Karmic Relationships: Esoteric Studies - Volume VIII
On-line since: 15th October, 2010
By Rudolf Steiner
Translated by D. S. Osmond
Bn/GA 240
At the end of his life Rudolf Steiner took up the task that was his
special destiny; to bring to the West a knowledge of reincarnation and
karma. To do this he gave over eighty lectures in 1924 in which he
explicitly and concretely revealed the destinies of various individuals
from one life to the next in order to show how the general laws of karma
operate in individual cases. He also revealed many details of the karmic
streams of the members of the Anthroposophical Society. These volumes
constitute an immeasurable contribution to the understanding of
reincarnation and karma, and the tasks of the Anthroposophical Society
in connection with the Archangel Michael.
First printed in English in 1953 with the title,
Cosmic Christianity and the Impulse of Michael. Karma in the Life of
Individuals and the Evolution of the World.
Six lectures given at Torquay and London, England, between 12th and
27th August, 1924. Published here with the kind permission of the
Rudolf Steiner Nachlassverwaltung, Dornach, Switzerland.
Translated from shorthand reports unrevised by the lecturer by D. S.
Osmond. The original texts of the lectures are contained in Vol. VIII
of the series entitled
Esoterische Betrachtungen karmischer Zusammenhänge in the
Complete Edition of Rudolf Steiner's works. (No. 240 in
the Bibliographical Survey, 1961).
