{"product_id":"reverse-ritual-spiritual-knowledge-is-true-communion","title":"Reverse Ritual: Spiritual Knowledge Is True Communion","description":"“Perception of the idea within the actual is the true communion of the human being” ―Goethe\nReligious ritual is often seen as a way of bringing divine influences down into the material world. In this profound and stimulating work, Rudolf Steiner and Friedrich Benesch introduce the idea of “reverse ritual”―a way that each of us can raise our souls to the spiritual realm.\nIn this process, the everyday world becomes a portal through which we can enter the dimension of the sacred. Here, each of us can be a “priest,” and each of our actions can be a cosmic, ritual act.\nThis stimulating collection of writings on spiritual communion of humanity includes two further lectures by Steiner that show how this process can engage our social lives. Also included are two additional essays as appendices: “Sacramental and Spiritual Communion” by Dietrich Asten and “Human Encounters and Karma” by Athys Floride.\nThe introduction by Christopher Schaefer brings these ideas into focus for modern seekers.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0880104872\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0880104872.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Steiner, Rudolf|Benesch, Friedrich|Knausenberger, Eva|Schaefer, Christopher|Lipson PhD, Michael|Asten, Dietrich|Floride, Athys\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Pages are clean with no markings.
