Not from the past
In the grey summer garden I shall find you
With day-break and the morning hills behind you.
There will be rain-wet roses; stir of wings;
And down the wood a thrush that wakes and sings.
Not from the past you'll come, but from that deep
Where beauty murmurs to the soul asleep:
And I shall know the sense of life re-born
From dreams into the mystery of morn
Where gloom and brightness meet. And standing there
Till that calm song is done, at last we'll share
The league-spread, quiring symphonies that are
Joy in the world, and peace, and dawn’s one star.
—Siegfried Sassoon, "Idyll"

Harmony, the Heartbeat of Creation
The Convergence of Ancient Wisdom and Quantum Physics in the Triune Pulse of Nature’s Forms
Monique Pommier
Starting from the compelling hints at a universal order presented by recurrent numbers and geometries in nature and cosmos, the author penetrates into the cosmological processes that result in the physical forms we see and the forms of consciousness we are. Harmonies play out these forms, and the laws of harmony reveal the fundamental triune dynamics of all living systems. READ MORE
The Fourth Dimension
Sacred Geometry, Alchemy, & Mathematics
Rudolf Steiner
The point, line, plane and solid objects represent the first three dimensions, but a kind of reversal of space is involved in the ascent to a fourth dimension. Steiner leads us to the brink of this new perspective—as nearly as it can be done with words, diagrams, analogies, and examples of many kinds.
Plato Prehistorian
Myth, Religion, Archeology
Mary Settegast
Mary Settegast takes us from the cave paintings of Lascaux to the shrines of Çatalhöyük, demonstrating correspondences both to Plato’s tale of two ancient civilizations and to the mystery religions of antiquity. This new edition features an appendix on the recent excavations at Göbekli Tepe in southeastern Turkey, which have upended the conventional view of the rise of civilization. READ MORE
Beauty, Memory, Unity
A Theory of Proportion in Architecture
Steve Bass
Ancient architects and artists had a way of striking resonant chords in those who viewed their work. However, this skill seems to have disappeared. Beauty, Memory, Unity points toward a possibility of regaining a new sense of unity in the visual arts through a combination of theoretical ideas and practical methods, of narrative description and visual exercises.
From the Collected Works of Rudolf Steiner
Architecture, Sculpture, and Painting of the First Goetheanum
9 lectures in various cities, April 1915–June 1920 (CW 288)
READ MORE
In Austria (which however already bore the seed of its own destruction; already in its political system it bore the seeds of its own destruction) there were a few, isolated Goetheans, as Dr. Kolisko characterized them a few days ago. Then: that’s it! A lid was placed on everything that once was there. And now it lies with humanity as a whole whether the same fate that has befallen Goetheanism should now happen to the whole of European culture and its American legacy. You may not want to believe it, but the question is put to humanity today: Do you want something new, or do you want the same destiny for the whole of European culture as for Goetheanism? We have to ask today: How many people are able to rise up to this problem? How many people feel just how serious it is today, that it’s really about the being or not-being of contemporary civilization?
This building wanted to be nothing other than a living expression of that—the continuation of what European culture has achieved—this continuation should live, not die!
—Rudolf Steiner, from a lecture of April 5, 1920, in
