About this book
Rudolf Steiner argues that meditation and concentration can extend human knowledge beyond the ordinary senses. His account of occult thought begins by taking objections from scientific thinkers seriously, then explains why he believes an inner training of the mind can reach further. Chapters address human nature, sleep and death, the development of the world, and ways of approaching higher realms.
The discussion develops into a spiritual account of cosmic and human origins. Steiner describes stages associated with Saturn, the Sun and the Moon, and links changes in earthly conditions to the relationship between body and soul. These are presented as claims within his spiritual system. Readers interested in anthroposophy, theosophy or the history of esoteric thought can examine how he builds that system and defends its proposed methods of knowledge.
