Knowledge of the Higher Worlds and Its Attainment

About this book

A student must first learn to pay attention. Rudolf Steiner describes a path of exercises intended to develop perception and prepare the mind for encounters with what he calls higher worlds.

He writes about concentration, reverence, observation and the moral conditions he believed necessary for esoteric study. The claimed spiritual experiences belong to Steiner's own system. The book is unusual for the patience it demands: progress is measured through small changes in daily attention and conduct.
