‘In the case of a solar eclipse, the evil that has spread over the earth can be carried out into the cosmos to wreak more havoc there, whereas in the case of a lunar eclipse, people who absolutely want to be possessed by evil thoughts can receive them from the cosmos.’ In the first full translation of this lecture course, Rudolf Steiner implores his audience to recognize the connections between the material and spiritual worlds. Eclipses of the sun and moon, for example, are ‘forces at work in the universe, just like those we study today in the clinic or in the chemistry or physics laboratory’. Even everyday thinking can have a strong impact on the outer world. Materialistic thought, he says, can quite literally atomize our surroundings: ‘if all human beings start to think that everything has to be explained in terms of atoms… then the earth will actually turn into atoms… these false ideas create false realities…’ Steiner speaks of the ‘world of will’ as being three-dimensional, the ‘world of feeling’ as two-dimensional, and the ‘world of thinking’ as one-dimensional. The ego itself is dimensionless, and only inner, living thinking can grasp the spiritual-mental. He discusses key cultural figures such as Friedrich Nietzsche, Herman Grimm and Julian the Apostate, and introduces multiple additional topics, including the effect of planetary forces on humans; the healing impacts of metals and other substances; the revitalization of thinking through meditation and concentration; the effects of the separation of science, art and religion; and the necessary transition from philosophy to anthroposophy.

Excerpt from Theosophical Lectures and Answers to Theosophical Questions: Being a Part of the Transactions of the Convention of the American Section T. S. Chicago, 1907 I have chosen, as the title of the lecture tonight, Psych ism and Spirituality, words which are constantly mis used and confounded, one being used where the other should be employed. 'and I want, if I can tonight, in speaking to you of psychism and spirituality, to clearly define each, to clearly mark the difference between them, and to place it before you in a way that you will all be able to understand what should be meant when it is said a man is a psychic; what should be meant when it is said a man is a spiritual being. We may define each word in a sentence, and the difference between the conditions I shall endeavor to work out and make plain.
