73. “The Story of the Year”

GA 34/73_the_story_of_the_year/p005 · English MediumMedium alignmentSome paragraph re-numbering between this translation and the German original — the locus may slip by a paragraph or two.

The book describes the process of human development from the moment when a person awakens to the ability to look into the karmic chains of their own soul until the moment when the higher self, the Christ, awakens, which has now transformed a child into a companion of divine beings. For it corresponds to the first moment of Christmas and what precedes it, and to the second, Easter. Those who can witness what is happening in the heavens during this time know the most important occult secrets. And those who awaken the right feelings within themselves at the appropriate times, as prescribed by the Büchelchen, prepare themselves to experience such secrets. If you take this booklet, live by it for a year and a second year and so on, in the sense that the instructions for attaining higher knowledge in the secret schools indicate, you will already perceive astral and mental, and the day will come when you will do so with full consciousness.
