Examples include the evolution and formation of the world, the angelic hierarchy, and particularly the chakras. So, then, why continue with the Chakra Work? The first reason is that Tomberg leaves gaps in the Meditations otherwise, it might extend to one thousand pages or more. I have not yet found anything that indicates otherwise. My communications with Willi’s students confirm that the Meditations have little relevance to these notebooks. That text is much more impressive in terms of breadth and depth than Tomberg’s earlier writings. As is known, Tomberg had converted to Catholicism and the Meditations of the Tarot was published posthumously. Tomberg’s reason was that he was no longer the same person who wrote those earlier Anthroposophical writings, which were of particular interest to Seiss.

The content of these occult teaching letters clearly shows the way and the goal.Īpparently, Seiss wrote to Tomberg, around 1970, requesting a personal meeting, which was refused. This is necessary because too early communication of these connections would provoke attacks, slander and envy, as experience teaches. Moreover, there are other sources which he refuses to reveal, at least not publicly, as he explains: More controversial is Seiss’ claim that much of the work was revealed to him from Rudolf Steiner and Valentin Tomberg in their postmortem states. The loose leaf pages imply that the work will be ongoing, simply because (as he writes) evolution, or spiritual realization, is incomplete. Although the group that continues Seiss’ work is rather closed, it was never Willi’s intention to keep the texts private. Chakra Work is currently available only in German. Achamoth Press has provided a valuable service in making Tomberg’s Our Father Course available in both German and English editions.

Seiß was an independent Anthroposophist who was concerned to protect and promulgate the works of Valentin Tomberg through the Achamoth Press. And then, for the past year, I have been recovering from a health problem and am only just now regaining full strength, allowing me to return to these texts. There was a period of time necessary to absorb the texts. I was asked to do something with the Work. Just over two years ago, an anonymous source sent me two large binders filled with loose leaf pages of revelations from Willi Seiß, founder of the Free Hermetic Christian Study Center.
