'Mysticism' from this point of view is an inner process that can illuminate and transform--make transparent to their higher meaning--outer facts. The fragmented multiplicity of the 'dissected' world becomes thereby unified in \u003ci\u003emeaning\u003c\/i\u003e.\" -- \u003cb\u003eChristopher Bamford\u003c\/b\u003e (foreword)\u003cp\u003eThe mystics Steiner writes about in this book were early giants in the modern art of illumined self-knowledge. Their ways of seeing the world, God, and themselves foreshadowed all that we practice now in the best of meditation, both East and West. Here, you can read about their essential passion for unity, their practice of intensification of perception, and their ever-fresh insights into the process of knowing itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSteiner immerses us in the evolving stream of these eleven mystics who appeared in central Europe between the thirteenth and seventeenth centuries. They managed to resolve the conflict between inner perceptions and the new seeds of modern science and human individuality. Based on the lives of those mystics and on his own spiritual insight, Steiner shows how their ideas can illumine and preserve our true human nature today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRudolf Steiner ends his book with a quotation from the \u003ci\u003eCherubinic Wanderer, \u003c\/i\u003e a collection of sayings gathered by Angelus Silesius: \"Dear Friend, this is enough for now. If you wish to read more, go and become the writing and the essence yourself.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\"The present book, \u003ci\u003eMystics after Modernism\u003c\/i\u003e, is a fruit of Steiner's lecturing activity. The substance of it was contained in a series of lectures he gave in Berlin beginning just after Michaelmas in 1900 when he was thirty-nine. Steiner wrote later, 'By means of the ideas of the mystics from Meister Eckhart to Jacob Boehme, I found expression for the spiritual perceptions that, in reality, I decided to set forth. I then summarized the series of lectures in the book \u003ci\u003eMystics after Modernism\u003c\/i\u003e.'\" -- \u003cb\u003ePaul Marshall Allen\u003c\/b\u003e (afterword)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e Mystics after Modernism\u003c\/i\u003e is a translation from German of \u003ci\u003eDie Mystik im Aufgange des neuzeitlichen Geisteslebens und ihr Verhältnis zur modernen Weltanschauung\u003c\/i\u003e (GA 7), Rudolf Steiner Verlag, Dornach, 1993.
