Mantric Sayings: Meditations (The Collected Works of Rudolf Steiner)

By "mantric sayings," Rudolf Steiner means content given by the spiritual world to be absorbed and experienced in meditation. Thus the volume contains intuitive insights received "from the spiritual world" and, as such, the vehicle to return us to it. The meditations were often given personally to others for general use, as well as for specific situations or needs such as healing and strengthening, in relation to those who had died, or for anthroposophic work. In other words, these short texts are to be performed--to be experienced. In this sense, they are directive--enjoining us to "Do this!"--and affirmative-positive, filled with hope, and oriented toward the other and the future. Mantric Sayings includes translations of scriptural passages and ancient versions of the Lord's Prayer that were part of Steiner’s own meditative practice, as well as the 1913 lecture, "The Foundation Stone Address," for this, too, contains gifts of the spirit. Also included is Steiner's important "Macrocosmic [or Reverse] Lord's Prayer."
