A Way of Self-Knowledge: And the Threshold of the Spiritual World

â€œI hope that reading this book can become a kind of inner conversation. If this conversation unfolds in such a way that it reveals the hidden inner forces that can be awakened in every soul, then reading this book may lead to genuÂine, inner soul work. As a result you may find yourself gradually impelled to undertake the journey of the soul that truly leads to vision of the spiritual world.â€ â€•Rudolf Steiner

Part one, â€œA Way of Self-Knowledgeâ€: Eight meditations that take the reader on a journey through human experience. Beginning with ordinary experience, Steiner offers ways to imagine and understand the physical body, the elemental (or etheric) body, the elemental world, the Guardian of the Threshold, the astral body, the I-body (or thought body), the nature of experience in suprasensory worlds, and ways of perceiving previous earthly lives.

Part two, â€œThe Threshold of the Spiritual Worldâ€: Sixteen short chapters in which Steiner provides aphoristic thoughts on trusting oneâ€™s thinking, cognition of the spiritual world, karma and reincarnation, the astral body and luciferic beings, how to recognize suprasensory consciousness, the true nature of love, and more.

These two complete books together represent Steinerâ€™s most personal statements about his own spiritual path. He speaks directly from experiences of cognitive research and explorations. Each of the meditations and aphorisms arises from his spiritual research and demonstrates how such spiritual research is to be undertaken. The â€œcontentâ€ is Steinerâ€™s own, but readers can discover their own â€œcontent.â€ Steinerâ€™s method of awarenessâ€•his path of attention to oneâ€™s own experienceâ€•is universal and truly human.

A Way of Self-Knowledge is a true sequel and complement to the classic of inner development, How to Know Higher Worlds. It lays out in a way that is accessible to anyone the road to self-knowledge and to the world of spirit.

This Collected Works edition contains a new introduction, a chronology of Rudolf Steiner's life, and an index.
