The Guardian of the Threshold and The Philosophy of Freedom:

The Guardian of the Threshold and The Philosophy of Freedom: On the Relationship of The Philosophy of Freedom to The Fifth Gospel

Just as an entire plant is contained in seminal form in its seed, the whole of Anthroposophy can be discovered in Rudolf Steinerâ€™s central work, The Philosophy of Freedom (Intuitive Thinking as a Spiritual Path), a book that lays the foundation for a modern scientific path to the spiritual world. Given the centrality of the Guardian of the Threshold to modern initiation, one may ask where this theme can be found in The Philosophy of Freedom. Sergei Prokofieff presents his insights to this little-researched question in the first part of this volume. In the second part, he investigates the connection of The Philosophy of Freedom to the content of Rudolf Steinerâ€™s research into to what he called â€œThe Fifth Gospel.â€
Prokofieff's thoughtful commentary sheds new light on the connection between Rudolf Steinerâ€™s early work and what he developed later in life. Study of the relevant texts reveals that the roots of Steinerâ€™s early work lie in the same spiritual realityâ€•the Christ impulseâ€•as that of the later Anthroposophy he would develop.
