| Lecture I:
A convulsive element is at work in the evolution of
humanity during the 19th century. Two examples from European
literature of significant insight into happenings in the spiritual
worlds: “The Mahaguru,” a novel by Gutzkow, and “The
Undivine Comedy,” a drama by Zigmunt Krasinski.

October 31, 1915 |
| Lecture II:
When most of the souls now living are reincarnated
they will know as a natural matter of course that there are many
earthly lives. The men of the Lemurian and Atlantean epochs and
their occult arts. Knowledge and application of hidden forces of
nature. The gradual development of free will and a new knowledge of
nature. Decadent remains of ancient, occult chemistry, for example
in Tibet. Necessity for acquiring knowledge of Lucifer and Ahriman,
The Ego must be permeated by Christ. Senses-perceptions and ideas.
The concept of knowledge and the concept of life. Extract from a
letter written by Petrarch to Boccaccio. Ahasver, the Wandering
Jew. “Christ is seeing us.”
|
November 1, 1915 |
| Lecture III:
The tragic wrestling with knowledge. How can man find
the link with the true realities in the cosmos? Fechner and the
discovery of medicaments. The moral physiognomy of men in the sixth
post-Atlantean epoch as the nemesis of materialism. Gradual
stiffening of the etheric body, and its consequences.
