Language: English Brand New Book. On February 3, 1913, the first General 
Meeting of the newly formed Anthroposophical Society was convened in Berlin. 
Six weeks later, in Holland, Rudolf Steiner spoke for the first time to an 
anthroposophical audience in a detailed, intimate way of the esoteric schooling 
of the individual human being in earthly life. Hence the fundamental importance 
of these lectures for anthroposophical inner development. Steiner deals here with 
the subtle effects of spiritual development at every level of the human being. 
Beginning with straightforward questions relating to the body s experience of 
foodstuff - meat, coffee, alcohol, and so forth - he unfolds the universe of 
anthroposophical spiritual striving until it includes direct perception of Paradise 
and the Holy Grail, as well as the role of the human being as evolving between 
the forces of Lucifer and Ahriman. This edition also includes as a prologue 
Steiner s crucial lecture on The Being of Anthroposophy, which has never before 
appeared in English. In this, Steiner says: Sophia will become objective again, 
but she will take with her what humanity is, and objectively present herself in 
this form. Thus, she will present herself not only as Sophia, but as Anthroposophia - 
as the Sophia who, after passing through the human soul, through the very being 
of the human being, henceforth bears that being within her, and in this form she 
will confront enlightened human beings as the objective being Sophia who once 
stood before the Greeks.
