Emil Bock lectured widely on Rudolf Steiner after World War Two, and during the course of his research he uncovered many previously unknown aspects of Steiner’s life. This book, the second of two volumes, explores some of the themes and ideas in Steiner’s work, as well as exploring the nature of destiny.
The early years of Jesus, the Christmas festival and the break from the Theosophical Society to the Anthroposophical Society are just some of the many themes and events covered in this comprehensive study. Bock also examines the circle of people around Steiner at this time and, using Steiner's ideas on karma and reincarnation, draws interesting parallels with Rome, Byzantium, Ephesus and the Grail Castle.
