Life Between Death and Rebirth
GA 140
In these lectures Rudolf Steiner deals with the experience of the human soul during and after death. He describes the states of consciousness experienced by our deceased loved ones and how we, taking into account their new consciousness, can communicate with them and even help them. Reading these descriptions, it becomes clear that excarnated souls need the spiritual support of those presently incarnated, and that those still on earth in turn derive enlightenment and support from their former earth companions.
Sixteen lectures given in various cities in Europe during 1912-1913. From the Volume: Occult Investigation of Life Between Death and Rebirth, published in German as: Okkulte Untersuchungen Ueber Das Leben Zwischen Tod und Neuer Geburt. Die lebendige Wechselwirkung zwischen Lebenden und Toten. Translated from shorthand reports unrevised by the lecturer, by R. M. Querido.
