The heart of this book is an existential question. Without the light of spiritual science, the encounter with the etheric Christ remains merely a personal experience, and anthroposophy, without the new life forces flowing from the etheric Christ, remains a rigid, physical edifice of knowledge. Both are mutually dependent. But how can the mutually enlivening bridge between them be built for the three encounters? Ben-Aharon speaks candidly about his personal spiritual path and his inner struggles with consciousness, addressing this fundamental dilemma in this prelude to the forthcoming second edition of his book. The new experience of the supernatural.
