Medicine at the Threshold of a New ConsciousnessDespite dramatic outer advances, medicine -- like many other disciplines -- has become prone to materialistic tendencies, viewing the human being as little more than a machine. Can a new science of healing, which takes into account soul and spirit realities, be developed in our time? In this collection of challenging lectures. Michaela Glockler speaks on themes related to the inner path of spiritual development, and its therapeutic task for the individual and the community She discusses the application of such inner work in outer action, reflecting on modern social and ethical issues such as organ transplants and the termination of pregnancy. In her considerations she gives a broad picture of human evolution and the development of the ancient mysteries, and their relation to medicine. |
