Europe Between East and West.
In Cosmic and Human History
In this wide-ranging series of lectures, Rudolf Steiner sheds new light on the spiritual background to the outbreak of World War I in Europe. Spiritual entities stand behind the various peoples of the world, he says, and describes how those beings—“folk souls”—relate to the cultural diversity of Europe, America, and the East, speaking of their unique tasks and destinies in relation to the deeper causes of the catastrophic war. Central Europe has the special mission of mediating among the Western world, the Slavic countries, and, by extension, the East. Steiner alleges that Western secret societies consciously suppressed the spiritual life of this central cultural region through malign activities. These same brotherhoods also exploited H. P. Blavatsky’s occult faculties for their own ends.
