Synopsis "the work of the angel in our astral body"

1 lecture, Zurich, October 9, 1918 (CW 182) "A great deal is happening all the time in world evolution; and it falls to human beings, particularly those of our own time, to acquire real understanding of the world events in which they are involved." --Rudolf Steiner In this much loved lecture, Steiner reveals that the angels--the spirits closest to human beings --are trying to create images in human astral bodies. Such images are given for the purpose of bringing about "definite conditions in the social life of the future," related to brotherhood, religious freedom, and conscious spirituality. Other spiritual beings, however, work in opposition to the angels. If, because of their disruption, humanity sleeps though the angels' spiritual revelation, the consequences will be dire, leading to the manifestation of sexual aberrations, the misuse of medicine, and the misapplication of mechanical and technological forces. This book is a translation of one lecture from Der Tod als Lebenswandlung (GA 182).

Rudolf Steiner (Donji Kraljevec, Austro-Hungarian Empire, now Croatia, February 25 or 27, 1861-Dornach, Switzerland, March 30, 1925) was an Austrian philosopher, literary scholar, educator, artist, playwright, social thinker, and occultist. He was the founder of anthroposophy, Waldorf education, biodynamic agriculture, anthroposophic medicine, and the new artistic form of eurythmy.

He described anthroposophy as follows: Anthroposophy is a path of knowledge that would like to lead the spiritual in man to the spiritual in the universe. Those who feel certain questions about the essence of man and the world as a vital necessity as the one felt when we are hungry and thirsty can be anthroposophists.

Steiner proposed a form of ethical individualism, to which he later added a more explicitly spiritual component. He derived his epistemology from the worldview of Johann Wolfgang Goethe, according to which thought is an organ of perception just like the eye or the ear. Just as the eye perceives colors and the ear sounds, so thought perceives ideas.
