Meditative reflection--strengthening thinking and feeling through the
will--is one of the main methods of experiencing Anthroposophy.
Prokofieff writes:
"The best path to this goal is inner work with the Foundation Stone
Meditation, because this meditation is the quintessence of the whole of
Anthroposophy, given in meditatively inspired form by means of earthly
words."
Rudolf Steiner described the substance of the "Foundation Stone
Meditation" as spoken by him "out of the will of the spiritual world,"
and as "verses heard from the Cosmic Word." Owing to its spiritual and
mantric form, the text of this meditation represents an archetype and is
thus a key to the most diverse areas of world and human existence.
Depending on "which spiritual portal is opened with this key," explains
Prokofieff, "one arrives at one result or another, and one and the same
line of the meditation becomes a reply to the most varied questions."
The author applies this method in this work and, in the process,
illuminates and opens up many dimensions of spiritual science. His
research embraces, among other aspects, the relationship of the
"Foundation Stone Meditation" to the being Anthroposophia, the
spiritual hierarchies, human karma, the Rosicrucian, Michaelic and Grail
streams, the Mystery of Golgotha, the two Jesus children, the three
spiritual sources of Anthroposophy, and even the Constitution of the
General Anthroposophical Society.
