9 lectures, various cities, Jan. 25 - July 20 1924 (CWs 235, 236, 240)

During 1924, just before his final address in September, Rudolf Steiner delivered more than eighty lectures on the subject of karma to members of the Anthroposophical Society. These profoundly esoteric lectures examine the underlying laws inherent in reincarnation and karma, and explore in detail the incarnations of specific historical figures. In Rudolf Steiner's words, the study of karma is "a matter of penetrating the most profound mysteries of existence, for within the sphere of karma and the course it takes lie those processes which are the basis of the other phenomena of world existence."

The main topics of the final three lectures in this volume discuss "The Karma of the Anthroposophical Society and Content of the AnthroposophicL Movement."

This volume is a translation of lectures from three volumes in German: Esoterische Betrachtungen karmischer Zusammenhänge, in 6 Bdn., Bd.1 (GA 235); Esoterische Betrachtungen karmischer Zusammenhänge, in 6 Bdn., Bd.2 (GA 236); Esoterische Betrachtungen karmischer Zusammenhänge, in 6 Bdn., Bd.6 (GA 240).
