The Language Of The Stars

The Language of the Stars presents a theological exploration of the zodiac in relation to the Christian creed. Set against the backdrop of the interwar period, the Rev. Prof. Hermann Beckh conducted significant research at The Christian Community Seminary in Stuttgart. His work during this time encompassed a variety of subjects, including music, the gospels, and ancient Mysteries. By 1930, he had crafted a comprehensive account of the cosmic order, which, unfortunately, remained unpublished and forgotten in the Berlin Archive for many years. This book marks the first publication of that pivotal work, serving as a significant contribution to Beckh's collected writings.

The text is not only a presentation of Beckh's original ideas but also includes a translation and annotations that enhance its accessibility. Rudolf Frieling offers a detailed application of Beckh's principles to the Creed of The Christian Community, providing readers with a contemporary lens through which to understand Beckh’s insights. Additionally, the book features various appreciations and reviews that highlight its importance and relevance.

Through deep meditation and a profound understanding of several sacred texts, Beckh arrived at a realization of the inherent order in both human and cosmic existence. He articulated that this cosmic order is fundamentally good, true, and beautiful, stemming from the World-Will, World-Thinking, and World-Feeling, respectively. This work encapsulates Beckh's method of disciplined consciousness, allowing individuals to experience these truths through various states of awareness, including dreams and pre-natal life.
