Readers who do not intend to follow the path mapped out here will nevertheless find much that is useful for their inner life: for example, pre-cepts for the conduct of life, indications clarify-ing this or that perplexing question, and so forth. And many people who, in the course of life-experience, have been through a great deal and have in many respects undergone an initi-ation through life itself, will find a certain satis-faction in seeing things clarified that they have already sensed to be true--things they already knew, without perhaps having brought this knowledge to a clear enough conception. -- Rudolf Steiner (preface)Rudolf Steiner's foundational handbook for spiritual and personal development has grown modern with time, though his methods remain clearly distinguishable from many current paths of inner work. First, Steiner's method is based on the clarity of thought normally associated with scientific research. Instead of denying clear thinking, his aim is to extend it beyond its present limitations. Second, Steiner recognizes--as do all genuine paths--that the way to spiritual experience is arduous and dangerous and calls for self-control in thought, word, and action. The human being comprises a unity, and we cannot develop knowledge without a corresponding development of feeling and will.
Steiner predicted that humanity would begin to experience a longing for forms of experience that transcended intellectual, materialistic thinking. More than a hundred years after the first publication of this book, countless means are offered for achieving transcendental experience, including Eastern meditation practices, channeling, remote viewing, and astral projection. Moreover, there has been a huge increase in the number of people who report various suprasensory perceptions, such as near-death experiences and meetings with angels. In this context, Steiner's key spiritual guidebook is needed more than ever, given its unique, precise instructions for inner training, its protective exercises, and its indications for staying grounded and centered. Knowledge of the Higher Worlds begins with the preconditions for personal development and guides the reader through the stages of initiation, its practical aspects, and its effects.
This key work of anthroposophic inner development is among Rudolf Steiner's most important works.
The Chadwick Library Edition is an endeavor to republish--mostly in new or thoroughly revised English translations--several written works of Rudolf Steiner. The edition is named for the late horticulturist Alan Chadwick, whose life and work has served as inspiration to the small group from which the idea originated. Our extensive experience with special bindings led to the selection--for this trade edition of 750 books--of a leather spine binding, cloth sides, and a light slipcase. For the hand-numbered edition (100 books), the binding is full leather with a hand-gilt top of the pages in a fine, stiff, cloth-covered slipcase. The leather is blue calfskin, and the title stamping on the spines is in genuine gold leaf. All of this will be carried out by hand at one of the finest binders, Ruggero Rigoldi.
Knowledge of the Higher Worlds is a translation from German of the written work Wie erlangt man Erkenntnisse der höheren Welten? (GA 10).
