About this title

Synopsis

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 (1861-1925) was born in the small village of Kraljevec, Austro-Hungarian Empire (now in Croatia), where he grew up. As a young man, he lived in Weimar and Berlin, where he became a well-published scientific, literary, and philosophical scholar, known especially for his work with Goethe's scientific writings. At the beginning of the twentieth century, he began to develop his early philosophical principles into an approach to systematic research into psychological and spiritual phenomena. Formally beginning his spiritual teaching career under the auspices of the Theosophical Society, Steiner came to use the term Anthroposophy (and spiritual science) for his philosophy, spiritual research, and findings. The influence of Steiner's multifaceted genius has led to innovative and holistic approaches in medicine, various therapies, philosophy, religious renewal, Waldorf education, education for special needs, threefold economics, biodynamic agriculture, Goethean science, architecture, and the arts of drama, speech, and eurythmy. In 1924, Rudolf Steiner founded the General Anthroposophical Society, which today has branches throughout the world. He died in Dornach, Switzerland.
