Karmic Relationships

9 lectures, Breslau, Jun 7-15, 1924 (CW 239)During 1924, before his final address in September, Rudolf Steiner gave more than eighty lectures on karma to members of the Anthroposophical Society. These profoundly esoteric lectures examine the laws that underlie the processes of reincarnation and karma, exploring in detail the incarnations of specific historical figures. In Steiner's words, to study karma is "a matter of penetrating into the most profound mysteries of existence, for within the sphere of karma and the course it takes lie the processes that are the basis of the other phenomena of world existence."Volume 7 in the Karmic Relationships series of lecture courses focuses on human experiences after death and before a new birth; karma in world history; the cosmic nature of Christ; waking, dreaming, and sleeping; and the physical effects of karma.This volume is a translation from German of Esoterische Betrachtungen karmischer Zusammenhänge, in 6 Bdn, Bd.5 (GA 239).
