Temple Lodge Publishing The Anthroposophical Society as a Michael
Book Synopsis'What lies spiritually and cosmically at the foundation of a community like the Anthroposophical Society? In wrestling with this question, I have come to the inner conviction that it is justified to speak of the Anthroposophical Society as a Michael community.' - Paul Mackay How can one understand Rudolf Steiner's use of the word 'we' in the last part of the Foundation Stone Meditation ('What we found from our hearts and direct from our heads with focused will')? What characterizes this 'we'? In the first part of this original and inspiring work, Paul Mackay takes this question as a point of departure, developing a unique approach to working with the seven rhythms of the Meditation. Based on personal experiences, he comes to the conclusion that the rhythms are an expression of the members of the human constitution, with the 'we' in the fifth rhythm having the quality of 'Spirit-self'. The second part of the book considers the same 'we' from a karmic perspective, with reference to Rudolf Steiner's karma lectures, events in the fourth and ninth centuries, the mystery of death and evil, and the restoration of karmic truth.Table of ContentsPreface Part One Individuation and the Social Need of our Time The Rhythms of the Foundation Stone and the Members of the Human Constitution 'We' As an Expression of Spirit Self Quality Part Two Rules and Exceptions in Karmic Relationships Events in the Ninth Century Events in the Fourth Century The Mystery of Death and Evil The Second Crucifixion and Resurrection A Free-will Deed Restoring the Truth of Karma The Foundation Stone Meditation Rudolf Steiner's Blackboard Drawings Notes Bibliography of books by Rudolf Steiner

Rowman & Littlefield The Greatest Escape
Book SynopsisThe Greatest Escape: A True American Civil War Adventure tells the story of the largest prison breakout in U.S. history. It took place during the Civil War, when more than 1200 Yankee officers were jammed into Libby, a special prison considered escape-proof, in the Confederate capitol of Richmond, Virginia. A small group of men, obsessed with escape, mapped out an elaborate plan and one cold and clear night, 109 men dug their way to freedom. Freezing, starving, clad in rags, they had to still travel 40 miles to Yankee lines and safety. They were pursued by all the white people in the area, but every Black person they encountered was their friend. In every instance, slaves risked their lives to help these Yankees, and their journey was aided by a female-led Union spy network.Since all the escapees were officers, they all could read and write well. Over 50 of them would publish riveting accounts of their adventures. This is the f

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC The Swiss at War 13001500
Book SynopsisDuring the 14th and 15th centuries military tactics in Europe underwent a period of sustained transformation of which the outcome was the rejuvenation of the footsoldier as the major tactical unit. One nation alone stands principally responsible for this development the Swiss Confederation. For centuries the mounted knights had ''ridden roughshod over the populations of Europe''. It was in the Swiss halberdier and later the pikeman that the mounted men-at-arms were to meet their match. This absorbing text by Douglas Miller provides an account of rise of the Swiss army to its tactical zenith, beginning with the classic encounter at Morgarten.Table of ContentsIntroduction · Organization · Tactics and Campaigns · The Burgundian Wars · The Plates
