16, 1918 (CW 182)In our reflections on spiritual science, we come across much that we apparently cannot apply directly in our daily life, much that seems far removed from our everyday life.

In reality, however, what we learn about the mysteries of the spiritual world is always, in every hour and every moment, deeply significant for our soul.

What seems to us far removed from our personal concerns is at times very close to what our soul in its innermost core needs.

As far as the physical-sensory world in concerned, it is important that we become familiar with it and know what it contains.

Where the spiritual world is concerned, what matters primarily is to think through carefully for ourselves all the thoughts and imaginations that world offers us.

When we do this, these thoughts work in our soul, often without our being conscious of this.

What our soul is working on in this process may seem irrelevant for us, but in reality, it can be very important and exactly what is needed for the higher spheres of our soul.

--Rudolf Steiner The lectures in Death as Metamorphosis of Life address us in our soul life and speak to our hearts.

They make clear the bond that must unite our inner, spiritual work and the outer work of manifesting spirit in life.

For, if spiritual wisdom does not live and grow as a reality in the souls of those who practice it, then the practical wisdom of service called for by the spirit of the times will come to nothing.

The particular realities that Rudolf Steiner focuses on are twofold: working with the dead (and the spiritual hierarchies) and coming to know the Christ.

What these two have in common is that they are both Earth-centered.

They teach us the fundamental importance of everyday human destiny and earthly life--not just for humanity, but also for divinity and the cosmos.

We learn not only what the dead can teach us about the spiritual world and the working of the hierarchies, but als.
