Description
In Cosmic Memory Rudolf Steiner shows the insoluble link between humanity and cosmos as the fundamental basis of evolution. Accordingly, Humanity participates in the development of the world and is directly connected to the ultimate destiny of the universe. Knowledge of our exalted origins and the path we choose is indispensable toward a positive future evolution. Therefore, through the study of Steiner’s writings, we come to a clear, comprehensive understanding of ourselves and our place in the universe.
In the tradition of the ancient wisdom literature, Cosmic Memory reconstructs, from the akashic record, events that span the ages. From the Lemuria- Atlantis period to the beginning of recorded history. This spiritual research includes a profound investigation of the origins, achievements, and fate of the Atlanteans and Lemurians―the remarkable “lost” root races:
- that developed the first concepts of “good” and “evil,”
- manipulated natural forces,
- laid the foundation for human legal and ethical systems,
- defined and nurtured the distinctive yet complementary powers of men and women that brought humankind, many centuries ago, to its highest artistic, intellectual, and spiritual attainments.
Through this discussion of our true origins, Cosmic Memory offers a genuine foundation for our lives, allowing us to realize our real value, dignity, and essence. The reader is shown our human connection with the world around us as well as our highest goals and true destiny.
This is a key volume for understanding Rudolf Steiner’s early development as a Theosophist and how his ideas, terminology, and formulations during that time fit into the development of his anthroposophic epistemology and Christology.
This volume is a translation of Aus der Akasha-Chronik (Rudolf Steiner Gesamtausgabe 11), Rudolf Steiner Verlag, 1986.

Author
Rudolf Steiner
(1861 – 1925)
Rudolf, born in the small village of Kraljevec, Austro-Hungarian Empire lived in Weimar and Berlin, where he became a well-published scientific, literary, and philosophical scholar. Known for his work with Goethe’s scientific writings, his spiritual teaching career began under the auspices of the Theosophical Society. Steiner came to use the term Anthroposophy (spiritual science) for his philosophy, and spiritual research. Thus, Steiner’s multifaceted genius led to innovative and holistic approaches in medicine, various therapies, philosophy, religious renewal, Waldorf education, and biodynamic agriculture. He also introduced Goethean science, architecture, and the arts of drama, speech, and eurythmy. In 1924, Rudolf Steiner founded the General Anthroposophical Society, which today has branches throughout the world. He died in Dornach, Switzerland.
