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, Theosophy, The Philosophy of Freedom and Occult Science. The anthroposophy of Rudolf Steiner is not a theoretical system, but the results of research based on direct observation. As Steiner's research was so vast and conducted over such a long period of time, no single book can be said to contain the whole of his spiritual teaching. However, of all his books Occult Science comes closest. Steiner even referred to it as 'an epitome of anthroposophical spiritual science'. The book sets out, in systematic order, the fundamental facts concerning the nature and constitution of the human being and, in chronological order, the history of the universe and man. Whereas the findings of natural science are derived from observations made through the senses, the findings of spiritual science, or anthroposophy, are 'occult' inasmuch as they derive from direct observation of realities which are hidden to everyday perception. And yet these elements of humanity and the universe form the foundation of the sense world. A substantial part of Occult Science is occupied by a description of the preliminary training which is necessary to make such spiritual observations. Although Occult Science is not all-inclusive, it is indispensable to any serious student seeking to master Rudolf Steiner's extraordinary philosophy

From the Author
Rudolf Steiner (1861–1925) became a respected and well-published scientific, literary, and philosophical scholar, particularly known for his work on Goethe's scientific writings. At the beginning of the twentieth century, he began to develop his earlier philosophical principles into an approach to methodical research of psychological and spiritual phenomena. His multifaceted genius has led to innovative and holistic approaches in medicine, philosophy, religion, education (Waldorf schools), special education (the Camphill movement), economics, agriculture (biodynamics), science, architecture, and the arts (drama, speech and eurythmy). In 1924 he founded the General Anthroposophical Society, which has branches throughout the world.
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.

THE NEXT PHASE OF STEINER'S PHILOSOPHY AFTER "THEOSOPHY"
By Steven H Propp
Rudolf Joseph Lorenz Steiner (1861-1925) was an Austrian religious philosopher and esotericist, who was once a leader in the German section of the Theosophical Society, but broke with them after refusing to acknowledge Jiddu Krishnamurti as the coming "World Teacher." Steiner then founded the Anthroposophical Society, and began an influential system of schools ("Waldorf Schools") based on his educational ideas. He wrote many other books, such as Theosophy, Knowledge of the Higher Worlds and its Attainment: An Esoteric Spiritualism Initiation, etc. [NOTE: page numbers below refer to the 395-page 1972 paperback edition.]
He explained in the Preface to the 16th-20th editions, "Originally, it was my plan to add [this book's] essential content as final chapters to my book Theosophy... This proved to be impossible... [as] the subject matter of Occult Science did not yet live in me in its final form... I perceived details, but not the complete picture. I, therefore, decided to publish Theosophy with the content I had seen as the nature of the life of individual man, and then to carry through Occult Science ... without undue haste." (Pg. ix-x) He adds, "What is spiritually perceived is fully comprehensible to the unprejudiced, unperceiving consciousness if the seer gives his perceptions thought form... the comprehension of the spirit world ... bears the stamp of thought employed in natural science." (Pg. xi-xii) He asserts, "Occult Science is the antithesis of Natural Science." (Pg. xiv) He contends, "the knowledge considered scientific today cannot penetrate into the spirit world, and these reasons are in a certain sense irrefutable." (Pg. xx)
He observes, "The following objection is often heard in regard to the statements of occult science: 'These latter do not offer proof; they merely assert this or that and say that occult science ascertains this.' The following exposition will be misjudged if it is thought that any part of it has been presented in this sense. Our endeavor here is to allow the capacity of soul unfolded through a knowledge of nature to evolve further, as far as its own nature will allow, and then to call attention to the fact that in such development the soul encounters supersensible facts." (Pg. 9) Later, he adds, "for supersensible perception itself there is no need of verification of its results through such experiences. It does not desire to PROVE anything by these references, but to elucidate its findings." (Pg. 63)
He argues, "Prior to the separation of the moon from the Earth... there were among the descendants of the abandoned germinal human beings left behind on earth, in which the human souls, returning from the body-free state of existence, could no longer incarnate... Certain human souls, therefore, found it no longer possible under such circumstances to return to the Earth... Another part... was only able to receive souls of an order lower than the human being... There were souls who had been unable... when the Sun separated from the Earth, to find a place in the latter... they were removed to a planet that... had been severed from the common universal substance... from which the sun had also detached itself. This planet is the one whose physical expression is known to modern science as Jupiter... The souls described evolved further on Jupiter... and later on... still another dwelling place had to be fashioned ... For these a place on Mars was provided for their further evolution." (Pg. 197-199) Later, he adds, "In the case of the inferior kinds of human beings... the consequence was a tremendous terrestrial catastrophe... Only the smallest part who had remained partly untouched by error was able to escape to a district of the earth that had remained until then protected from corrupting human influence... The earth region... situated between modern Europe, Africa, and America, is called 'Atlantis' by spiritual science." (Pg. 216)
He suggests, "At the moment in the life of Christ Jesus, when His astral body contained everything that the Luciferic impulse can conceal, He assumed His mission as teacher of mankind... At the moment when the event of Golgotha was accomplished, the other aptitude was injected into mankind by which it is possible to turn the influence of Ahriman to good... The event of Palestine is not only the center of the physical evolution of mankind, but it is also the center of the other worlds to which the human being belongs... Since the Christ event, human beings who elevate themselves... are able to carry with them into the spiritual world what they have acquired in the sense world." (Pg. 248-249)
He states, "in true spiritual training... the sources of delusion are stopped up... in preparing himself, the true spiritual science student will acquire sufficient knowledge about what may cause delusion and autosuggestion, and thus be in a position to protect himself from them." (Pg. 336) He further asserts, "Whoever believes that human freedom is not compatible with foreknowledge and predestination of the future ... should consider that free human action in the future depends just as little upon the character the predestined things will have as this freedom depends upon his resolve to live in a house a year hence, the plan of which he determines today. He will be as free as it is possible for him to be according to his inner nature... he will be as free upon Jupiter and Venus as his inner life permits..." (Pg. 363)
This book is "must reading" for anyone studying Steiner's philosophy and ideas.

