Theosophy | Free Book
An Introduction to the Supersensible Knowledge of the World and the
Destination of Man
Given his energetic involvement in practical initiatives and extensive
lecturing, Rudolf Steiner had little time to write books. Of those he
did write - belonging almost entirely to the earlier years of his work
- four titles form an indispensable introduction to his later
teaching: Knowledge of the Higher Worlds, Occult Science, The
Philosophy of Freedom and Theosophy. Theosophy focuses on a psychology
based not on the usual duality of body and mind, but on the more
ancient division of body, soul and spirit. Steiner describes in detail
the functions and organs of these three aspects of the human being,
and the objective realms to which they belong. Just as the body
derives from and belongs to the material world, so do the human soul
and spirit belong to their own specific realms. These are the
dimensions through which all human beings travel in the life after
death, and in which - after passing the 'midnight hour' - we prepare
to seek our destiny, or karma, in a new life. Theosophy features one
of the most comprehensive and condensed of all Steiner's accounts of
these realms, and of the experiences which our immortal being
undergoes in passing through them. The book ends with a chapter on the
modern 'path of knowledge', in which Steiner describes the exercises
through which every person may develop the latent powers of perception
which are necessary for a knowledge of metaphysical worlds.
