Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world is curious about the bee. A little pollinating fairy with six legs, humble and discreet, her fervour fascinates and her wisdom intrigues. She does not have the silky fur of a baby seal nor the mischievous smile of a dolphin to make us melt and yet, she touches our hearts with a profundity that is difficult to describe. Her mysterious song sets off a particular resonance within the human being which extends beyond the mental and the emotional, a sort of soul resonance... What is this irresistible charm that she emanates? Where does it come from, this magic which seduces us? The media regularly draws our attention to threats facing the bees' well-being, awakening compassion and curiosity about them. A good portion of humanity is beginning to be aware that we are only part of a Whole, that our planet is a living being of whom we are the cells, and that all are interconnected with one another. The bee is one of the emblems of this enlarged perspective. We have come to realise that we are not individuals separated from each other and that each thought, each word, and each action has a repercussion on the ensemble. Thus, with our daily choices, we have the power to change the world... This realisation is frightening on many levels, since it brings us face to face with our responsibility as members of the terrestrial family, and that brings certain old habits into question. At the same time, feelings of fullness, joy and hope emerge when one perceives the immensity of the potential that this represents. To learn to unite our strengths, not only among humans but also with the animals, plants, and Devas, opens the doors to co-create a veritable earthly paradise: a planetary garden. The bee recalls us to our Soul. One wing in the wild world and one in the domestic, she offers herself as a creator of relationships, a guide and a teacher of the complex and intriguing mysteries of the Universe. The bee is a companion, a counsellor, an ally. She unites the personal and the universal. Throughout our history, numerous traditions consider the bee a messenger of the Gods, recognising her characteristics as a mediator and carrier of information between worlds. Engraved on tombs, she has long been honoured as a companion of souls during their passage from life to death, and, invoked during birth, from death towards life as well. For a long time, the bee has been enveloped in a cloak of beliefs accepted as established truth without having been truly understood. Only a few contemplative philosophers studied her teachings, along with certain lodges confined within Mystery Schools. Today, the time is ripe for this knowledge to be revealed to a larger and more varied body of truth seekers eager for learning and wisdom. The bee knows and she awaits us.

Book excerpt: The most joyful emanation produced by a colony of bees is known as the "song of increase"—declaring that the hive is flourishing and the bees are happy in its abundance. Song of Increase takes us inside the world of the honeybee to glean the wisdom of these fascinating creatures with whom humanity has shared a sacred bond for millennia. Within these pages is a bee-centric approach to living with honeybees, rather than advice for simply maximizing the products they provide. Jacqueline Freeman takes us beyond traditional beekeeping and offers a way to work in harmony with honeybees for both their good and ours. "Our way is one of kind observation," she explains, "where we create supportive homes and fields for bees to live in, as well as tend the heartfelt relationships we form by being together." Song of Increase focuses on hidden aspects of apiculture that lead us naturally to more sustainable practices. Freeman illuminates the unity consciousness that guides every action in the colony and how this profound awareness can influence the way we see both the natural world and ourselves. Each chapter presents a wealth of information about the life of bees, including Freeman’s personal insights and direct teachings received from the bees themselves. Contents Include: I. The Song of Unity: How Bees See Themselves, Their Colony, and the World II. The Song of Belonging: The Sacred Work of the Queen, Drones, Maidens, and Pips III. The Song of Communion: How Bees Create a Perfect Home IV. The Song of the World: The Communion of Bees and Flowers V. The Song of Increase: The Blessings of the Swarm and the Ascension of a New Queen VI. The Song of Abundance: The Generosity of Bees VII. The Song of Sharing: How We Can Help Our Bee Friends

Book excerpt: Although the fruits of Anthroposophy--Waldorf education, biodynamic agriculture, Camphill, anthroposophic medicine, and so on--are relatively well known and moderately successful, their relationship to Anthroposophy and its vehicle for transmission, the General Anthroposophical Society, and the School for Spiritual Science, remains mysterious and unclear; sadly, the same is true of the meaning and purpose of those institutions. Related to this is the fact that, though these offshoots of Anthroposophy are well known, eighty-five years after his death and eighty-seven years after the re-formation of the Anthroposophical Society, what Rudolf Steiner brought into the world, what entered the world through him and what he sought to accomplish--that is, what spiritual science and spiritual-scientific research are and how one practices them--remain virtually unknown. In other words, something essential has been forgotten. Written both in commemoration of the 150th anniversary of Rudolf Steiner's birth and in the context of the long-standing, episodically erupting, and ongoing confusion surrounding the mission and task of the Anthroposophical Society, Peter Selg seeks to recover what has perhaps been forgotten or overlooked in Rudolf Steiner's own words and life. He does so by describing, clearly and objectively, the historical background of Steiner's vision of the "civilizational task" of Anthroposophy and how he had hoped it might be accomplished. This book has two parts. First, the author offers a lucid description of the development and gradual sharpening--in the face of the crisis of Western culture epitomized by World War I and its aftermath--of the vision of spiritual science as a truly Michaelic task for the Michael Age. In part two, Peter Selg takes up the events following Rudolf Steiner's death, outlining deftly and subtly the struggles and developments that ensued, commenting tactfully on the questions and perspectives that arose and continue to arise. Rudolf Steiner's Intentions for the Anthroposophical Society is for all those who care about the reality and future of Anthroposophy. Originally published in German as Der Vorstand, die Sektionen und die Gesellschaft. Welche Hochschule wollte Rudolf Steiner? by Ita Wegman Institute for Basic Research into Anthroposophy.