This is a very advanced book and not for novices!
By Gabriel Ricci
I read this book several years ago and was stunned by the assertions it presented and the complexity of the material stretched my ability to contemplate the ideas. When one is not at the level to judge one must be able to hold the information in a state of don't know. IT IS MY STRONG OPINION THAT THIS IS NOT A BOOK TO BE CLASSIFIED AS A FIRST READ. Since then I have read at least 30 of Steiner's book and collected works. I am an engineer and have done graduate work and can tell you that Steiner is the most precise scientist and writer I have ever experienced. Steiner graduated from the Vienna Institute of Technology, which was considered one of the top technical universities of it's time. He also received two PhD's. One in the philosophy of science and the second in epistemology. He left more knowledge in a variety of disciplines than any human I know of in modern times. Books of his collected works number in excess of 350. His scope of contributions include medicine, education, agriculture, art, architecture, economics, social reorganization, etc. The consistency and rational preciseness of his works will over time, pending a continued research of his writing, strongly indicate to any diligent researcher that what is in this book and his many others are accurate. The most significant basis of proof to the layman is the global usage of many of the ideas across multiple desciplines around the globe.
After reading so many of his works I can tell you that I find no religion at all in this writing, but very practical ideas that give me a much deeper understanding of the world we live in and how things are connected at a deeper level. The ideas in this book have helped me develop a new position regarding evolution vs. god argument that exists in our society today. To an existentialist, this would be impossible to reconcile this question as the world begins and ends with the physical sense organs and death. However, my common sense and precise logic lead me to believe that the earthly physicality is only part of the picture and I adhere to no religion, but find them all adding some demension to my ability to live life. Steiner was asked to start a religion and refused, indicating that was not his purpose in life. Apparently, for some individuals, philosophy and science can be confused with religion. It is easy to understand, in today's paradigm, the scientist class operate as the old high priest, by telling us what to believe and what not to believe. Not all people ask the deeper questions and therefore it may be beyond the interest or perceptive abilities of many to marshall the inner resources to understand books of this nature.

Possibly *the* place to start on Steiner
By J. R. Lee
I purchased and read this book, as well as related works, as I was close to a physician at the time who had begun work to practice Anthroposophical Medicine. The back cover of this edition of "Occult Science" asserts that "The anthroposophy of Rudolf Steiner is not a theoretical system, but the results of research based on direct observation." A little later it is stated, "the findings of spiritual science, or anthroposophy, are 'occult' inasmuch as they derive from direct observation of realities which are hidden to everyday perception." While there are some noble sentiments presented in the text, any would-be disciple of Steiner should read it to see what Steiner has "observed" including various beings inhabiting various "planets" throughout time. This is not a minor point with Steiner but a lengthy discussion. Steiner though does assert how the student may potentially develop to his level and the details will be corroborated by the student's similar direction observation.
Steiner's disciples assert he was clairvoyant. I assert he was confused and his disciples are mistaking a religion for spirituality; religion being the buying into various articles of faith--and there are an abundance with Steiner, and spirituality being a personal journey.
If you think you may be interested in Steiner, I recommend you start with this book, "Occult Science", I think it better to be disappointed at the start than after you have invested considerable time in Steiner writings that seem more reasonable.
