The Karma of Untruthfulness: v. 1 | Free Book
Secret Societies, the Media, and Preparations for the Great War
Although these lectures were given during 1916, they have much to
teach us about the political spin, media distortions, propaganda and
downright lies we encounter on a daily basis in public life. Rudolf
Steiner's calm and methodological approach penetrates the smokescreen
of accusations and counterclaims, of illusion and untruth, surrounding
the Great War. Hiding behind this fog, and under the guise of outer
events, he reveals the true spiritual struggle that is taking place.
His words give a deeper understanding of the politics and world
conflicts that confront us today through the filter of the media.In
the midst of the turmoil of the First World War, Steiner speaks out
courageously against the hatred and untruthfulness in the propaganda
of the time. From his detailed research into the spiritual impulses of
human evolution, he describes the dominant role secret brotherhoods
played in the events culminating in the cataclysmic war, and warns
that the retarding forces of nationalism must be overcome if Europe is
to find its new destiny. He also emphasizes the urgent need for new
social structures if further catastrophes are to be avoided.At a time
when political events throughout the world are moving with breathless
rapidity, the reader will find much in these lectures that will
illuminate what lies behind the symptoms of our turbulent times.This
new edition, reproduced in a larger format, is put in a modern context
and introduced by Terry Boardman.
