Rudolf Steiner's fundamental handbook for spiritual and personal
development has grown more modern as time has passed, although his
methods remain clearly distinguishable from the many others now in
circulation. For one thing, Steiner's path of spiritual growth is
based on the clarity of thought normally associated with scientific
research. Rather than denying clear thinking, his aim is to extend it
beyond its present limitations.
Secondly, Steiner recognizes - as all genuine disciplines always have
- that the path to spiritual experience is an arduous and dangerous
one, calling for self-control in thought, word and deed. Human beings
comprise a unity, and we cannot develop knowledge without a
corresponding development in feeling and will. Rudolf Steiner foretold
that humanity would begin to experience a longing for forms of
experience that transcended intellectual, materialistic thinking.
More than one hundred years after the first publication of this book
in 1904, there are countless means to achieve such experience, such as
eastern meditation, channelling, remote viewing and astral projection.
In addition, there has been a huge growth in people reporting
extrasensory perceptions of various kinds, such as near-death
experiences and meetings with angels. In this context, Steiner's key
spiritual workbook - reproduced here in the classic Osmond/Davy
translation - is needed more than ever, given its unique, precise
instructions for inner training, its protective exercises, and its
indications for grounding and centring. Knowledge of the Higher Worlds
begins with the conditions required for personal development, and
guides us through the stages of initiation, its practical aspects and
its effects.
