C O N T E N T S: Introduction by Paul Marshall Allen (1959)Preface by Marie Steiner-von Sivers (1939) 1.
This is a key volume for understanding Rudolf Steiner\'s early development as a Theosophist and how his ideas, terminology, and formulations during that time fit into the development of his anthroposophic epistemology and Christology.
The reader is shown our human connection with the world around us as well as our highest goals and true destiny.
Through this discussion of our true origins, Cosmic Memory offers a genuine foundation for our lives, allowing us to realize our real value, dignity, and essence.
This spiritual research includes a profound investigation of the origins, achievements, and fate of the Atlanteans and Lemurians--the remarkable lost root races that developed the first concepts of good and evil, manipulated natural forces, laid the foundation for human legal and ethical systems, and defined and nurtured the distinctive yet complementary powers of men and women that brought humankind, many centuries ago, to its highest artistic, intellectual, and spiritual attainments. --Paul Marshall Allen In the best tradition of ancient wisdom literature, Cosmic Memory reconstructs, from the akashic record, events that span the time between the origin of the Earth and the beginning of recorded history.
Through a study of Steiner\'s writings, one can come to a clear, reasonable, comprehensive understanding of human beings and their place in the universe.
Knowledge of our exalted origins and of the path we have followed is indispensable if we are to evolve a future worthy of responsible human beings....
In human hands rests the freedom to shape the future course of creation.
As human beings have participated in the development of the world we know today, so their achievements are directly connected with the ultimate destiny of the universe.
