"Steiner reveals here the deep spiritual connection of our modern epoch with Egypt and why it is important to study its civilization with its profound wisdom, its extraordinary knowledge of cosmic laws, and its myths, which are meaningful for us now. He goes into the experiences of the Egyptian initiations, facts of occult anatomy and physiology, the stages of evolution of the human form, and more, culminating with a lecture on Christ as the conqueror of matter." Parts included are as follows: 1. Spiritual connections between the culture-streams of ancient and modern times. 2. The reflection of cosmic events in the religious views of men. 3. The old initiation centers. The human form as the subject of meditation. 4. The experiences of initiation. The mysteries of the planets. The descent of the primeval Word. 5. The genesis of the trinity of sun, moon, and earth. Osiris and Typhon. 6. The influence of Osiris and Isis. Facts of occult anatomy and physiology. 7. Evolutionary events in the human organism up to the departure of the moon. Osiris and Isis as builders of the upper human form. 8. The stages of evolution of the human form. The expulsion of the animal beings. The four human types. 9. The influence of the sun and moon spirits, of the Isis and Osiris forces. The change in consciousness. The conquest of the physical plane. 10. Old myths as pictures of cosmic facts. Darkening of man's spiritual consciousness. The initiation principle of the mysteries. 11.
