The Seat of the Soul Rudolf Steiner’s Seven Planetary Seals by Yvan Rioux

“The seat of the soul is where the inner world and the outer world meet. Where they overlap, it is in every point of the overlap.”—Novalis How are the internal and external forms of the human organism shaped? How does human consciousness emerge? These are questions that conventional science cannot answers.In The Seat of the Soul, Yvan Rioux invites us to consider new concepts that explain these phenomena. His exposition is based on the existence of external “formative forces”—morphic fields—that, he asserts, create the human body or organism in conjunction with forces that resonate within us from the living solar system. The psyche—the soul—progressively emerges as an inner world of faculties that, with time, comes to apprehend and understand the outer world.In his previous book The Mystery of Emerging Form, Rioux explored the formative forces of the twelve zodiacal constellations. In this absorbing sequel, he investigates how such activity from the planetary spheres works within us
