Knowledge of the Higher Worlds And Its Attainment: An Esoteric Spiritualism Initiation
RUDOLF STEINER was born in Austria in 1861. He became a respected and well-published scientific, literary, and philosophical scholar, known especially for his commentary on Goethe's scientific writings, which formed much of the basis for "anthroposophy," the science of spiritual knowledge that Steiner went on to develop throughout the beginning of the twentieth century until his death in 1925. His multi-faceted genius led to innovations in medicine, education (Waldorf), special education, and various areas of the arts. In 1924, he established the General Anthroposophical Society in Dornach, Switzerland, which today has branches throughout the world.
