In this well-crafted book, Sigismund von Gleich suggests that Christ, the powers of karma, the Archangel Michael, the Grail, Sophia—all that has been established on earth from spiritual sources—cannot remain alive and fruitful unless it can draw nourishment repeatedly from those original sources.
The author bases his research on Rudolf Steiner's work and presents "the fivefold stream of inspiration from the spiritual world," which is the foundation of Anthroposophy.

Notes and Bibliography
Sigismund von Gleich
Sigismund von Gleich was born in Germany in 1896. While serving in the army he became ill with lung disease, and during convalescence was given a book by Rudolf Steiner. He was soon immersed in Steiner’s philosophy, and became one of the most prolific lecturers and writers in the early years of the anthroposophic movement. He fled Nazi Germany in 1936 and, in 1953, died in Holland.
