Europe A Cosmic Picture Book – Rare
By Maria Schindler
First publication 1975 version.
European thought and culture has had an enduring impact worldwide, but Europe has also been a focus of conflict and world wars. With its international influence, Europe bears a responsibility, in both example and practice, for humanity’s continued development.
This is the classic work of Maria Schindler providing valuable spiritual insight into Europe’s contribution to human civilization—its past as well as its future tasks—at a critical time in the continent’s destiny. Based on decades of first-hand experience and multilingual study, the author weaves a pictorial tapestry of Europe’s biographical history in all its human, earthly, and cosmic content.
In past centuries, says Schindler, world-changing events were centred on the destinies of individual countries and nations. Today, the individual needs of nations must be brought into harmony with the needs of humankind as a whole. The enormity of humanity’s problems demand fresh insights based on new solutions with firm foundations. The author presents her intimate knowledge of European folklore and languages in connection with Willi Sucher’s “star wisdom,” the research of Walter Johannes Stein and Eugen Kolisko, and the inspiration of Rudolf Steiner and his cosmological and Spiritual Science of the cosmos and humanity.
Features 52 illustrations and numerous diagrams.
“Forward: This remarkable book which, behind an apparently rather simple presentation, conceals profound erudition, has already been published successfully in Germany and is now, in particular appropriate circumstances, translated for English Readers.
The Point of view from which it is written is extraordinarily new, yet related to the oldest science in the World, that science was built the Great Pyramid, the great Druid monument of Stonehenge, and all the colossal monuments of ancient Mystery Centres, whose secrets are still a mystery to modern physical science. It is a point of view which links the mysterious movements and order of the Universe of Stars with the progress of mankind upon the Earth.” page 13
