1 CONTENTS Introduction by Christopher Bamford xiii Lecture One DORNACH, JANUARY 9, 1915 The fourfold nature of the I: as something outwardly perceptible; as speech and song; as creative fantasy; as inner experience. The richness of diagrams derived from spiritual-scientific work. The significance of anthroposophy for the renewal of certain aspects of life, such as recitation and song. pages 1 15 Lecture Two DORNACH, JANUARY 10, 1915 The continued effects of the old Saturn forces in the formation of human destiny, and of the old Moon forces in the development of the embryo. The changes in the human relationship to thought. The effects of the Sun nature in the philosophical development of humanity. Christian Morgenstern s sensibility for such things. pages Lecture Three DORNACH, JANUARY 30, 1915 Genuine art is rooted in the secrets of initiation. The initiation of Brunetto Latini. His influence on Dante and the conception of the Divine Comedy. The effect of the Christ impulse on the unconscious soul forces. Emperor Constantine. The Maid of Orleans. The renewal of the artistic impulse through the knowledge of spiritual science. pages 35 49

2 Lecture Four DORNACH, FEBRUARY 2, 1915 The maya nature of life on earth. The reflection of various cosmic, prebirth experiences in the periods of life through the end of childhood. The connection of these experiences with the prior planetary conditions of the earth. The significance of such knowledge for pedagogy. The life of the adult as the reflection of events beyond the visible world. The nature of human freedom. The significance of the moment of death. pages Lecture Five DORNACH, FEBRUARY 5, 1915 The difficulty of true self-knowledge. The example of Ernst Mach. Soul forces at work in the subconscious and its concealment in our maya of imagination. The significance of such connections for poetry. The novella The Singer by Herman Grimm, and its accurate description of a secretly significant relationship of destinies. pages Lecture Six DORNACH, FEBRUARY 6, 1915 The law of the conservation of energy, introduced by Julius Robert Mayer, is also true in the soul-spiritual realm. The continued effect of the unused etheric forces of people who die early. The spectrum of death and the unlived-out karma contained therein, as shown in the examples of the previously-mentioned novella by Herman Grimm and in Shakespeare s Hamlet. A further example of the same in Herman Grimm s novel Insurmountable Powers. The separation that begins after death of the human forces that turn toward the cosmos and those that remain connected with the individual. The continued life after death of a soul completely connected with spiritual science: Frau Grosheintz. pages

3 Lecture Seven DORNACH, FEBRUARY 7, 1915 Selflessness as a condition for the research into life after death. A verse from Goethe for use in mediating. The awakening of the soul after death as a dampening of an overly strong consciousness. On the unity of the ocean of thought with the multiplicity of individual hierarchical beings. The relationship of artistic activity with post-death experiences. The ripening of art through spiritual-scientific thought. Two examples of modern artists fear of the spiritual world. Our connection with the souls of people who die young. Theo Faiss. Frau Colazza. Fritz Mitsche as a model of selflessness and objectivity. pages Lecture Eight DORNACH, MARCH 27, 1915 The gaining of suprasensory knowledge through the liberation of spiritual forces from the physical organism. Three forms of clairvoyance and the differences among them. The clairvoyance of the head as the one most appropriate to our time. The penetration of spiritual beings into our thoughts as a demand of the present. The presentiment of this need in the materialist Ludwig Feuerbach. The tendency toward superficiality and inconsequential thinking as an enemy of spiritual science. pages Lecture Nine DORNACH, MARCH 28, 1915 Wilhelm Jordan as the renewer of the Nibelungenlied. On the content of the old Nibelungelied. The important personalities of Siegfried and Brunhilde affected by the influence of earlier incarnations. Certain sections from Jordan s new iteration. The expiration of the old forces of Sun sight, described in the myth of Baldur and Nanna, further explored in the tragedy of the Nibelungelied. Jordan s presentiment of these connections. A lack of understanding for this in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. A letter from Frederick II to Christoph Heinrich Müller as an expression of this lack of understanding. The waning of an inner relationship to speech and Jordan s attempt at renewing it. pages

4 Lecture Ten DORNACH, APRIL 2, 1915 The silencing of the bells from Good Friday through Easter. The ancient Celtic- Germanic connection with the spiritual essence in nature. The mourning of the loss of the feeling for nature expressed in the myth of Baldur s death. His descent to Hel as an image for the sinking of the living forces of artistic imaging into the unconscious depths of the human soul. The revival of these forces through the resurrected Christ. The mourning of the loss of spiritual nature echoed in the Evangelienharmonie by Otfried von Weissburg. The feeling for the connection of Christ with the forces of nature in the Heliand. pages Lecture Eleven DORNACH, APRIL 3, 1915 The mood of the days around Easter. The passage of the Christ through death and burial. His fight against Lucifer and Ahriman. The significance of these events for our coming life on Jupiter. The revival of Earth consciousness within the Jupiter existence. The rescue of the human soul from the power of Lucifer and Ahriman. The Last Judgment by Michelangelo as an expression of an earlier understanding of the Christ. Some words about that by Herman Grimm. Christian Morgenstern s new understanding of the Christ. pages Lecture Twelve DORNACH, MAY 1, 1915 Some words from the philosopher Otto Liebmann. His hesitation before the gate of anthroposophy. How thought activity is moved from the etheric body into the astral body through initiation. The etheric body as an instrument of reflection. The formation of an etheric heart. The system of ganglia and its significance for the future. Head clairvoyance through the high development of thought forces. Stomach clairvoyance through reflecting back unconscious drives. pages

5 Lecture Thirteen DORNACH, MAY 2, 1915 The forces of thought and will in their expression following death and during initiation. Becoming conscious of thought events through reflection on what was previously thought. The transformation of our earthly life into an organ of perception for the spiritual world. Exercises for the furthering of our will forces beyond what is normally experienced. Schopenhauer at the gate of spiritual knowledge. The externalization of soul research in experimental psychology. A book by Edwin Starbuck. The necessity of taking up the Christ impulse. An example of a falsification of history. pages Editorial and Reference Notes 247 Rudolf Steiner s Collected Works 261 Significant Events in the Life of Rudolf Steiner 277 Name Index 291
