THE LECTURES:

1. The conflict between the materialistic and the spiritual tendencies in thought and feeling. The God-willed and the God-estranged human being. The training of thinking to Wonder, Veneration and Harmony with the Universe.
2. Surrender to the course of the world. Ruling Will in the Sense-world, Ruling Wisdom in the World of Arising and Passing away. The Good as creative principle, the Bad as death-bringing principle.
3. Mysteries of Life. Disturbance of balance through the existing incision. The irregular connection of the four members of man's nature.
4. The experience of matter in Space and of the soul in Time. Configuration and movement of soul-life in unspatial formations. The arising of space from shattered Form and of matter from out-spraying Spirit.
5. The double nature of man. Out-spraying form and radiating substance. The mystery of their incorporation into the Cosmos: the technique of Karma. The lighting-up of the spiritual through the destruction of the material. Blood is a special fluid.
6. Becoming and dying away. The seven planetary spheres and their central point. The working of the environment on the whole man. The end of Philosophy as a science of ideas. The spiritual inbreathing and outbreathing process.
