By clouding wisdom, seeks to spread the night

Of Chaos o’er full-wakened spirit-sight.

Curtain

A Road to Self-Knowledge

The Threshold of the Spiritual World

The Portal of Initiation

By Rudolf Steiner

These volumes contain the meditations and occult exercises so long desired by the readers of occult literature. The author prefers the name Spiritual Science to Occult Science and opens a road of occultism to all people so that it is no longer hidden or occult, provided the spiritual world is approached with some preparation. Dr. Steiner holds no dogma, and has no interest in keeping a personal control over the student, as do so many so-called occultists. He is anxious for everyone to work free and independently with the same facilities and opportunities as he himself has, and he now gives the world sane and healthy exercises which with patience and perseverance can bring about the results so long desired.
