Synopsis "Macrocosm and Microcosm: The Greater and the Lesser World: Questions Concerning the Soul, Life and the Spirit (Cw 119)"

11 lectures, Vienna, March 21-31, 1910;1 public lecture, March 19, 1910 (CW 119)"Riddle upon riddle occupies space, riddle upon riddle flows in time;the solution comes only from the spiritthat grasps itselfbeyond the limits of spaceand beyond the flow of time."--Rudolf Steiner, Vienna, Mar. 19, 1910Rudolf Steiner shows how deeply and intimately human beings, the microcosm, are related to the macrocosm. But for Steiner the macrocosm is more than just the physical universe. It includes many hidden realms--including the world of elements and the world of archetypes--that lie behind outer manifestations such as our physical body. The macrocosm works within us continuously--in the daily rhythm of sleeping and waking and in the great cyclical interchange between incarnation on Earth and our time between death and rebirth. Steiner discusses various paths of self-development that lead across the threshold to spiritual dimensions, transforming human soul forces into organs of higher perception. In the future, we will even have the capacity to evolve a form of thinking that is higher than the intellect--thinking of the heart.In this classic series of lectures--now retranslated and featuring a previously unavailable public address--Rudolf Steiner discusses the planets and their connection with our sleeping and waking life; the inner path of the mystic; the "greater" and "lesser" guardians of the threshold; the Egyptian mysteries of Osiris and Isis; initiation in the Northern mysteries; the four spheres of the higher worlds; mirror images of the macrocosm in humankind; the strengthening powers of sleep; the symbol of the Rose Cross; reading the akashic record; four-dimensional space; the development of future human capacities, and much more. Macrocosm and Microcosm is a translation from German of Makrokosmos und Mikrokosmos. Die gro e und die kleine Welt. Seelenfragen, Lebensfragen, Geistesfragen (GA 119).

Rudolf Steiner (Donji Kraljevec, Imperio austrohúngaro, hoy Croacia, 25 o 27 de febrero de 18611-Dornach, Suiza, 30 de marzo de 1925) fue un filósofo austriaco, erudito literario, educador, artista, autor teatral, pensador social y ocultista. Fue el fundador de la antroposofía, la educación Waldorf, la agricultura biodinámica, la medicina antroposófica5 y de la nueva forma artística de la euritmia.

Describió la antroposofía como sigue: La antroposofía es un sendero de conocimiento que quisiera conducir lo espiritual en el hombre a lo espiritual en el universo. Pueden ser antropósofos quienes sienten determinadas cuestiones sobre la esencia del hombre y del mundo como una necesidad tan vital como la que se siente cuando tenemos hambre y sed.

Steiner propuso una forma de individualismo ético, al que luego añadió un componente más explícitamente espiritual. Derivó su epistemología de la visión del mundo de Johann Wolfgang Goethe, según la cual el pensamiento es un órgano de percepción al igual que el ojo o el oído. Del mismo modo que el ojo percibe colores y el oído sonidos, así el pensamiento percibe ideas.
