But for Steiner the macrocosm is more than just the physical universe. It includes many hidden realms--including the world of elements and the world of archetypes--that lie behind outer manifestations such as our physical body. The macrocosm works within us continuously--in the daily rhythm of sleeping and waking and in the great cyclical interchange between incarnation on Earth and our time between death and rebirth. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSteiner discusses various paths of self-development that lead across the threshold to spiritual dimensions, transforming human soul forces into organs of higher perception. In the future, we will even have the capacity to evolve a form of thinking that is higher than the intellect--thinking of the heart.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this classic series of lectures--now retranslated and featuring a previously unavailable public address--Rudolf Steiner discusses the planets and their connection with our sleeping and waking life; the inner path of the mystic; the \"greater\" and \"lesser\" guardians of the threshold; the Egyptian mysteries of Osiris and Isis; initiation in the Northern mysteries; the four spheres of the higher worlds; mirror images of the macrocosm in humankind; the strengthening powers of sleep; the symbol of the Rose Cross; reading the akashic record; four-dimensional space; the development of future human capacities, and much more. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis volume includes an introduction, notes, and index.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMacrocosm and Microcosm\u003c\/i\u003e is a translation from German of \u003ci\u003eMakrokosmos und Mikrokosmos.
