Publisher's Synopsis
The present volume of intermediate lectures contains excerpts from three different works. The first is from GA 21; Enigmas of the Soul ([Amazon: ] Keryx, 2017). This is the rather brief passage that would prove foundational both for Waldorf education and the threefold social order in which Steiner first sets out the correspondences between thinking and the nervous system, feeling and the rhythmic system, and willing and the metabolic or limb system. Steiner also has quite a bit to say about Imagination, Inspiration, and Intuition. The second is also quite short, but extremely sublime: here he describes the ways that Imagination, Inspiration, and Intuition yield higher cognition to incarnated spirits, while the same three faculties represent spiritual realities guiding us into incarnation. The third is likewise short and likewise sublime, detailing the ways in which Imagination and Inspiration and Intuition rise up to direct intuition of the cosmic ethers and the workings of the planets
