Rudolf Steiner by Gary Lachman

Full Title: Rudolf Steiner - An Introduction to His Life and Work - by Gary Lachman

Rating: 4/5

Writing Style: A friendly read-able book. The life of Rudolf Steiner might come out dry for some authors to write, but Gary Lachman, founding member of the rock group Blondie, did a great job and I will look for his other books;  ’The Garden of Hermetic Dreams‘ or ‘The Dedalus Book of Literary Suicides‘. 

Comments:

Rudolf Steiner was super-busy. If he chose this life mission before he was born he went for the max, pushing as many spiritual integrative ideas as he could in a materialist environment. Worth learning more about this guy. 

I found this book random walking through the library… so it introduced me to many keywords worth Google researching; Goethean Science, Theospohy, Anthroposophy (… phew that has to be shortened for a dotcom name), Ahriman, even Lemuria. (Steiner’s idea of Lemuria occurring just prior to the moon forming looks nifty.)

I haven’t found any Steiner podcasting, but this Rudolf Steiner Audio site looks OK. I am sure everyone would prefer to hear Steiner’s own voice and not a reading by someone else, but what can you do. (Like Terence Mckenna’s charismatic voice power.) Not much podcasting or blogging back in Steiner’s day.
