Descriere The Night as a Wellspring of Strength: Sleep, Spiritual Encounters, and the Starry Firmament - Rudolf Steiner

\n \nSelections from various volumes in The Collected Works of Rudolf Steiner\n I fall asleep. Until I awaken my soul will be in the world of spirit, and there will meet the guiding impulse-giver of my earthly life, my genius, who dwells in the world of spirit, hovering round my head. -- Rudolf Steiner \nThe night is an essential counterpart to the day. By day we possess the capacity of conscious, logical thought, whereas at night--having left the physical body to regenerate during sleep--we give ourselves up to a different form of consciousness. Rudolf Steiner describes the night as the realm of intuition, a place of deep spiritual encounter, as well as a wellspring of renewal and healing.\n \nWith its lucid introduction and notes, The Nightseeks to conjure the special atmosphere and quality of the nocturnal hours, so that the real spiritual encounters of night-time can fruitfully inform our daily life, helping us to live in a fuller, healthier way.Nighttime is when we can meet, consciously or unconsciously, our higher self. We have the opportunity to work with angelic beings and even to access the world of the dead. The night can be a source of poetic and artistic inspiration, and for initiates it provides a field for conscious awareness. It is also a special time for certain esoteric exercises before going to sleep and upon waking.\n \nEdited by Edward de Boer, this anthology offers textual passages, lecture extracts, exercises, and many verses and prayers as an invitation to readers to engage more consciously with the starry heavens and the night realm.\n
