"Resolutions and Sacrifice" - Episode 6 in the series, “The Many Crowns of the Royal Self”

In this episode, we discuss the next activity recommended by Rudolf Steiner as a counterbalance to that which divides us (see Chapter 5, “How to Know Higher Worlds”). Now we enter into the realm of the human will in relation to the world around us. First, can we become individuals capable of setting resolutions and following through on them? Next, what are our deeper motivations as we hope for success in these endeavors? Rudolf Steiner states simply and profoundly that love for the activity itself is the the only motive that truly matters in the face of the spiritual world.
