Man and the World of Stars
GA 219
The actions of spiritual beings in relation to the rhythm of the course of the year are brought to light in these inspiring lectures, showing how we are challenged to consciously integrate these rhythms into our earthly life. Steiner reveals that the concepts of spiritual science serve as our eyes in the spiritual world after death. He shows that we change the world when we communicate with it out of our spiritual nature, which is the true spiritual communion of humanity.
Here are these 12 lectures, in 2 parts, from the lecture series entitled, The Relationship of the the Starry World to Humans and of Humans to the Starry World, published in German as, Die Verhaeltnis der Sternenwelt Zum Menschen und des Menschen zur Sternenwelt. Die Geistige Kommunion des Menschheit. Translated by D.S. Osmond
