Knowledge of the Higher Worlds and Its Attainment

"Knowledge of the Higher Worlds and its Attainment" by Rudolf Steiner is the classic account of the modern Western esoteric path of initiation. This work constitutes a fundamental guide to the anthroposophical path of cognition or knowledge. In human consciousness, faculties are sleeping that, if awakened, lead to life-giving wisdom. With great clarity and warmth Rudolf Steiner details the exercises and moral qualities to be cultivated on the path to a conscious experience of supersensible realities. By patiently and persistently following his guidelines, new “organs” of soul and spirit begin to form, which reveal the contours of the higher worlds thus far concealed from us. "Knowledge of the Higher Worlds and its Attainment" is Steiner’s most essential guide to the modern path of initiation he advocated throughout his life.
