Emil Bock lectured widely on Rudolf Steiner after World War Two, and
during the course of his research he uncovered many previously unknown
aspects of Steiner's life. This book, the second of two volumes,
explores some of the themes and ideas in Steiner's work, as well as
exploring the nature of destiny.
The early years of Jesus, the Christmas festival and the break from the
Theosophical Society to the Anthroposophical Society are just some of
the many themes and events covered in this comprehensive study. Bock
also examines the circle of people around Steiner at this time and,
using Steiner's ideas on karma and reincarnation, draws interesting
parallels with Rome, Byzantium, Ephesus and the Grail Castle.
