{"product_id":"towards-spiritual-encounter-albert-smit-9781915776136","title":"Towards Spiritual Encounter","description":"In his general practice as a doctor, Albert Smit observed numerous psychological issues in his patients - issues that often caused an existential crisis for the individual concerned. These experiences led Smit to change his career and to begin a path of research to discover how genuine inner healing could be achieved. In this succinct and inspiring study, the author offers a clear way forward that allows for individual and social transformation.   Smit points to a statement by Rudolf Steiner, that human relationships could become something of a social art. We can begin on this work today, through free and conscious choice. Engaging the forces of the heart, we can meet our fellow human beings as true individuals - as equals - and ultimately as brothers and sisters. Such work could help to heal the individual alienation and social divisions of our time. Eventually, human encounter could evolve into a spiritual event - even a sacramental act! Towards Spiritual Encounter is a valuable text for meditation and reflection.   'The basis for all free religious feeling that will unfold in humanity in the future will be the acknowledgement - not merely in theory but in actual practice - that every human being is made in the likeness of the Godhead. ... For then every meeting between one person and another will of itself be in the nature of a religious rite, a sacrament.' - Rudolf Steiner","brand":"Temple Lodge Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51131711389984,"sku":"9781915776136","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781915776136.jpg?v=1781448999","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/towards-spiritual-encounter-albert-smit-9781915776136","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
