    II. Chapter 2. A Brief Description of the Transphysical Method

    Some might reply that they, too, have spent time in the forests and bathed in rivers, that they, too, have walked through woods and fields and, standing on the mating ground of grouse, have felt at one with Nature, but that they have never experienced anything resembling elementals. If it is a...

    II. Chapter 2. A Brief Description of the Transphysical Method

    There is a widespread misconception that all religious outlooks are hostile to this life and that they substitute the values of the afterlife for the values of this world. There is no more justification for that generalization than for the claim, for example, that the art of painting distances...

    II. Chapter 2. A Brief Description of the Transphysical Method

    We can summarize thus: by the second half of our century in the educated and semi-educated classes of those nations belonging to the Roman Catholic, German Protestant, and Russian spheres of cultural influence, two attitudes toward Nature that thus far have almost never conflicted with one...

    II. Chapter 2. A Brief Description of the Transphysical Method

    There would appear an endless variety of attitudes among people toward nature – individual attitudes that sometimes harbor internal contradictions. But if we trace the evolution of those attitudes throughout the history of global culture, from the invention of script to the present day, we may...

    II. Chapter 1. Some Features of the Metahistorical Method

    There is an even more advanced mode of travel through the planetary cosmos, involving the same departure of the etheric body, the same journeys with a great guide through planes of ascent or descent, but with full maintenance of waking consciousness. Upon their return, such travelers bring back...

    II. Chapter 1. Some Features of the Metahistorical Method

    The books that I have written in a purely literary style are based on the metahistorical knowledge revealed personally to me. The worldview that forms the skeleton of this book has been derived in its entirety from those revelations. Where did I come up with its images? Who instilled these ideas...

    II. Chapter 1. Some Features of the Metahistorical Method

    The phrase religious feeling is a commonly used but misleading expression. There is no general religious feeling but, rather, a vast world of religious feelings and experiences, endless in their variety, which often contrast with one another, differing in emotion, focus, intensity, tone, and...

    I. Chapter 3. Perspective on Religion

    I have touched on only four interreligious disputes. With the exception of the last one, which springs from a moot and insufficiently precise formulation, these disputes are founded on discrepancies in the spiritual experiences of the great prophets, on the fact that while viewing certain...

    I. Chapter 3. Perspective on Religion

    Scientific progress presents itself to us as a continuous process whereby relative component truths are accumulated, elaborated, and fine-tuned. At each successive stage it is the custom to repudiate not the set of facts accumulated earlier but merely their outdated interpretation. Instances...

    I. Chapter 3. Perspective on Religion

    How often we use the word “truth” and how seldom we ponder its meaning. In pondering its meaning here, we will not, however, let ourselves be troubled by the fact that we are essentially repeating the question posed by Pilate. Rather, we will attempt, as best as we are able, to arrive at a...

    I. Chapter 2. Perspective on Culture

    The overall goal of the Rose of the World – or, to be more exact, of the gigantic spiritual process that began thousands of years ago and of which the Rose of the World is but one stage – is the enlightenment of Shadanakar. And the foremost task of our age consists in establishing everywhere...

    I. Chapter 2. Perspective on Culture

    Little by little, a new attitude toward everything will arise: there would not be a slightest reason for the Rose of the World to come into being if it only repeated what has been said before. A new attitude and way of thinking will emerge in regard to every aspect of life, large and small...

    I. Chapter 1. The Rose of the World and its Foremost Tasks

    No one but God knows where and when the Rose of the World's first flames will be kindled. The country Russia has only been designated; tragic events might still take place that could interfere with that mystical event and force it to be relocated to another country. The time the sixties has only...

    I. Chapter 1. The Rose of the World and its Foremost Tasks

    I picture an international organization, both political and cultural in nature, setting as its aim the transformation of the state through the consistent implementation of far-reaching reforms. The crucial stage in the fulfillment of that aim will be the founding of the Global Federation of...

    I. Chapter 1. The Rose of the World and its Foremost Tasks

    1.1.1 This book was begun at a time when the threat of an unparalleled disaster hung over the heads of humanity when a generation only just recuperating from the trauma of the Second World War discovered to its horror that a strange darkness, the portent of a war even more catastrophic and...
