Episode Details

This episode concludes our discussion of Rudolf Steiner's--How to Know Higher Worlds. We explore more practical instructions for how to train in the "occult sciences," which surround increasing our capacity for empathy and systematically tearing down the psychological boundaries of identity...between yourself and others, between subject and object, between God and its creation. The ultimate goal of this striving took me by surprise. Steiner is not teaching ritual magic, he doesn't point to gods or demons, but rather points to the God-within. Steiner lays out a pattern of behavior and thinking that leads inevitably to an ego death and mystical enlightenment. It is endogenous. Lying in wait for each of us to become ready for its manifestation.

Enjoy :)
