Knowledge of the Higher Worlds and Its Attainment
There slumber in every human being faculties by means of which he can acquire for himself a knowledge of higher worlds. Mystics, Gnostics, Theosophists - all speak of a world of soul and spirit which for them is just as real as the world we see with our physical eyes and touch with our physical hands.

this book is very informative and above all makes you really acknowledge your actions and the consequences of those actions. i truly believe if everybody made an effort (because it is an effort) to read this book then the world will be a better place. it is a very heavy and deep book and to truly understand it i must read it again, but on the surface a very interesting and good book indeed.
Steiner is either insain of far beyond me. I assume both. I could not get very far in this book, but the beggining has a wonderful desciption and encouragment for "verneration." He thinks that worship, honor, esteem, and the likes are an important first step in the spiritual journey.
Despite the seemingly poor translation, the heavy, sludge like writing of the early 1900s, and very little organization, this volume contains some of the most descriptive visualizations of supersensible phenomenon. Extremely detailed, often pontificating, and always slow reading, this book is screaming out for a modern translation, or even a remake. But although it took me 10 times longer than a book of similar length to finish, I have never received this level of knowledge from any source.
Steiner at his core, this is his better work. While I can occasionally come to grips with his descriptions of the world through the language of metaphor. This book breaks down how to get to a spiritual consciousness without pretense or autocracy.
