On the Mystery of the Ego and the Appearance in the Present Day of
Egoless Individuals
'That in our times a kind of supernumerary person is appearing who is
egoless, who in reality is not a human being, is a terrible truth.' –
Rudolf SteinerAre there people on earth today who do not have a self –
a human ego or 'I'? The phenomenon of 'egolessness' – the absence of a
human being's core – was discussed by the spiritual teacher Rudolf
Steiner in lectures and personal conversations. An egoless individual,
he intimated, is an empty sheath through which other spiritual
entities could operate. Erdmuth J. Grosse brings together many
little-known quotations from Rudolf Steiner's spiritual research and
supports them with a wealth of disquieting reports, testimonies and
examples from literature and politics. He places these insights within
the broader context of the riddle of the human self, throwing light on
the spiritual development of the individual and humanity as a whole.In
this thought-provoking study, Grosse goes on to discuss the role of
comets, the effects of cyanide on the human constitution – especially
in the light of the Holocaust – and the hidden effects of ceremonial
magic, occult lodges, cults and sects. In conclusion, he offers
positive solutions to humanity's present predicament by describing the
healing impulses of social threefolding, the invisible spiritual
beings seeking to help humanity, the role of the gods, the Christ
impulse and the true goals of human evolution.
