Knowledge of the Higher Worlds
Rudolf Steiner
(Written 1904 – 1905; GA 10)
Knowledge of the Higher Worlds and Its Attainment
constitutes afundamental guide to the anthroposophical path of cognition orknowledge. 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 onthe path to a conscious experience of supersensible realities.
RUDOLF STEINER,
philosopher, scientist and educator, (1861–1925), hasachieved world-wide fame asthe originator of the Science of the Spirit known as Anthroposophy, and as a pioneer of genius in a varietyof fields of learning.
“Steiner's gift to the worldwas a moral and meditativeway to objective vision, a wayappropriate to thepsychological andphysiological constitution of Western man. If accepted in the spirit of humility, altruism and truthfulness in which it was given, it could bridge theexisting cleft between a man's religious conviction and his intellect and will.It could add comprehension to our existing knowledge and thus revive thevision without which our generation will hardly find the solution to itsproblems.”Franz Winkler, M.D.,
Man the Bridge between Two Worlds.
“That the academic world has managed to dismiss Steiner's works asinconsequential and irrelevant, is one of the intellectual wonders of thetwentieth century. Anyone who is willing to study those vast works with anopen mind (let us say, a hundred of his titles) will find himself faced with oneof the greatest thinkers of all time, whose grasp of the modern sciences isequaled only by his profound learning in the ancient ones.”Russell W. Davenport,
The Dignity of Man.
