Egyptian Myths and Mysteries: (Cw 106)

Rudolf Steiner goes through the evolution of humans... I could formulate it differently for Rudolf Steiner communicates in lenght about animal forms, Atlantis etc. but the main focus is how everything has evolved into the human form of today and will evolve in the future. To make the listeners (all are verbal lectures which are recorded in this book) Rodulf Steiner communicated about: - Zodiacal Signs in relationship to development of human body - Evolution of animal(-like) forms up to the human form - Some about Atlantis about the state of consciousness entities had at that time and then explained how that changed through time after Atlantis period (post-Atlantis civilization) - this also linked with intitiation: 1) Indian 2) Persian 3) Egyptian-Assyrian-Babylonian-Chaldean 4) Grecian-Roman (aka Greco-Latin) 5) [American] 6) Christian - Atlantis development and then organ forming (lungs, brains) very briefly. - The forming of male and female bodies (throuhg Osiris and Isis influence). What I like about this book is that Rudolf Steiner went relatively in-depth with his explanation but still stayed on the surface enough, which makes it an in-depth but still understandable book for beginners into this matter... it is not too in-depth. Rudolf Steiner tried to explain all this by using the stories of the Egyptian Mysteries as a reference.

if "Esoteric Sience" (the evolution of the earth) left you with questions, this will answer some...once you started reading you don't want to stop, (except to recapitulate...)

In this book, Steiner gives a compelling and very astute description of the zodiacal signs and their relationship to the formation of the physical body. This is a book that artists, astrologers and anyone interested in the evolution of the human form will find absolutly facinating.
