Bücher von Harrie Salman

At the beginning of the twentieth century, two great spiritual teachers stepped forward into public life in Europe. They were the heralds of a new culture: the Austrian Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925), founder of the Anthroposophical Movement, and the Bulgarian Peter Deunov (1864-1944), founder of the School of the White Brotherhood. They taught inner development based on the universal values of humanity. Their teachings stood in the tradition of esoteric Christianity-the Christianity of the inner path. Rudolf Steiner and Peter Deunov brought inspiration for a future global culture of love and brotherhood. This book follows in their footsteps, showing that, with their help and guidance, the time has come to transform today's one-sided intellectual and materialistic culture into a culture that combines the intellectual with the spiritual."Harrie Salman's meticulously researched double biography of Rudolf Steiner and Peter Deunov reveals how, at the very advent of the Satya Yuga, humanity's task of cultivating Wisdom (as developed in Rudolf Steiner's Anthroposophy) and Love (as reflected in Peter Deunov's concept of The Chain of Divine Love) is illustrated by the lives and teachings of these two great spiritual teachers. Studying the twentieth century's supreme pioneers of these two paths, we find inspiration and guidance to harmonize Wisdom and Love in ourselves."-Robert Powell, author of Cultivating Inner Radiance and the Body of Immortality, etc."The book tells the parallel stories of two true spiritual masters, Rudolf Steiner and Peter Deunov, whose lives coincided with a time of severe crisis in human evolution. Both re-enlivened Christian esotericism, leaving the mark of their unique individualities in their respective cultural settings. This theme, till now sequestered in a modest niche of spiritual practitioners, is finally available to a wide audience in the English-speaking world. We can only say 'Godspeed!'"-Joel M. Park, Camphill Academy"This book is highly recommended to all people interested in spirituality."-Steffen Hartmann, author of The Michael Prophecy and the Years 2012-2033, etc."This remarkable book perfectly meets the Zeitgeist of our time, providing insight into the missions of two of the most influential initiators of esoteric Christianity in the 20th century-missions still being carried on and expanded by committed people toward the shared goal of further illuminating the conditions and the path of the ascension of our beloved planet Earth, as well as of the human soul. It bestows hope, strength, and faith in the Good. It encourages an irrepressible feeling of connectedness in the spirit of the radiant Christ Sun."-Sabrina Wendtner, Roza Mira Foundation

Zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts erschienen in Europa zwei große Geisteslehrer. Sie sind die Herolde einer neuen Kultur, mit der sich jeder verbinden kann, der einen inneren Verwandlungsprozess durchlaufen möchte. Es waren der Österreicher Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925), der Begründer der anthroposophischen Bewegung, und der Bulgare Peter Deunov (1864-1944), der Gründer der Schule der Weißen Bruderschaft. Sie sind Lehrer für die innere Entwicklung des Menschen, die sich auf die universellen Werte der Menschheit gründet. Ihre Lehren stehen in der Tradition des esoterischen Christentums, des Christentums des inneren Weges.Rudolf Steiner und Peter Deunov brachten Inspirationen für eine zukünftige globale Kultur der Liebe und Brüderlichkeit. Das Buch geht ihren Spuren nach und zeigt, dass mit ihrem Erscheinen die Zeit angebrochen ist, die heutige einseitig intellektuelle und materialistische Kultur zu verwandeln in eine Kultur, die das Intellektuelle mit dem Spirituellen verbindet.

In zwei Teilen entwirft der Autor einen gut über­schaubaren Überblick über Tombergs Leben und Bedeutung sowie über seine Beziehung zur platonischen Strömung, wobei er insbesondere auch die Schwierigkeiten und Auseinan­derset­zungen behandelt, auf die Tomberg in der Anthro­poso­phischen Gesellschaft traf. Zudem zeichnet er eine mögliche Zukunftsperspektive.Zu Valentin Tombergs Leben, Werk und Wirkung hat der Novalis Verlag in den Jahren 2000 bis 2016 eine umfangreiche vierbändige Edition herausgegeben, die der Beschäftigung und Auseinandersetzung mit diesem umstrittenen Autor neue Quellen erschloss und seitdem als wissenschaftliche Grundlage dient. Die vorliegende Schrift berücksichtigt neue Dokumentfunde und Forschungsergebnisse und soll Tombergs Leben und Bedeutung einem breiteren Publikum zugänglich machen.
