Rudolf Steiner

Four Mystery Dramas Rudolf Steiner Revised edition

Rudolf Steiner's four mystery dramas are powerful portrayals of the complex laws of reincarnation and karma. They transport us into a landscape of the human soul and spirit, where suprasensory beings are active.
Through the perception of these hidden worlds, we are given the opportunity to understand the struggles we face in attempting to apply spiritual knowledge to our everyday lives and relationships.

Written between 1910 and 1913 during periods of intense inner and outer work, these dramas are powerful testimonies to Rudolf Steiner's artistic creativity. By manifesting soul and spirit forms on a stage, they foreshadow a dramatic art for the future.

THE FOUR PLAYS: ''The Portal of Initiation'' (1910); ''The Trial of the Soul'' (1911); ''The Guardian of the Threshold'' (1912); and ''The Souls' Awakening'' (1913). Newly revised translation (CW 14).
