Theosophy: An Introduction To The Supersensible Knowledge Of The World And The Destination Of Man

by Rudolf Steiner

Overview

Rudolf Steiner provides an accurate description of his own extra sensory experiences and the extra sensory information revealed through his experiences. In this book, Steiner reveals a deep understanding of human nature, beginning with the physical body, and moving up through the soul, to our spiritual being and the higher aspects of our spiritual being. Steiner discusses the human experience as a sevenfold being of body, soul, and spirit. Steiner also gives an overview of the laws of reincarnation and the workings of karma. This book shows the different ways we exist, during life on earth and after death, in the three worlds of body, soul and spirit... as well as the ways in which these worlds also live in us. This book reveals the path of knowledge through which we can understand the harmony and complexity of the psychic and spiritual worlds.

About the Author

Rudolf Steiner was an Austrian philosopher, literary scholar, educator, artist, playwright, social thinker, and esotericist. He was the founder of Anthroposophy, Waldorf education, biodynamic agriculture, anthroposophical medicine, and the new artistic form of Eurythmy. Steiner advocated a form of ethical individualism, to which he later brought a more explicitly spiritual component. He derived his epistemology from Johann Wolfgang Goethe's world view, where "Thinking... is no more 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.
