Disease, Karma, and Healing: Spiritual-Scientific Enquiries into the Nature of the Human Being (CW 107) (The Collected Works of Rudolf Steiner, 107)

18 lectures, Berlin, 1908â€“1909 (CW 107)

According to Rudolf Steiner, illness comes to expression in the physical body, but mostly does not originate in it. Thus, a key to the physicianâ€™s work is gaining insight into the whole natureâ€•the essential core beingâ€•of an individual. Throughout this lecture course, Steiner draws our attention to the greater scope of the smallest phenomenaâ€•even a seemingly insignificant headache. He sheds light on things we normally take for granted, such as the human capacity to laugh or cry. In the process, he broadens our vision of human existence. Moreover, â€œmundaneâ€ human experiences of forgetting and remembering are intrinsic to our humanity and have unsuspected moral and spiritual dimensions.

In these eighteen lectures, given weekly as part of an ongoing course on â€œthe whole field of spiritual science,â€ Steiner elaborates in detail on the diverse interplay of the human constitution (the physical, etheric, and astral bodies and the â€œIâ€) in relation to rhythmic processes, developing consciousness, the history of human evolution, and our connection with the cosmos. Within this broad canvas, some of his themes acquire a very distinctive focus, including vivid accounts of the â€œintimate historyâ€ of Christianity, creating from â€œnothing,â€ the interior of the Earth, and health and illness.

Other topics include the nature of pain, suffering, pleasure, and bliss; the four human group souls of lion, bull, eagle, and humankind; the significance of the Ten Commandments; the nature of original sin; the deed of Christ and the adversarial powers of Lucifer, Ahriman, and the Asuras; evolution and involution; the Atlantean period; and even Nietzscheâ€™s final state of madness.
