This volume contains 185 "Leading Thoughts," many of which are
accompanied by letters to the members. The overlap is great between
this book and two others entitled The Life, Nature and Cultivation
of Anthroposophy and The Michael Mystery. These two books are
also titled Letters to the Members.
A comparison of the contents of the above-mentioned three books
reveals that they are related to each other in these ways:
- All of The Michael Mystery is contained in
Anthroposophical Leading Thoughts.
- About one fifth of The Life, Nature and Cultivation of
Anthroposophy is contained in Anthroposophical Leading
Thoughts.
- Almost all of Anthroposophical Leading Thoughts is
contained in The Life, Nature and Cultivation of
Anthroposophy and The Michael Mystery
taken together.

A collection of short essays by Steiner for the members of the
Anthroposophical Society. They were written near the end of Steiner's
life and in a way summarize, in highly concentrated form, the whole of
anthroposophy. Each essay ends with a short summary of its contents
and these are known as the “leading thoughts.” The leading
thoughts are mantras and can be used quite fruitfully for meditation.

-
A collection of 18 letters written to the members of the Anthroposophical
Society in 1924. These letters first appeared in a supplement to the
German language periodical “Goetheanum Weekly” and in the

book is also known as Letters to the Members, I.

Translated by Marjorie Spock These letters and guidelines were among
the last writings by Steiner. Their significance has yet to be fully
recognized. This is a human guidebook for the 21st Century. It is a
collection of 29 letters to the members of the Anthroposophical Society.
These letters are in addition to the 18 letters contained in the
collection, The Life, Nature and Cultivation of Anthroposophy,
cited above. This book is also known as Letters to the Members, II.

Frank Thomas Smith provides a new, reinvigorated translation of Rudolf Steiner's classic,
“Anthroposophical Leading Thoughts.” Any serious student of Anthroposophy,
in fact, any individual, any citizen of the world, needs to read this book.
