How Does One Enter the World of Ideas?
GA 156
In these four lectures, Rudolf Steiner discusses how the human being can come to live in the world of ideas. Detailing the nature of human memory and the astral body as the reader of the esoteric script. He discusses the ancient art of sacred writing and the origin of the art of book printing. Additionally, Goethe's color theory is addressed as well as the folk nature and folk soul. He discusses the microcosm of the human being and the macrocosm of the world as well as the transition of the "I" into the astral body from conscious to subconscious experience. Furthermore, he tells how human beings are necessary to illuminate the Cherubim and warm the Serphim and our significance for the hierarchies. Finally, he discusses a holistic view of the world as the task of spiritual science, the transformation of the human organism in the coming Jupiter evolution, and architecture as frozen music.
