Four Mystery Dramas
GA 14
Rudolf Steiner wrote four mystery plays entitled:
- The Portal of Initiation (1910)
- The Soul's Probation (1911)
- The Guardian of the Threshold (1912)
- The Soul's Awakening (1913)
They contain the whole essence of anthroposophy. Indeed, Rudolf Steiner said that, if through some unlikely chance the four Mystery Dramas alone should survive, in them the essential content of anthroposophy would be preserved.
The Portal Of Initiation
Anthroposophical Publishing Co., London, 1925, translated from the German by H. Collison
Steiner's bold attempt to depict in dramatic form the experiences of a group of people and their relationships as they go on a path of spiritual development as well as the supersensible beings who help and hinder them.
