The Mysteries of Evil Volume 1: A MysTech Study Guidebook (MysTech Study Guidebooks)

This book is designed as volume 1 of 2 comprising a guidebook each for a 12-session course that, in total uses excerpts from 66 lectures by Rudolf Steiner to deal with what Steiner called the Mysteries of Evil. As Catholicism and Protestantism have Satan so does Anthroposophy have spiritual beings that oppose proper human spiritual development. Lucifer and Ahriman are primary on this list that also includes Sorat and the Asuras. But Anthroposophy differs greatly from modern Christian and other religions in that these beings who inspire humans to do evil are considered necessary for the goals of human evolution to be attained. Thus, the mysteries of evil. Using these excerpts, this course explores evil as it applied in the past, in the present, and will in the future. The course examines how each person can, in grasping this mystery, overcome one's fear of evil and thereby act in confidence regarding the future. Read more
