Luciferic Verses

In the West today, Laozi -- who lived sometime between the 6th and 4th centuries BC -- is one of the best known ancient Chinese philosophers, owing to numerous modern renderings of his Daodejing (or Tao Te Ching).

Eric Cunningham relates the substance of Laozi's classic work to modern philosophers and thinkers, in particular the work of Rudolf Steiner. Cunningham draws significant and surprising parallels and contrasts about Steiner's modern path of inner development and aspects of popular culture. In doing so, he also sheds light on the evolution of consciousness and the universality of Laozi's ancient wisdom.

The Luciferic Verses offers fresh perspectives on Laozi's classic guide to life and inner development, describing its relevance and meaning for today?s cultural milieu and modern esoteric thought.
