At the beginning of the twentieth century, two great spiritual teachers stepped forward into public life in Europe. They were the heralds of a new culture: the Austrian Rudolf Steiner (1861–1925), founder of the Anthroposophical Movement, and the Bulgarian Peter Deunov (1864–1944), founder of the School of the White Brotherhood. They taught inner development based on the universal values of humanity. Their teachings stood in the tradition of esoteric Christianity—the Christianity of the inner path. Rudolf Steiner and Peter Deunov brought inspiration for a future global culture of love and brotherhood. This book follows in their footsteps, showing that, with their help and guidance, the time has come to transform today’s one-sided intellectual and materialistic culture into a culture that combines the intellectual with the spiritual.\n“Harrie Salman’s meticulously researched double biography of Rudolf Steiner and Peter Deunov reveals how, at the very advent of the Satya Yuga, humanity’s task of cultivating Wisdom (as developed in Rudolf Steiner’s Anthroposophy) and Love (as reflected in Peter Deunov’s concept of The Chain of Divine Love) is illustrated by the lives and teachings of these two great spiritual teachers. Studying the twentieth century’s supreme pioneers of these two paths, we find inspiration and guidance to harmonize Wisdom and Love in ourselves.”—Robert Powell, author of Cultivating Inner Radiance and the Body of Immortality, etc. 
“The book tells the parallel stories of two true spiritual masters, Rudolf Steiner and Peter Deunov, whose lives coincided with a time of severe crisis in human evolution. Both re-enlivened Christian esotericism, leaving the mark of their unique individualities in their respective cultural settings. This theme, till now sequestered in a modest niche of spiritual practitioners, is finally available to a wide audience in the English-speaking world. We can only say ‘Godspeed!’”—Joel M. Park, Camphill Academy\n“This remarkable book perfectly meets the Zeitgeist of our time, providing insight into the missions of two of the most influential initiators of esoteric Christianity in the 20th century—missions still being carried on and expanded by committed people toward the shared goal of further illuminating the conditions and the path of the ascension of our beloved planet Earth, as well as of the human soul. It bestows hope, strength, and faith in the Good. It encourages an irrepressible feeling of connectedness in the spirit of the radiant Christ Sun.”—Sabrina Wendtner, Roza Mira Foundation

Valentin Tomberg and the Ecclesia Universalis: A Biography

In his teens and twenties, Russian-born Valentin Tomberg (1900–1973) was already exploring not only the Orthodox influences in his home city of St. Petersburg, but also such currents as those of Theosophy, Anthroposophy, Kabbalism, and Hermeticism. In his thirties, he emerged as a leading anthroposophical researcher. As an emigré from revolutionary Russia, he went first to Estonia, then to Holland, where his work bore increasingly the imprint of the stream of Platonism. During the years 1940–1943, Tomberg worked with a small group unveiling ever deeper layers of the Our Father prayer. When the Nazi occupation brought this work to an end, he turned increasingly to the subjects of jurisprudence and the Hermetic tradition. During this period, he joined the Catholic Church. There followed his intense work on “Christian Hermeticism,” displayed in his masterwork, Meditations on the Tarot: A Journey into Christian Hermeticism. Tomberg’s works raised controversies: in particular, fundamental questions regarding the relationship between Anthroposophy and the Catholic Church. This long overdue biography finally illuminates thematically and historically Tomberg’s pivotal significance in a developing Christian culture—an Ecclesia universalis—in which he discerned the guiding impulses of the Archangel Michael and the Divine Sophia.\n“Harrie Salman has here united the ‘gold’ of his loving respect for Valentin Tomberg with the ‘silver’ of a truly objective overview of his life story.”— Joel M. Park, Sophia Foundation\n“Valentin Tomberg’s writings leave the impression of a towering figure in the landscape of 20th-century spirituality. Who was this man, so profound a thinker and mystic yet so ordinary and unassuming; and why so beset by controversy? We need wonder no longer, with Harrie Salman’s rich biography of Tomberg in hand.”— Sam Guzman, The Way of the Heart (substack blog)\n“Here is unveiled the fascinating story of Valentin Tomberg, a man of deep contemplation and immense erudition, whose writings bring his readers endless wisdom and inspiration.”— Karen L. Rivers, Love and the Evolution of Consciousness: a Study of the Transformation of the Human Soul, the Double, and the Spirit\n“At last, a comprehensive biography of Valentin Tomberg, one of the most important Christian thinkers in the history of Sophiology.”— Michael Martin, Sophia in Exile, etc.\n“As so little is known about his outstanding capacity as a teacher of humanity, it is a great gift to the world that Harrie Salman has written a comprehensive biography of Valentin Tomberg, now published in English translation.”— Robert Powell, translator of Meditations on the Tarot: A Journey into Christian Hermeticism; author of many works.

This new and compelling book by Harrie Salman is a manifesto in which he analyzes the ills of our times, calls out those persons and institutions he sees as responsible for those ills, and issues a call to action. He addresses that call to action to all of us who believe that individuals and groups working together can renew and liberate our society. He calls on us to become fully human and enrich our social lives―impoverished by the lockdowns of what he calls "the health dictatorship"―from the bottom up, with inspiration from the Divine. It is a noble call, and Harrie is quite aware that the tasks he outlines will not be easily accomplished.\nToday, however, to take a stand for humanity is nothing less than a radical act of rebellion, of defiance, against a veritable blitzkrieg of dehumanizing technologies that are assaulting all human beings―in body, soul, mind and, most of all, spirit. From synthetic biology to geoengineering to universal covert and overt surveillance of everyone and everything, we human beings, all around the globe, are moving, like it or not, into a very Brave New World.\nHarrie Salman presents a way out of a tragically polarized situation, in which people find themselves on one side or another believing that those on the other side have been "brainwashed." He coolly and succinctly identifies the pieces of the puzzle and puts them together in a coherent pattern that anyone, of any political persuasion, can recognize. –From the Preface by Ed Conroy

Product Description We can be inspired by spiritual beings in social life. How does this come about? People used to receive such inspiration in places known as "mystery centers," where contact with spiritual beings took place through initiation. This was a process wherein the individual received training that would open the so-called organs of perception, or chakras. In his latest book, The Social World as Mystery Center, Dutch philosopher Harrie Salman outlines the steps a person must take in his or her development to enhance social life. In a time of extreme polarization, Salman explains that we need to meet others with great warmth. We must resist the temptation to force our opinions on those who cling to already-thought thoughts and demand that others think, speak and act the way they do. People need to come together and support each other. Encounters must be met with genuine love for the other. In this book Salman guides us through steps we can take to build communities and cooperate with others as we travel together on a new path.
