The Heart of Peace
Meditations
for courage and tranquillity
Collected verses and meditations by Rudolf Steiner
The Heart of Peace collection
of verses and meditations by Rudolf Steiner
highlights the balancing, harmonizing forces of the heart, which are
so much undervalued in our cerebral culture. The verses aim to
strengthen the heart by warming and enlivening our thought
processes, promoting genuine peace of mind; by drawing feeling into
the hidden depths of our will in order to help develop courage; by
nurturing a profound sense of peace within the heart; and by
promoting genuine goodwill towards others.
Together they provide a powerful and
wholesome antidote to the stresses and strains of modern life.

Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) called his spiritual philosophy
'anthroposophy', which he defined as 'the consciousness of one's
humanity', and the disciplined methods of studying this he termed
‘spiritual science’. As a highly developed clairvoyant and
spiritual initiate, he spoke from
his direct cognition of the spiritual world. However, he did not see
his work as religious or sectarian, but rather sought to found a
universal 'science of the spirit'.
His
many published works (written books and lectures) - which include
his research into the spiritual nature of the human being, the
evolution of the world and humanity, and methods of personal
development - invite readers to develop their own spiritual
faculties. He also provided indications for the renewal of many
human activities, including education - both general and special -
agriculture, medicine, economics, architecture, science, philosophy,
religion and the arts. He wrote some 30 books and delivered over
6000 lectures across Europe, and in 1924 founded the General
Anthroposophical Society which today has branches throughout the
world.
