Increasingly, people are realizing that education must continue throughout life. We face the choice of remaining as we are or developing ourselves. Through his extensive experience of leading seminars and training, the author developed three paths for adult learning: "vocational learning," "destiny learning," and "spiritual research learning." He describes the sevenfold path of destiny learning that leads through group-work to karmic knowledge. He also describes the seven professional fields of the adult educator as an aid to self-education.

Coenraad van Houten has extended his path of adult education called "Destiny Learning." Based on Rudolf Steiner's work, it is a threefold way of working with karma: understanding, transforming, and ordering. This approach opens new vistas for healing relationships and conflicts, for developing creative faculties for community building, and for forming initiatives based on freedom. The author broadens and deepens his previous work on this theme, showing that learning from destiny, as well as awakening the forces of will, are continuing processes. His practical advice can be applied directly to everyday life. Although this book develops and completes the themes of van Houten's earlier works--Practising Destiny and Awakening the Will--this book also stands on its own. In this volume, the author explains and extends crucial aspects of his threefold path of "destiny learning." Anyone who wants to take hold of personal development will find many nuggets of spiritual wisdom in this short book, which is based on a lifetime's work.

At the heart of this book is Rudolf Steiners culmination in the twentieth century, or the convergence of the working of Aristotelians and Platonists for the renewal of culture. And questions arise. Where is the whole of the School of Michael at present? How can we characterize and honor one and the other stream, and avoid stereotypes and misunderstandings? This work approaches the matter in its historical unfolding, in three successive steps, in which Steiner/Aristotles and Plato/Schrers incarnations form a thread. The first tableau opens up in the previous Age of Michael, in Greece, when Plato and Aristotle inaugurated the work of the two Michaelic streams. The second addresses the Middle Ages, and centers around the contrast between Alain de Lille and Thomas Aquinas, between the School of Chartres and Scholasticism. Steiners and Schrers life tasks in the nineteenth century form the prelude to the present. The heart of the book, and its longest section, looks at the present. It contrasts the working of Aristotelians and Platonists in the natural sciences, in psychology and in the social sciences. From the ground of extensive observation and characterization, it then turns to pressing questions. What can Platonists learn from Aristotelians? And how about the reverse? Starting from the example of individuals meeting across the streams, how can we extend this understanding so that it becomes an ongoing practice and a cultural concern? How can Michaelic individuals and institutions work in ways that honor the whole of the Michaelic movement?
