Book excerpt: Finding one's course through life, navigating between the "given, " or what life brings to one, and the "achieved, " what one can accomplish out of one's self, has become increasingly difficult. The Human Life unfolds a picture of the archetypes of human life patterns including: the seven-year periods, descent and ascent of the human spirit, human life as a reflection of historic development and evolution of consciousness, planetary influences, destiny and freedom, karmic companions, polarities in human life, the three levels of life -- body, soul, and spirit, and more. This book, the fruit of a life-work in anthroposophy by two leading figures in the development of anthroposophy in America, is an invaluable resource for understanding human life and development.
