Description
Mystery of the Universe explores the perennial human question: what is the ultimate secret of the universe? In these eloquent lectures, Steiner describes the human being as the model of creation and the primary focus of the cosmos. He talks extensively of our intimate connection with the constellation of cosmic forces, the zodiac, and the planets.
The ancient Mystery traditions called individuals to “know thyself!” Rudolf Steiner tells us that this maxim does not ask us to subjectively study our own personal character but to understand our true, archetypal human nature and our decisive place in the universe. As human beings, we will progress and evolve in a real sense only by understanding our human nature and the surrounding spiritual forces – as microcosms within the greater macrocosm.
This book contributes significantly to the development of the contemporary spiritual science of the human being.

Author
Rudolf Steiner (b. Rudolf Joseph Lorenz Steiner, 1861–1925) was born in the small village of Kraljevec, Austro-Hungarian Empire (now in Croatia). As a young man, he lived in Weimar and Berlin, where he became a well-published scientific, literary, and philosophical scholar. Known especially for his work with Goethe’s scientific writings. Formally beginning his spiritual teaching career under the auspices of the Theosophical Society, Steiner came to use the term Anthroposophy (study of Man) for his philosophy. The influence of Steiner’s multifaceted genius has led to innovative and holistic approaches in medicine, philosophy, religious renewal. He is known for the Waldorf education system, biodynamic agriculture, 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.
