The Human Life (#108)
George and Gisela O’Neil, Florin Lowndes
ISBN: 978-0-929979-01-4 This long awaited contribution to biography work explores the various chapters of a human lifetime in the context of an anthroposophical world view. Cosmic evolution, destiny, and karma are discussed as they relate to one’s life and to the lives of others. The Human Life is a helpful guide to have as one travels the path of self-knowledge and tries to understand the encounters one meets — and possibly gets tripped up by — along the way. The enclosed life-chart lets one see aspects of the physical, life, soul, and ego — as well as the patterns — that show themselves in this incarnation. The Human Life has previously been described as being an accessible introduction to anthroposophy. (329pp, plus a removableLife-Chart poster) #108

by Gertraud Goodwin

Content is informed by intervals in music, the Christian festivals, the Zodiac, and process itself.

Dr. Mees takes as his basis of observation the idea that what we call our nervous system is only the physical expression of what lives everywhere in our body as an activity of perception. In the light of anthroposophy, he explores how our muscles become conscious of our desire to move.

A Drawing Lesson with Rudolf Steiner (#070)
by D.J. van Bemelen The Geometry of Shadows by Hermann von Baravalle When a child draws an object of nature, a tree, or a rock, for example, the child is experiencing nature itself. If solid, unbroken lines are used to represent the object, perception is fixed on something which isn’t really there. In reality, we perceive visual images as gradations of shade and color, never as the distinct outlines we commonly use to draw with. The techniques given in these two lessons allow a child to have a different and truer relationship to the physical world. (13 pp with illustrations) #070
