Leadbeater addresses this question of the aspirant, who may be wondering why the Master hasn't singled them out and asked for more. Leadbeater points out that the offer must come from the other side.

The Master's role is a higher one.

Questa è una raccolta di articoli pubblicati nel 1902 sulla rivista del "Nuovo Pensiero". Chi è già a conoscenza dei principi del "Nuovo Pensiero" come illustrati negli altri libri di Atkinson, gradirà trovarli illustrati, in modo più metaforico e colloquiale, sotto forma di piccole "gemme grezze", fruibili anche singolarmente, senza essere inscritte in una costruzione teorica. Chi invece ancora non conosce i punti fermi di detta filosofia, può avvicinarvisi tranquillamente in questo modo, che è tutto fuorchè pesante e di difficile digestione.

A concise, easy-to-listen introduction to Theosophical thought and the esoteric principles shared by the brilliant mystic H. P. Blavatsky.

Nach Abschluss seines esoterischen Hauptwerkes, der Geheimwissenschaft im Umriss von 1910, suchte Rudolf Steiner immer wieder nach neuen Wegen, die nunmehr im Kern entwickelte Anthroposophie in andere sprachliche und textuelle Formen zu bringen. Mit den Schriften Ein Weg zur Selbsterkenntnis des Menschen (1912) und Die Schwelle der geistigen Welt (1913) unternahm er den Versuch, zentrale Aspekte des anthroposophischen Denkens in Form von kurzen Meditationstexten zu entwickeln.

Innerhalb der intellektuellen Entwicklung Steiners nimmt die Schrift Das Christentum von 1902 eine zentrale Stellung ein. Sie dokumentiert den Übergang des Philosophen Steiner zum Mystiker und Esoteriker und steht somit im Brennpunkt aktueller Forschungskontroversen, etwa um die Kontinuität von Steiners intellektueller Entwicklung, um die "Christlichkeit" der Anthroposophie oder um die Abhängigkeit Steiners von der anglo-indischen Theosophie.

Neben der klassischen Darstellung des anthroposophischen Menschenbildes in der Theosophie von 1904 stellt das um 1910 entstandene Anthroposophie-Fragment den Versuch Rudolf Steiners dar, seine von ihm zunächst in Anknüpfung und Umwandlung der anglo-indischen Theosophie entwickelten Ansichten über das Wesen und die Bestimmung des Menschen von diesem Vorbild unabhängig und auf einer vollständig neuen terminologischen und gedanklichen Basis eigenständig zu entwickeln.

Dieser Vortrag, gehalten im Dezember 1912 ist einer der bekanntesten Einzelbeiträge Rudolf Steiners. In guter theosophischer Manier wird ein Thema tiefendurchleuchtet. In einem erstaunlichen Umweg erfahren wir, dass wirkliche Liebe immer selbstlos ist. Nebenbei werden alle Leute, die beim Wort "Liebe" gleich wonnevoll sich erwärmen oder jene, die sich "nett" verhalten, um später "im Himmel" sich einen "netten" Platz zu sichern, mit dem Satz "Liebe ist Abschlagszahlung für die Vergangenheit" wohl etwas ernüchtert.

"HINTS TO YOUNG STUDENTS OF OCCULTISM" is the title the editor of the American Theosophist, Louis William Rogers, has chosen for his first book on theosophy. The preface gives an idea of the purpose of the work:

"The growing interest in the higher life, and the general search for information that is helpful in attaining it, is sufficient reason for the publication of this little book. The purpose has not been to write of the subject in hand either exhaustively or systematically but to put forward helpful suggestions for taking some easy steps in self-development."

I was in an airport on Dec 23rd 2023. Sitting in the waiting lounge I kind of zoned out for a while just becoming a part of the ebb and flow of the people around me. All of a sudden this voice coming from me said to me WE ARE WATCHING OUT FOR AND TAKING CARE OF EVERYONE HERE. THIS IS WHAT WE DO. The words weren't really words. It was more of a strong telepathy but this is the essence of what was said.
