Product Description
This combination of two volumes in Rudolf Steiner's Collected Works presents Steiner's profound engagement with Hindu thought and, above all, the Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita as they illuminate Western Christian esotericism.

In his masterly introduction, Robert McDermott, a longtime student both of Rudolf Steiner and of Hindu spirituality, explores the complex ways in which the "Song of the Lord," or Bhagavad Gita, has been understood in East and West. He shows how Krishna's revelation to Arjuna--a foundation of spirituality in India for more than two and a half millennia--assumed a similarly critical role in the Western spiritual revival of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In the West, for instance, leading up to Steiner's engagement, he describes the different approaches manifested by Emerson, Thoreau, H.P. Blavatsky, and William James. In the East, he engages with the interpretation of historical figures such as Mahatma Gandhi and Sri Aurobindo, relating them to Steiner's unique perspective. At the same time, and most valuable, he illuminates the various technical terms and assumptions implicit in the worldview expressed in the Bhagavad Gita.

The main body of the book consists of two lecture courses by Rudolf Steiner: "The Bhagavad Gita and the Epistles of St. Paul" and "The Esoteric Meaning of the Bhagadvad Gita." In the first, the main purpose, as Robert McDermott shows in his introduction, is to integrate the flower of Hindu spirituality into his view of the evolution of consciousness and the pivotal role played in it by the Mystery of Golgotha--the incarnation, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Steiner sees Krishna as a great spiritual teacher and the Bhagavad Gita as a preparation, though still abstract, for the coming of Christ and the Christ impulse as the living embodiment of the world, law, and devotion, represented by the three Hindu streams of Veda, Sankhya, and Yoga. For him, the epic poem of the Bhagavad Gita represents the "fully ripened fruit" of Hinduism, whereas Paul is related but represents "the seed of something entirely new." In the last lecture, Steiner reveals Krishna as the sister soul of Adam, incarnated as Jesus, and claims Krisha's Yoga teachings streamed from Christ into Paul.

In the second lecture course, given five months later, Steiner engages the text of the Bhagavad Gita on its own terms, as signaling the beginning of a new soul consciousness. To aid in the understanding of both these important cycles, this volume includes the complete text of the Bhagavad Gita in Eknath Easwaran's luminous translation.

In our age, when East and West are growing closer together and we live increasingly in a global, intercultural, and religiously pluralistic world, this volume is necessary reading for all who are interested in a truly spiritual approach to the new reality. ... Read more

This book is interesting in the sense that it shows the relation between Hinduism and Christianity. It explains how the Bhagavad Gita is a written reflection of wisdomthat allowed the ancient Hindus, who were already losing their clairvoyance, to connect with the will of the gods. Steiner speaks of the Vedicscriptures as having matured and evolved over time in such a manner as to allow the human soul to develop and maintain a connection with the divine. He compares them to the works of the apostle Paul,which express the beginnings of Christian impulsesstill in their infancy.Steiner uses the metaphor of Christianity being like a seed which has fallen from a fully mature plant, but a seed which contains within itself the future expression of the relationship between God and humanity. ...

An Intriguing Concept Superbly Done
When I first ran across "Visual Journeys: A Tribute to Space Artists," I just had to buy it. As a part-time digital space artist and lifelong admirer of the works of such luminaries as Chesley Bonestell, Fred Freeman and Ludek Pesek, how could I resist? I figured that the artwork alone would be worth the price of the book even if the stories were disappointing--which I fully expected them to be, considering what I believe is the sad state of most modern science fiction.

I was right, but for reasons that were actually the other way around. The artwork in "Visual Journeys" is largely unremarkable, while the stories, almost without exception, are true gems. As a matter of personal preference, I tend to favor accurate, feasible, photo-realistic space artwork. Some of the pieces in "Visual Journeys," while they all are crisp, sharp and nicely printed on glossy paper, are a little too nonliteral for my tastes. I was exceptionally pleased to discover, however, that the stories accompanying the artwork are uniformly excellent. They are so good, in fact, that they could well be anthologized in a volume without any artwork at all and still be an excellent selection of enjoyable tales well worth reading. The intriguing juxtaposition of a piece of space artwork and a story that it inspired is an interesting bonus, as are the artist and author profiles at the end of the book.

An interest in space artwork is one reason for reading "Visual Journeys." An even better reason is to savor a collection of short stories that, in my opinion, is as good as any published in recent years. The mind-melding of two distinct artistic genres in "Visual Journeys" is an experiment that works great, and I hope to see more in the future. Highly recommended.

superb!
this is a rarity, a delicate tribute to the humorous, idealistic, and gorgeous science fiction tradition before it was transformed into hedonistic, materialistic, dystopian nonsense... more like this!

