Dyed in the biodynamic wool



“Mystery of the Universe” (previously known as “Man: Hieroglyph of the Universe”) is a collection of lectures by Rudolf Steiner given in Dornach, Switzerland in 1920. Unfortunately, this is vintage late Steiner: rambling, occasionally incoherent, sometimes bizarre even by Steinerite standards. It's one of those lecture cycles where Steiner attempts to cover pretty much everything under the sun (or is it Old Saturn). The nominal theme is the connection between the microcosm and macrocosm in man. I admit that I stopped reading it pretty quickly, and only skimmed the material. Probably useful only to die-hard (or dyed-in-the-biodynamic-wool) Anthroposophists...
