Disease, Karma, and Healing

In these eighteen lectures, given weekly as part of an ongoing course on "the whole field of spiritual science," Steiner elaborates in detail on the diverse interplay of the human constitution (the physical, etheric, and astral bodies and the "I") in relation to rhythmic processes, developing consciousness, the history of human evolution, and our connection with the cosmos. Within this broad canvas, some of his themes acquire a very distinctive focus, including vivid accounts of the "intimate history" of Christianity, creating from "nothing," the interior of the Earth, and health and illness.
