{"product_id":"first-steps-in-inner-development-rudolf-steiner-9780880104647","title":"First Steps in Inner Development","description":"\"There is a delicate distinction between these two sentences: 'To find the others in oneself' and 'To find oneself in the others.' In the higher sense, it means 'You are that.' [\u003ci\u003eTat tsvam asi\u003c\/i\u003e]. Above all, in the highest sense, it means to recognize oneself in the world and to understand that saying of Novalis from \u003ci\u003eThe Disciple at Sais\u003c\/i\u003e... 'One was successful. He lifted the veil of the goddess at Sais. But what did he see? Miracle of miracles! He saw himself.' To find oneself--not in egoistic inwardness, but selflessly in the outer world--that is true self-knowledge.\" --\u003cb\u003eRudolf Steiner\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eRudolf Steiner is perhaps best known for his influence and wisdom in the fields of education, agriculture, medicine, science, and art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is often forgotten that it was as a spiritual teacher that he made these contributions. Unfortunately, while his immediate students had the advantage of Steiner as a personal guide to their inner lives, later readers have had only his written works to guide them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSteiner, however, did give a few lectures on inner development--especially on beginning a path of practice. This book now collects these lectures--some of which have never been in English--for the first time. It also contains a number of the basic meditations and exercises shared by Steiner with his students.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere readers will find descriptions of various practical exercises, including exercises for the moral qualities that students must develop, and for the various qualities of consciousness that inner development requires.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is not only for beginners. Wherever you are on the path, this book will be your companion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rudolf Steiner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0880104643\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780880104647\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Steiner Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.41h x 5.47w x 0.31d","brand":"Rudolf Steiner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43986751291647,"sku":"9780880104647","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3cf2d680-43eb-4cd1-ab54-38904d1354a0.jpg?v=1683284981","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/first-steps-in-inner-development-rudolf-steiner-9780880104647","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
