Through his intuitive reading of the Akashic Record the living memory of Earth and cosmos Rudolf Steiner described dimensions of the life of Jesus Christ that extend beyond the four canonical Gospels. After years of inner struggle and rigorous self-examination, Steiner began presenting these insights publicly in 1913. He spoke with great care and restraint, fully aware of the responsibility involved, yet convinced that such knowledge was necessary for a new, conscious understanding of Christ.In this series of deeply moving lectures, given in Oslo and five German cities, Steiner unfolds a coherent picture of Jesuss earthly mission. He describes the existence of two Jesus children, the transfer of the Zarathustra-I, Jesuss experience of the Essene community, and the profound inner suffering that prepared the way for the Baptism in the Jordan. Central moments including the temptations in the desert, the sorrow over the decline of ancient Mystery paths, Jesuss conversations with Mary, and the gradual union of the Christ-Being with the sheaths of Jesus of Nazareth appear as stages in a cosmic drama of sacrifice and love. The Mystery of Golgotha emerges as the decisive turning point of Earth evolution: not merely an historical event, but the birth of a new cosmic impulse through which Christ united with the Earth. This complete edition the first to feature all eighteen lectures on the subject includes an introduction by Tom Ravetz. Eighteen lectures, Oct. 1913Feb. 1914, various cities, GA 148

Comincio a tracciare una linea unica su un foglio di carta bianco, e questa linea si sviluppa e si incrocia senza limiti, con forza e con dolcezza, alle volte, forse, senza una particolare espressione, eppure voluttuosamente e maliziosamente, e con il suo continuo svilupparsi e sovrapporsi giunge a costituire una grande varieta di spazi formati dalle aperture fra linea e linea, in un complesso ben equilibrato, che diviene, da solo, un meraviglioso merletto.

At the outset I wish to impress on those who read this straightforward and unembellished narrative of my amazing and often exciting adventures, that I seek not to hide my own shortcomings, for they are alas! many; nor do I in the least desire to pose as a vainglorious hero. At least, I am not one who slops about in the oozy slime of the sex problem.From leading the normal life of an ordinary young man about London, I was, by a strange freak of ill-fortune, and in the space of a single minute, plunged into a veritable vortex of doubt and misery, compelled to lead the life of a hunted criminal, and to resort to all sorts of ruses in order to retain my liberty. And yet, the events which led up to the sudden change in my life are such as might occur to any man, on any night, in any big city in the world.

Erano in cinque, dalle forti e larghe spalle, appoggiati ad una tavola a bere, in una specie di stanza oscura che sentiva di salsedine e di mare. Si intuiva al di fuori il mare e la notte; una sola apertura era nel soffitto, ma chiusa da un coverchio di legno ed una vecchia lampada, sospesa alla volta, illuminava fiocamente. I cinque uomini asciugarono i loro vestiti bagnati presso il fuoco di un fornello, laria era tutta pregna del fumo delle loro pipe di terracotta. La tavola massiccia occupava tutta la stiva; essa ne prendeva esattamente la forma e vi lasciava tanto spazio quanto ne bastava per girarvi intorno e per poter sedere su dei cassoni stretti, attaccati con catene ai muri.

The imagery of the Book of Revelation St Johns Apocalypse has inspired centuries of interpretation, much of it symbolic or speculative. In this exceptional series of lectures, Rudolf Steiner approaches the least understood of Christian texts from a fundamentally different standpoint: that of direct spiritual perception and experiential knowledge.Steiner presents the Apocalypse not as a prophecy of distant events, but as a living book of initiation that addresses the evolution of human awareness, the sacramental life and the future tasks of Christianity. The Apocalypse unfolds as a cosmic and historical drama: the Alpha and Omega of consciousness, the meaning of its sacred numbers, letters, seals and trumpets, and the downfall of the powers opposing the Christ Impulse. The Michael and Sun mysteries, the significance of 666 and the images of Babylon, the Beast and the New Jerusalem are explored in relation to karma, freedom and morality. The Apocalypse emerges as a spiritual guide for our time, demanding engagement of the will and conscious striving. Central to this vision is the changing experience of the Communion service through successive Mystery epochs, culminating in a future knowledge of the human I. By revealing the unity of cosmic and earthly processes, religion and knowledge, Steiner presents the Book of Revelation as a living source for humanitys future development and the renewal of priestly work.

THE STORY OF HOW A WILD MOUNTAIN ADVENTURE EVOLVED INTO AN ELITE OLYMPIC SPORTWhy is the best blood of England to waste itself in scaling hitherto inaccessible peaks, in staining the eternal snow, and reaching the unfathomable abyss never to return? - The Times, 1865In the 1950s, rock climbing was a wild mountain adventure that was defined by a rebellious, bohemian culture and practised by small groups of amateur enthusiasts. Today, rock-climbing has become a professionalised, high-performance, mass-participation Olympic sport. There are now more than 400 climbing walls and over 500,000 people climb regularly in the UK.Ascent tells the story of this remarkable transformation.Anthony King a dedicated climber himself traces the sports evolution through decades of rebellion, innovation and achievement to its place today as a vibrant, diverse culture. His own experiences colour the narrative; we discover not just how climbing developed, but what it feels like to climb and be a climber. More than just a history of the sport, through this story we also see how British society itself has changed.Expansive, immediate and deeply engaging, Ascent is both cultural sport history and lived experience.

Radically lyrical, politically astute, this new collection features six writers whose every word is an act of affirmation. As it must be, for their art to flourish beside one of the worlds great languages.In Alcatraz: Poems from the Contemporary Welsh, we find youthful energies tackling climate change, global extinctions, even human life beyond our planet. Whether in Wales or Palestine, Manhattan or the island of Alcatraz itself, we learn that todays Welsh language poetry, with its unique perspective, is as valid as any verse in the world. And, possibly, more vital.If these translations take liberties, none are unforgivable. The spirit of each poem remains unblemished. Here, veteran writers, such as Menna Elfyn, Karen Owen and Iwan Llwyd, mix with the next generations Iestyn Tyne, Llyr Gwyn and Sian Northey. Alcatraz is an essential work for anyone interested in the good health of modern poetry in the UK.
