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.

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.

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.

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.

What if the only way to fix toxic masculinity were to erase it entirely? Mark Vogel is like the older brother Stefan never had, but one day he disappears without a trace. A year later, after encountering a woman who looks near-identical to Mark, Stefan becomes obsessed. He finds that dozens of young men have disappeared over the years, many of them students at the Royal College of Saint Almsworth, and most of them troubled or unruly. Why are students going missing? Who are these women who bear striking resemblances to them? And what is their connection to the selective student accommodation on the edge of campus, Dorley Hall?Stefan starts studying at Saint Almsworth for one reason and one reason only: to find out exactly what happened to the women who live at Dorley Hall, and to get it to happen to him, too. An electrifying debut by Alyson Greaves, Welcome to Dorley Hall is an intense exploration of gender and society that will appeal to readers of Torrey Peters, Imogen Binnie and Gretchen Felker-Martin.

A fascinating book that covers the history and development of something that is unique to the Middle Ages the castle. - Medieval HistoryOver 1,000 castles were built in the century following the Norman Conquest. Most were constructed in the wake of the Conquest itself by the Norman lords and their allies as they took possession of their lands. These conquerors in a hostile land numbered only a few thousand and their castles became both symbols of subjugation and bastions of paranoia.Nevertheless, contrary to the popular perception, medieval castles were more often lived in than fought over. A castle was a fortified feudal residence, a symbol of a lords power and authority and the instrument of regional domination: administrative, judicial and military.Very few castles remain unaltered from when they were first built and none fits neatly into any particular category. Many have succumbed to the ravages of siege warfare, abandonment and despoliation, especially in the aftermath of the English Civil War. Some have been entirely rebuilt and most have been remodelled many times, according to the current military, domestic and architectural fashion. For several there is evidence of continuous occupation from the twelfth century to the present day.Stephen Friar has an encyclopaedic knowledge of all aspects of castles as well as the ability to place issues within a historical context and explain them succinctly and clearly for the non-specialist. From quadrangular castles to shell keeps, garderobes and gargoyles to tournaments, and anarchy to zig-zag moulding, this detailed AZ reference book, with its lavish illustrations, is essential reading for anyone interested in medieval castles.A fascinating book as well as providing a history of British castles, the book also offers advice on how to get the most enjoyment and fulfilment out of your visits. - The Journal
