EDITORIAL PREFACE

The recommendation to have recourse to a Master or Teacher has been modified by theauthor, and the reasons are given by him in many places, notably in his own preface tothe 6th edition (Sept. 1914) where he writes : - ' In the personal relationship with theteacher one might assume something is required in spiritual effort more essential thanwhat is really intended. But I hope that in this new edition I have succeeded in showingvery distinctly that for the student in spiritual training in the sense of modern spiritualconditions much more emphasis should be laid on the complete and immediateconnection with the objective spiritual world than any relation to the person of a teacher.'The foundation of a Spiritual Science and its School and Headquarters at Dornach,Switzerland, was meant by Dr. Steiner to replace more and more the individualconsultation between pupil and teacher by a directly objective course of direct spiritualteaching, such as is given in this book, and finally referred to on p. 158, in his Appendixto the final Edition of 1918.
