Be Your Own "Guru" - Rated
This deceptively small book is in fact one of the core works of the genius Rudolf Steiner, still underestimated outside (and probably inside) the Germanaphone world.

The essence of Steiner's teaching in this book and others is that a person can gain at least a degree of enlightenment or even initiation "alone", without the need for "gurus" and "ashrams" as in, for example the Hindu, but also the Sufi and other traditions. The integrity and independence of each individual human spirit is respected.

For all who want to see "beyond the veil" and are found ready, this book can be vital information.

The most important book on personal development in print - Rated
Not many books are awesome. This is one. Rudolf Steiner is the father of 20th century spiritual development. His thousands of lectures and numerous books as well as his practical contributions in many fields have quietly influenced fields as varied as education, architecture, medicine and organic farming. This book is the essence of his practical guidance for personal development. It repays repeated reading and contemplation. Deep, sound, safe and wonderfully illuminating.

A true modern path of Initiation. - Rated
In "How to Know Higher Worlds", Steiner undertakes the task of introducing the reader to the requirements of thought-life needed to percieve the higher processes of life and the cosmos. He provides a path of systematic development, for the faculties latent in each person, by which the development of a specific spiritual sensory organ may be cultivated. Once this is achieved, one is able to distinguish and move about with certainty in the subtle inner world of the human psyche, which is then shown to be interconnected to a vast realm of archetypal and spiritual forces which act upon the development of the cosmos. This book distinguishes itself as one of the definitive references on inner self-transformation, providing a path to a true self-knowledge, and expansion of one's empathetic relationship to the world.
