| | Session 027 Notes
“One cannot discuss the Mystery of Evil without profound emotion, for here we touch upon one of the deepest mysteries of the fifth post-Atlantean epoch, upon something which meets with little understanding today. The Mystery of Death is related to it. Humanity's sensitivity to these things is but little developed as yet.”
~ Rudolf Steiner, From Symptom to Reality in Modern History
(1) Our GET group continues to grow!
There are currently 248 people registered from 34 countries, with 15 participants at this week's session.
(2) This week's topical focus:
The era of the consciousness soul is characterized by individualization, individuation, and isolation. The mystery of evil as a necessary trial. The difference between the original denotative meaning of the world ‘occult’ and current connotations. Dangers of esoteric (occult) development. When we are in service to the spiritual world, God protects our reputation. The relationship between body, soul, and spirit. Distinguishing between exoteric, mystical, and esoteric developmental exercises and experiences. As we strive upward to spiritual development and experience, to that same degree we must penetrate and integrate downward into soul and body. The essential nature of the human being (3-fold, 4-fold, 7-fold, 9-fold perspectives).
(3) Session handouts:
~ GET 027 - Slides
~ Rudolf Steiner 1918 - From Symptom to Reality in Modern History - Lecture 5
~ The Mystery of Evil as a Necessary Trial - Introductory Resources
