Biography: Freedom and Destiny | Free Book
Enlightening the Path of Human Life
The path of an individual human life - our biography - is something of
a mystery. Despite the abundance of published biographies and
autobiographies of celebrities and historical figures, the scientific
study of human biography remains in its infancy, with little
understanding of the inherent laws in the path of an individual's
life. Yet as Rudolf Steiner shows here, every biography, regardless of
the individual's fame, perceived importance or outer success, is ruled
by archetypal influences, patterns and laws. This broad-ranging
anthology addresses some critical and as yet unanswered questions:
What effects do education - and in particular contrasting education
methods - have on later life? How do the various periods of life
relate to each other? Do the effects of events on the individual
become evident immediately, or is their true impact delayed - perhaps
by decades? To what extent can an individual shape the stages of his
or her biography? How much freedom of choice do we have, and how much
of life is predetermined? Out of the higher knowledge Rudolf Steiner
acquired from his spiritual research, he described the human
individuality as a being with a continuing existence - before birth
and beyond death. This eternal being experiences many varied
conditions and situations, the effects of which are observable in our
biography. This book addresses these and other issues such as freedom
and destiny, the effects of heredity, illness, and the impact of
education, offering answers based on a profound knowledge of the human
being.
