Overview

You are more than you think you are. Dr. Anna Lups begins with a practical study of alchemical principles through her examination of a young child's colorful drawings. As a Waldorf school physician, she began to realize that a ""star child"" had artistically conveyed a message worth investigating. Two decades later, she revisited those drawings and realized that this child had been able to convey his reservoir of past memories from deep consciousness. Throughout these pages, the author expands on the child's drawings alongside a key work of Hermes Trismegistus, the Emerald Tablet, and his terse observation, ""As above so below,"" a guiding principle for pursuing self-knowledge and one's true purpose on Earth. She also explores the spiritual significance of numbers and vowel sounds, as well as embryogenesis, esoteric physiology of our major organs, spiritual and physical aspects of human development, gender, marriage, sexuality, and the unique blessing of being human on Earth. Interspersed within this broad, accessible study of a child's drawings is the author's own biography as a woman and single mother practicing anthroposophic medicine in rural New York State for more than fifty years. Her experience, wisdom, and years of immersion in Rudolf Steiner's spiritual science contribute to understanding how we can each live fully in our vertical and horizontal realities as human beings and how we can eventually learn the most essential lesson there is for the future of humanity--to Love one another unconditionally. ""This book when read and understood is a process of initiation--in the becoming. It encourages the reader to become aware--'you are more than who you think you are.' The most important thing to bring is your sense of humor, light, and curiosity, for that is the stimulus of imagination."" -- Dr. Anna LupsIncludes more than 100 illustrations in color. The first edition was published as THE ONE of the Emerald Tablet: Illuminating Ancient Cryptic Truths (Lindisfarne Books, 2017).
