Life beyond Death

Although western humanity has conquered the outer world with the aid of technology and science, death remains an unsolved and largely unexplored mystery. Rudolf Steiner, a modern day initiate and seer of exceptional ability, was able to research this fundamental problem of what happens to human consciousness after the physical body passes away. In these lectures, based on his own direct perceptions, Steiner affirms that life continues beyond death. Far from being extinguished, the individual’s consciousness awakens to a new mode of reality, and begins a great journey to the farthest expanses of the spiritual cosmos in the company of, and in exchange with, ascending ranks of  spiritual Beings, before ultimately returning, renewed and transformed, to a new physical incarnation.

Rudolf Steiner also indicates that one of the most important tasks for our present civilization is the re-establishment of living connections with those who have died. He gives suggestions as to how this can be done without falling into the illusions of spiritualism and séances, and describes how the dead can be of help to those on earth.
