Knowledge Of The Higher Worlds And Its Attainment

by Rudolf Steiner, George Metaxa (Translator), Lisa D. Monges (Translator)

Overview

This book is specifically meant for those who are serious about walking a spiritual path and exploring a deeper part of themselves. It shares information on exactly why a higher world exists and what needs to be done to reach it. The tone of the book is very personal - to the point where you will feel like Steiner himself is sitting there with you, guiding you privately in the quest. Much is covered on dreams, meditation, focusing the mind and living a true spiritual life. The exercises can offer the reader a higher spiritual awareness and an increase in personal power, but only if they are performed consistently. Steiner was a Theosophist and much can be found from both Theosophical and Rosicrucian schools of thought, which means the knowledge shared is the best available from these accepted and proven sources. Beginners or the merely curious may not get as much from this work as those who have had some prior knowledge in these areas. A deeper part of the universe does exist and gaining access to it involves us unlocking a deeper part of ourselves. It is no simple task, but this book can serve as a key to those inner locks by applying oneself to its teachings.

About the Author

RUDOLF STEINER, philosopher,
scientist and educator, (1861-1925), has achieved world-wide fame as the originator of the Science of the Spirit known as Anthroposophy, and as a pioneer of genius in a variety of fields of learning.
"Steiner's gift to the world was a moral and meditative way to objective vision, a way appropriate to the psychological and physiological constitution of Western man. If accepted in the spirit of humility, altruism and truthfulness in which it was given, it could bridge the existing cleft between a man's religious conviction and his intellect and will. It could add comprehension to our existing knowledge and thus revive the vision without which our generation will hardly find the solution to its problems."
Franz Winkler, M.D., Man the Bridge between Two Worlds.
"That the academic world has managed to dismiss Steiner's works as inconsequential and irrelevant, is one of the intellectual wonders of the twentieth century. Anyone who is willing to study those vast works with an open mind (let us say, a hundred of his titles) will find himself faced with one of the greatest thinkers of all time, whose grasp of the modern sciences is equaled only by his profound learning in the ancient ones."
Russell W. Davenport, The Dignity of Man
