Mystery Streams in Europe and the New Mysteries by Bernard Lievegoed

This book shows how the four great mystery streams have worked in the past and how Steiner attempted to join these four together and create the new mysteries at the Christmas Foundation Meeting of 1923-24.  Lievegoed delivered this information to the Dutch Anthroposophical Society as study material in preparation for a conference on the Christmas Foundation Meeting of 1923-24.

Bernard Lievegoed—psychiatrist, educator, and anthroposophist—brought half a century of clinical practice, studious observation, and personal insight into the writing of this book. His overview of the course of human life and vocation, of male-female relationships, and of the sometimes-misleading picture of the human being presented by the various psychologies, have made this book essential reading for all those interested in acquiring a deeper understanding of life’s mysteries.
