PREVIEW

This course was given in response to requests from many people to do a survey of the subtle bodies of the human being according to the teachings of Rudolf Steiner. The sixteen presentations are accompanied by exercises designed to evoke the consciousness of the particular body that is being presented in the lecture part of the session. The initial symbolic exercises evolve into an exploration of the laws of projective geometry as an example of the relationship between the physical body and the life body. The exercises then shift to human interaction as the soul with its manifold functions becomes the subject of the presentations. The great karma exercise from Rudolf Steiner then focuses the work on the action of the I being as a doorway to the higher states of manas, buddhi, and atma.