A Home Run!
I attended a science fiction convention in early June.At the convention Nebula-winner Richard Chwedyk read his short story "Where We Go," which is in the new anthology Visual Journeys, edited by Eric Reynolds of Hadley Rille Books.

Based on the impressive reading, I ordered the book.My first reaction to the book was "Wow!"The book's concept is unusual - authors write stories based on pieces of space art they've seen.The art - full color - is printed next to the story that inspired it.It's a very impressive package, and chock full of great stuff.There's not a bad story in the bunch, but some of the real highlights are:

* Cruising on Io (visual art by Bob Eggleton) and Io, Robot (short story by Tobias S. Buckell).It's the leadoff story, about robotic explorers of Io waiting for humans to return.The question becomes, what is a human?

* Ron Miller, a Hugo award-winning artist, takes a Chesney Bonestell painting, "Funeral on Mars" (American astronauts burying one of their own) and turns in a crackerjack story called "The Funeral."It's somewhat of a mystery story, but to help you solve it, here is a hint - Ron is very big on 19th Century SF writers.

* Frank Wu, another visual artist, gives us his first published short story, "Worlds in Collusion" based on the painting "Impact" by Joe Tucciarone.It's an unusual dual romance.You'll have to read it to see who is doing the romancing.

* G. David Nordley takes Wolf Read's painting "Hell Orbit" and gives us an interesting short story of the same name.It's a mix of romance and coming-of-age, set in a star system 30 light years from Earth.

* Bob Eggleton (artist) and Jay Lake (writer) team up (in a virtual way) in a quirky but interesting short story called "After Bonestell."Bob also teams up with James Van Pelt, who uses Bob's "Of Late I Dreamt of Venus" to create an interesting story of obsession, also titled "Of Late I Dreamt of Venus."

*Richard Chewdyk's story "Where We Go" isn't so much science fiction as about science fiction, notably the history of it in Chicago of the 1940s.It is, however, quite touching.The artwork for this story, "Kronos Jazz Quartet" by Delphyne, was actually created for the story, the only case like that in this book.Richard dedicates his story to his father, Joseph, who was a painter and artist.

* Ron Miller contributes a painting, "Jupiter Cloudscapes," to the book.It's used by Christopher McKitterick to write the wonderful story "Jupiter Whispers," which is about the exploitation of Jupiter.

Hadley Rille is a new publishing house, and this is only their second book.It's a real home run, and I look forward to their next effort, a two volume set called "Ruins."

It was Autumn when Paul McDermott stood on the doorstep of a house that would exert a pull on him years after he closed the door for the final time. He was nervous, and totally unprepared to meet the woman he had agreed to visit. Val lived in this house, in a small military town; she was 74 and had been diagnosed with cancer. Though bewildered and frightened underneath, she appeared simply as a small, wrinkled, elderly woman with a mischievous awareness and a penetrating stare. So began Paul's series of regular visits to Val over a number of years. As he sat and listened to her talk in her front lounge, or struggled ineptly with the tasks she set him, Val opened up her world: the secrets and memories and lessons of her life that were soon to be extinguished and perhaps forgotten. Gradually, as she came to terms with her past - and also with her future - she took on an effortless clarity and peace that brought her into a supremely human focus. And, at the same time, Paul's own perceptions were challenged in a way he would never have believed when he first arrived at her door. Somehow they created something profound and very precious between them.Full of a surprising warmth, mixed with courage and humour, this remarkable story is deeply life-affirming, not only for the two central characters on their parallel journey - but also for us all. ...

Excerpt: Edward Gough Whitlam, AC, QC (born 11 July 1916), known as Gough Whitlam (pronounced ), served as the 21st Prime Minister of Australia from 1972 to 1975. He was dismissed as Prime Minister by the Governor-General Sir John Kerr at the climax of the 1975 Australian constitutional crisis; he is the only Prime Minister to have his commission terminated in that manner. Whitlam entered Parliament in 1952, representing the Australian Labor Party (ALP). In 1960 he was elected deputy leader of the ALP and in 1967, after party leader Arthur Calwell retired, he assumed the leadership and became Leader of the Opposition. After narrowly losing the 1969 election, Whitlam led Labor to victory at the 1972 election after 23 years of Liberal-Country Party government. In his time in office, Whitlam and his government implemented a large number of new programs and policy chang...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=12454 ... Read more
