Week 6
There has arisen from its narrow limits
My self and finds itself
As revelation of all worlds
Within the sway of time and space;
The world, as archetype divine,
Displays to me at every turn
The truth of my own likeness.
Week 32
I feel my own force, bearing fruit
And gaining strength to give me to the world.
My inmost being I feel charged with power
To turn with clearer insight
Toward the weaving of life's destiny.
—Translation by Ruth and Hans Pusch

Rudolf Steiner discusses the nature of warmth, its relationship to the four states of matter, to light, to color, and to the sub-earthly and super-earthly realms. He strives to extend modern ideas of physics through the understandings achieved by spiritual science. With extensive notes and diagrams, this work comprises essential reference material for teachers of the natural sciences, as well as interested parents and others.
The Second Scientific Lecture-Course: The Warmth Course (The Theory of Heat) — This publication is intended for those with a serious interest in the extension of modern scientific ideas about the physical sciences.
The title, in German, is: Geisteswissenschaftliche Impulse zur Entwickelung der Physik. Zweiter naturwissenschaftlicher Kurs. Die Warme auf der Grenze positiver und negativer Materialitaet.
