personally, though not egoistically, connected with the inner
mysteries. This more permanent core of our being gives us our sense
of destiny and purpose in life, directing us toward a more meaningful
future.

An Interesting Anthroposphical Perspective:
LAO
TZU and
ANTHROPOSOPHY
by Kwan-Yuk Claire Sit
|
Click to purchase book
| |
According to tradition, Lao Tzu wrote the eighty-one short chapters
of his Tao Te Ching around the sixth to fourth centuries
B.C.E. It became the
foundational philosophical work of Taoism, significantly inspired
early masters of Zen Buddhism, and, for more than a century, has been
widely embraced in the West as an astounding work of universal
truths. Through deceptively simple imagery, Lao Tzu gave us a guide
to life, both spiritual and physical, that is no less valid today
than when it was written more than 2,500 years ago.
Claire Sit brings us her translation of the Tao Te Ching and,
through her deep study and understanding of that text, examines each
chapter and, ultimately, places it in the light of Rudolf Steiner's
Anthroposophy. In the process, she shows how, although the path of
Tao and that of Anthroposophy appear quite different, they
complement each other and share many qualities and, in many ways,
illumine the hidden truths each has to offer. As in Anthroposophy, on
the path of Tao one looks within to know the world and into the world
to know one's self.
Included is “The Great One Excretes Water,” a recently
discovered text by Lao Tzu that further illumines his profound
philosophy of Tao.

THE
LORD'S
PRAYER
An Eastern Perspective
by Kwan-Yuk C. Sit
|
Click to purchase book
| |
“This book opens the door to Eastern
religious and cultural practices in an attempt to shed light on the
teachings implicit in The Lord's Prayer. It uses simple analogies and
inspiring anecdotes to unveil seemingly subtle and obscure Eastern
concepts. It paves a path for Self-realization along the trail of The
Lord's Prayer, merging the precious teachings of Eastern and Western
masters from the Buddha, Confucius, Lao Tzu, Mother Teresa, The Dalai
Lama, and others. It is written for people who seek inspiration to
enrich their lives, who desire greater mastery of Eastern philosophy,
and who value information on practical spirituality.” (from the
preface)
“Our Father, our Mother, and our Great
Tao, You are pure Consciousness in a state of infinite compassion and
eternal bliss. As Above So Below, we can also attain such a state. We
only have to seek the ‘I Am’ within and bring out our
highest ideals. All our activities are subject to the ‘More Use
Easier Use’ principle. We know that ‘practice makes
perfect,’ but we need to be careful so as not to be entrapped
by our undesirable habits.” (from chapter 9)

An Interesting Book and a Fine Gift:
The Fleeing Youth: The Cosmic Principle of Christ
by Richard Distasi
|

Click to purchase book
| |
It is commonly accepted that the mission of Christ was an act that
was independent of any corresponding and requisite deed on the part
of humanity. Though, in part, this is true, this book asserts that
the future spiritual evolution of humanity was dependent on human
comprehension and understanding of the Event of Golgotha.
Comprehension and understanding are defined in this work as one's
capacity to spiritually follow Christ through His entire Passion,
Death and Resurrection. The Apostles were chosen for this very
task, but eventually failed at the critical hour.
Working from this perspective, the fundamental questions presented
in this work are: Did the raising of Lazarus salvage the Event of
Golgotha. Was the mission of Christ in jeopardy of failing due to
the incomprehension of the Apostles. Was this incomprehension of
the mission and nature of the Christ Being by the Apostles a
significant component to the agony that Christ experienced in the
garden of Gethsemane.
Other points of study in this work are: What was the true nature of
the Fleeing Youth. Why was the Resurrection the beginning of a new
genesis for our cosmos. What were the aspects involved in the Christ
Being evolving from a hierarchical Being to a Logos Being. Did
the voice of Mary fashion the body of Jesus of Nazareth prior to
his birth. How did the years 1933–1945 recapitulate the
arrest of Christ in the garden of Gethsemane thereby inaugurating
the beginning of the Second Coming of Christ.

A New Introduction:A Guide to the Spiritual Science of Rudolf Steiner
by E. Weisshaar
|

Click image to read book
| |
Fresh, from 1928! Here is a very interesting introduction to the
teachings of Rudolf Steiner ... for you, or as a recommendation
to someone as yet not familiar with Dr. Steiner. From the Preface,
written by the author, E. Weisshaar:
“IN the year 1920 I was asked to introduce the
teaching of Rudolf Steiner to a group of people. The following
introduction is the result. It aims at being a reference to the work
of Rudolf Steiner. It is worked out chiefly from the books
‘Theosophy,’
‘Outline of Occult Science,’
and
‘The Spiritual Guidance of Man and Mankind,’
and from notes of lectures given by Rudolf Steiner within the
Anthroposophical Movement, which at Christmas, 1923, he allowed
to be published in their character as manuscript. Now having been
asked by English friends to allow them to translate it, I decided to
hand it over to them for printing.”

Now I See ...
is a brand new bLog presented and sponsored by
the Rudolf Steiner Archive. It is an opportunity for Anthroposophists
to present reviews of non-anthroposophical books in such categories
as non-fiction, scholastic or academic, history, science, biography,
autobiography, and the paranormal. The books are not necessarily
current or recently published, and most should raise the disturbing
question as to why Rudolf Steiner's name — or Anthroposophy
or Spiritual Science — is not included in the index and in
the contents, and when the absence of these resources or answers
is felt to be something of an acute or tragic loss, or at the very
least as a serious omission. Another kind of book appropriate for
review will be of interest to Anthroposophists due to its timely
and relevant subject (such as Soul Survivor: The Reincarnation
of a WWII Fighter Pilot, by Bruce and Andrea Leininger, about
their son, James Leininger).

Rising Fire: Volcanoes and Our Inner Lives
By John Calderazzo.
(Book Reviews by Anthroposophists)
A teacher of creative writing at Colorado State University, John
Calderazzo completed an extracurricular project of writing a
children's book about volcanoes that raised questions for him
“that deserved a deeper, more complicated consideration
appropriate for adults.” He also received a CSU teaching award
as the school year was winding down and, an experienced traveler,
he decided to visit Sicily's Mount Etna, that was still erupting
(he does not give the year, but this must have been 1993). Rising
Fire is primarily an account of his travels to some of the world's
most notorious volcano sites: Mount Etna, Vesuvius, Stromboli,
Kilauea, Parícutin, Soufriere Hills (Montserrat), Mount
Pelée (Martinique), and Mount Rainier. Mixed in with the
largely vernacular travel accounts (“By Monday, I'd had it
with conspiracy theories and was badly in the mood for some
Scientific Smarts ...”) is an abundance of both entertaining
and very serious subjects, including ...
