lectures and writings fromtoCW

Selected from material given by Rudolf Steiner to members of his Esoteric School, this volume features exercises, meditations, and practices for spiritual selfdevelopment.
In contrast to Eastern methods of inner development, these arise from the Western, Rosicrucian stream, adapted fully to modern consciousness,

Various exercises are givenfor morning and evening, for the days of the week, and for the months of the year.
Also included are numerous explanations that can deepen and enhance meditative work, including several articles on inner development and the obstacles one faces on the way to true selfawareness.


This enlarged edition contains additional clarification of the exercises, descriptions of future world and human evolution, and advice that Steiner gave later in his life on the nature of breathing exercises and ancient and modern methods of initiation.


This is an invaluable resource for all those who are serious about inner development, regardless of one's chosen path,

Steiner was a philosopher, social thinker, architect, and esotericist, Steiner led this movement through several phases, In the first, philosophically oriented phase, Steiner attempted to find a synthesis between science and mysticism his philosophical work of these years, 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 a second phase, beginning around, he began working collaboratively in a variety of artistic media, including drama, the movement arts developing a new artistic form, eurythmy and architecture, culminating in the building of a cultural center to house all the arts, the Goetheanum.

"After the First World War, Steiner worked with educators, farmers, doctors, and other professionals to develop Waldorf education, biodynamic agriculture, anthroposophical medicine as well as new directions in numerous other practical areas.
"Steiner advocated a form of ethical individualism, to which he later brought a explicitly spiritual component, He based his epistemology on Johann Wolfgang Goethe's world view, in which 'Thinking is no and no less an organ of perception than the eye or ear.
Just as the eye perceives colours and the ear sounds, so thinking perceives ideas, ' A consistent thread that runs from his earliest philosophical phase through his later spiritual orientation is the goal of demonstrating that there are no essential limits to human knowledge.
