About Formative Forces in the Plant World - van Romunde
About Formative Forces in the Plant World (Hardback)

by Dick van Romunde

Colour drawings by Elly van Hardeveld
Dick van Romunde’s book About Formative Forces in the Plant World is the culmination of decades of ‘inner observation’ of many members of the plant world in the manner of what has come to be known to as Goethean observation, after it’s principle founder and exponent, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. The book guides the reader through the different stages of Goethean examination and contemplation of several plants and includes for each plant, delicately rendered colour drawings by artist, Elly van Hardeveld.

According to Luke - Rudolf Steiner
According to Luke

10 lectures by Rudolf Steiner

This lecture cycle presents the most accessible and illuminating of Steiner's revelations with regard to Christ, and his significance for humanity's spiritual development. He discusses the link between Buddha and the life of Christ, a description that unites Buddhism and Christianity, not as philosophical theory but in perceived spiritual deeds of these two figures. Here, too, Steiner describes the relationship of the Greek Mystery traditions to the event at Golgotha.

Agriculture Course

The Birth of the Biodynamic Method
8 lectures plus discussions and addresses by Rudolf Steiner

With these talks, Steiner created and launched 'biodynamic' farming - a specific form of agriculture which has come to be regarded as 'premium organic'. However, the agriculture Steiner speaks of in this book is much more than organic, and involves working with the spiritual dynamics of the cosmos as well as those of the earth. To facilitate this, Steiner prescribes specific 'preparations' for the soil, as well as other distinct methods born from his profound understanding of the material as well as spiritual worlds.

Anthroposophy - a fragment - by Rudolf Steiner
Anthroposophy (a fragment)

by Rudolf Steiner

Anthroposophy - a Fragment is an uncompleted text of 1910 which was found among Rudolf Steiner’s unpublished works, in the form of a hand­written manuscript and as printed sheets, corrected by the author. In these writings, Steiner takes the first steps in this work toward developing a truly spiritual psychology. Avoiding abstract descriptions and schematic knowledge, he demonstrates the phenomenological approach to the human being as a sense organ, to the life processes, the I-experience, the human form, and the relationship to the higher spiritual worlds.
This is an essential work for those who feel the importance of developing cognitively towards a greater understanding of the human being.

Observation, Experiment, Mathematics
8 lectures by Rudolf Steiner

Rudolf Steiner examines the underlying precepts of the modern scientific approach and its current tools of observation of nature, experimentation, and the use of mathematics to establish quantitative relationships which are then framed as laws. He relates the validity of this approach for examination of the lifeless mineral realm and then describes the different cognitive states that are necessary to scientifically examine the realms of the living and of the conscious.

Selected lectures by Rudolf Steiner

with an introduction, commentary and notes by Andrew Beard
Rudolf Steiner’s architecture is, like everything else that he expressed in his lifetime, a direct expression of his own experience of realms outside ordinary sensory experience.
