Description
Rudolf Steiner was a philosopher, social thinker, architect, and esotericist. His philosophical work, which he termed spiritual science, sought to provide a connection between the cognitive path of Western philosophy and the inner and spiritual needs of the human being. In The Way of Initiation, Steiner details the exercises and moral qualities to be cultivated on the path to a conscious experience of ‘supersensible’ realities. His short but powerful...

It is only of recent times that the truths of occultism have been the subject of public lectures.

Today, man is entering upon a very critical period. Occult truths are beginning to be disclosed to the public. In a matter of twenty years or so, a certain...

Description
This volume contains a collection of short essays by Steiner for the members of the Anthroposophical Society. They were written near the end of Steiner's life and in a way summarize, in highly concentrated form, the whole of Anthroposophy. Each essay ends with a short summary of its contents and these are known, in this translation, as the "guidelines." The guidelines are mantras and can be used quite fruitfully for meditation.
