The Secret of the Formative Ages From a Karmic Perspective

Followed by the book ‘The Secret of the People Ages – Biographical Investigations in the Light of Anthroposophical Spiritual Science’, written by Orna Ben Dor.

According to Anthroposophical Spiritual Science, at each stage of his life a person develops different capabilities and physical, mental and spiritual qualities accordingly. In Biographical Counselling we learn to read our life-map according to different age periods that are called- ‘formative ages’ and according to the seven-year-cycles.

Each formative age is like a new spiritual organ that may bring us to a new level of consciousness. Each formative age brings with it a biographical event that has a unique tone characteristic of that age, and is part of the big puzzle of the person’s whole biography and karma.  

During the course we will touch upon the following topics:

1. The Law of Mirroring – the mysterious connection between the different ages and life periods.
2. Four births in the human being – Karmic biographical work with the birth story and the additional births that occur in our lives – Age 21, Age 42, Age 63.
3. Karma-based biography work with the formative ages:

• Age 5 – The Age of Willing and Longing
• Age 9 – The birth of self-consciousness – The Expulsion from the Garden of Eden & the Experience of Loneliness
• Age 12 – “He Created Them Man & Female” – The split and the journey to  earthly self-determination
• Age 17 – The revelation of “The Sun Year”
• Age 28 – “The Zero Year” – crossing the threshold
• Age 33 – The age of inversion
• Age 49 – from slavery to freedom
