Spiritual Science Bible Studies
Genesis in its Original Intention
It is possible to uncover the meaning of Genesis as it was originally intended to be. But first we must be aware of the evolution of spiritual self-conscious awareness. This will allow us to become much more patient with ourselves and with God. It will also allow us to understand the nature of the Second Coming.
Understanding the Ten Commandments
Although The Ten Commandments is very well known today, it can become increasingly evident that the form in which it is so familiar to us has little correspondence to how it was known in Biblical times. It is not just that there is a great difficulty in how it was transmitted and translated. What matters is to try to restore to humanity the true living form of the Bible and the Ten Commandments in particular.
The Lord's Prayer
What is the difference between meditation and prayer? What is the fundamental characteristic of Christian prayer? Is this what you practice? What does this attitude prevent? Where should a Christian pray? According to what Authority?
Rudolf Steiner and a Spiritual Scientific Approach to the Bible
Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) is the best kept secret of the world. His spiritual scientific approach to the Bible is very important to consider, even if one disagrees with his conclusions. It is his way of looking at the Bible that is so enlivening and worth emulating.
Baptism
Baptism is the first of the Christian sacraments. Baptism is closely associated with repenting (re-thinking). Over the centuries many people have actually died fighting over exactly how it is practiced. Where does this come from and what does it mean?
Meditation on the First Sentence of St. John's Gospel
To become aware of the Logos is to become aware of the Logos in oneself. This sentence must be understood in all its meanings. By practicing this meditation everyday, the student will be able to transform his or herself.
The Raising of Lazarus
What happened to Lazarus? How does happening relate to "being born again?" What does this story have to do with our thinking ability today?
The Second Coming by William Butler Yeats
Great Poem by William Butler Yeats with interpretation. There is a great relevance to what is happening today in the world with terrorism, aids and other violence. Conditions make it very hard for Christ to be heard and seen.
Elijah and John the Baptist
Conventional Christianity and Judaism maintain that the whole thrust of the Bible opposes the doctrines and experiences of karma and reincarnation. However, a much more careful, open and intelligent reading of Scriptures shows the Bible to be very supportive of these ideas.
Transforming Grief Into Gratitude
As perspective of a landscape can best be gained at a distance, so
appraisal of an experience may be more accurately made at a distance
of time. At the time of an event, one is too much involved to look at
the situation objectively. However, spiritual research reveals that in the
supraconsciousness it is otherwise. Counseling also available with course.
