Steiner reveals, based on rich details from Goethe's life, how our life
can be determined by rhythms and cycles that are a result of earlier lives.
He shows how destiny works into our routine vocational activity and how
this activity releases forces that will bring about future worlds. Through
these remarkable lectures, we can see that no human work is insignificant
but all contributes to great cosmic processes.

Steiner reveals, based on rich details from Goethe's life, how our life
can be determined by rhythms and cycles that are a result of earlier lives.
He shows how destiny works into our routine vocational activity and how
this activity releases forces that will bring about future worlds. Through
these remarkable lectures, we can see that no human work is insignificant
but all contributes to great cosmic processes.
These ten lectures, given by Rudolf Steiner in the Fall of 1916 at Dornach,
are from the lecture series entitled,
The Karma of Human Vocation as related to Goethe's Life.
They were published in German as,
Das Karma des Befurs des Menschen in Anknuepfung an Goethes Leben.
Kosmische und menschliche Geschichte.
They were orignally translated by Olin D. Wannamaker and revised for this
edition by Gilbert Church, Ph.D. The final revision was prepared by Peter
Mollenhauer. This text is provided with the kind permission of the
Rudolf Steiner Nachlassverwaltung, Dornach, Switzerland.
