“Truth is simple only for those who first wrestle their way through
multiplicity. It is like a thread of many pearls” (Rudolf Steiner). Like
pearls in the oyster, pearls of thought are easily overlooked. Lying
hidden in texts, they keep their light under a bushel, serving the
greater framework and context. But if we draw them out they begin
to shine, revealing their translucent facets and intrinsic harmony. 

In this meditative treasure, the editor has harvested and threaded
together such pearls from Rudolf Steiner’s books, creating new
textures and striking panoramas. Dynamic constellations of thought
arise, allowing us unusual and surprising access to Steiner’s spiritual
and philosophical thinking. In contrast to the prevailing view that
meaning arises only in context, these self-sufficient verbal universes
show us that the opposite can also be true. The pearls of thought in
this compact pocket book acquire enhanced meaning in isolation,
mysteriously becoming independent of the thoughts and phrases
that precede or follow them.

This collection of quotations, free of jargon or technical terminology,
is accessible to all readers interested in developing a meaningful
understanding of the human being’s place in the world and cosmos.
