The Course Of My Life - Rudolf Steiner
A great copy of Steiner’s autobiography, I think it is important for the student on the Path to understand all 12 perspectives or facets of a certain thing, person, or idea, as Steiner suggests. One of the main things us bookworms forget is that Rudolph Steiner is looked at as a racist bigot by the profane. This title covers a broad spectrum from Steiner’s childhood to his experiences in the Unseen, where it is argued he may or may not have gotten information about his title Atlantis and Lemuria. Others speculate it was Leadbeater that Steiner got his info from.
Title formerly known as The Story Of My Life published in 1928 I believe.
In public discussions of the anthroposophy for which I stand there have been mingled for some time past statements and judgments about the course which my life has taken. From what has been said in this connection conclusions have been drawn with regard to the origin of the variations so called which some persons believe they have discovered in the course of my spiritual evolution. In view of these facts, friends have felt that it would be well if I myself should write something about my own life.
This does not accord, I must confess, with my own inclinations. For it has always been my endeavour so to order what I might have to say and what I might think well to do according as the thing itself might require, and not from personal considerations. To be sure, it has always been my conviction that in many provinces of life the personal element gives to human action a colouring of the utmost value; only it seems to me that this personal element should reveal itself through the manner in which one speaks and acts, and not through conscious attention to one's own personality. Whatever may come about as a result of such attention is something a man has to settle with himself.
And so it has been possible for me to resolve upon the following narration only because it is necessary to set in a true light by means of an objective written statement many a false judgment in reference to the consistency between my life and the thing that I have fostered, and because those who through friendly interest have urged this upon me seem to me justified in view of such false judgments.”
