It is important to be clear about the path we want to take and the goals of development we are looking to achieve where there is the aspiration to make life worth living. On the grounds of the present objective and what has been achieved, a person will always be able to track their progress towards these goals.The constant striving for the basic necessities of life keeps the person absorbed and teaches him to mature in the face of resistance. In the multiplicity of endeavours there is a blessing, since life remains in flow, fends off stagnation and maintains itself thereby. However, considerations made on the basis of observable events leave us with regret that these perceptions deal only with the forms – the human environment. Few of them deal…

At some time during life everyone has to battle with negative thoughts which in especially tragic circumstances may even lead to self-destruction. This is likely to be true of anybody who has not recognised the meaning of existence here on earth, simply because he has never exerted himself thoroughly to investigate the ‘value and meaning’ of human experiences. For such a person the ‘blows of fate’ which afflict him become overwhelming obstacles. The perpetual necessity of having to exert oneself and the many unpleasantnesses, illnesses and apparently insurmountable setbacks overpower his tormented soul, until he seeks a way out of what he imagines to be a hopeless situation by deciding to take his own life. Far more people than is realised suffer from the fear of life through the above…

It starts already in the morning on the tram, on the train or on the bus: inconsiderate and discourteous people, hounded people, irritable people, jammed entrances and exits, overcrowding, standing-room only. Motorists and cyclists have similar experiences on the way to work: inconsiderate and unfocused drivers, pedestrians rushing across the street with their eyes glued to their smartphones, oblivious of their surroundings or scurrying around in haste like headless chickens, diversions, detours and congested roads with one red light after another in a seemingly endless procession. Such are the preludes to the working day in an urban metropolis. However, in spite of this, you do get through to the office in one piece and now your work begins. As you survey the masses of work waiting for you, you pick…

It has become increasingly obvious to a person still capable of deeper reflection, that today, through the dominance of materialism and intellectualism, the entire emotional life of humans is languishing and gradually withering away. The emotional life may be understood in terms of the totality of all feelings, which, beginning with the simple physical sensory perceptions, rise in a great arch to the high, purely spiritual intuitive perceptions. The use of language does not always distinguish sharply enough between the two and the expressions ‘sensation’ and ‘feeling’ are often used synonymously. The entire emotional life is integrated into the great trinity of the content of our consciousness towards our thinking and volition. Thus thinking, feeling and willing make up our total consciousness. The big question here is in what order…

THE THREE VOLUMES of In the Light of Truth contain a total of 168 lectures whose contents, building upon one another, give a picture of Creation in entirety. The Author’s all-embracing view is based on well-known natural laws, which reveal the hidden connections of our existence and offer valuable guidance for the journey through life.

The Work In the Light of Truth is known throughout the world for its conclusive answers to the great questions of humanity, such as the meaning of life, justice, fate and why we live after death. Written originally in German, it is…
