This was his attempt to create a \"Society for a Theosophical Art and Way of Life\" that would work \"under the protectorate of Christian Rosenkreutz.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSteiner envisioned a collection of individuals who were \"deeply moved by a spiritual power like the one that lived earlier in Christianity.\" By forming such a Society, he tried to enable a true spiritual culture to arise on Earth--a culture that would \"engender artists in every domain of life.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVirginia Sease's reflections--a century after Steiner's attempt--emphasize especially three considerations. First, that the \"endowment impulse\" would allow us to experience the art of \"interpreting\" in the Rosicrucian way; second, that the best initiative--even one undertaken by a great individuality--is doomed to failure if the participants cannot overcome their personal ambitions; and third, that we may live with the fact that, despite the passage of time, the latent seeds in Steiner's attempt still have the possibility to reach fruition in the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Temple Lodge Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/18\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781906999407\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.40d","brand":"Virginia Sease","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44776037449909,"sku":"9781906999407","price":21.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_16625411-4cd4-4a1f-b4cb-bd5e0b13f22b.jpg?v=1730821756","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/rudolf-steiners-endowment-centenary-reflections-on-his-attempt-for-a-theosophical-art-and-way-of-life-15-december-1911-9781906999407","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
