Living with the Dead : Meditations for Maintaining a Connection to Those Who Have Died

As a spiritual teacher Rudolf Steiner wrote many beautifully formed and inspired verses.

Often they were given in relation to specific situations or in response to individual requests; sometimes they were created for general use in assisting the process of meditation.

Regardless of their origins, they are uniformly powerful in their ability to connect the meditant with spiritual archetypes and realities, and are valuable tools for developing experience and knowledge of other dimensions.

Matthew Barton has delicately translated these meditations into English, many for the first time, and arranged them thematically in this outstanding new series. In this collection of meditations for maintaining a connection to those who have died, Rudolf Steiner offers hope and consolation to the bereaved.

He offers words of wisdom on death and its deeper, spiritual meaning, and then provides verses that stress the continued links between the living and the dead.

He shows how our thoughts can help those who have departed earthly life.

Finally, he includes poems that express something of what those who have died experience in their new existence.
