In this collection of meditations, Steiner helps us discover a renewed sense of our true place in the cosmos. The verses show how we can learn to know ourselves by looking outwards to the substances and processes at work in the cosmos; and know the world by looking inwards to the microcosmic depths of the human self. By integrating spirit and matter within, we can also heal divisions in our relationships with others. For modern people, these verses help to unfold a world of interconnections.
