What does this mean? At the end of the eighteenth century, the Archangel Michael revealed the new mystery that has manifested on Earth as spiritual science--Anthroposophy. Its essence involves the renewal of our knowledge of the mysteries of karma and human destiny. Those who are drawn to this school have a special relationship to the human faculty of thinking--their inner feeling for truth has the strength of iron. This feeling for truth helps them to become companions of Michael at the threshold of the spiritual world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese talks deal with the spiritual path of Anthroposophy in its Christian-Rosicrucian aspect. Tomberg speaks openly and honestly about meditation, the various stages of consciousness (\u003ci\u003eimagination\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003einspiration\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eintuition\u003c\/i\u003e), the \"guardian of the threshold,\" and the esoteric trials one encounters along the way.
