Steiner offers a detailed description of the functions and organs of the three aspects of the human being, as well as the objective realms to which they belong. Just as the physical body originates in and belongs to the material world, so too do the human soul and spirit belong to their specific realms. These are the dimensions through which all human beings travel in the life after death, and in which--after passing the \"midnight hour\"--we begin to seek our karma and destiny in a new life. \u003ci\u003eTheosophy\u003c\/i\u003e features one of the most comprehensive and condensed of all Steiner's accounts of these realms, as well as the events our immortal being experiences in passing through them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book ends with a chapter on the modern \"path of knowledge,\" in which Steiner describes exercises by means of which everyone can develop the latent powers of perception needed to know the higher worlds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume is a translation of \u003ci\u003e Theosophie, Einführung in übersinnliche Welterkenntnis und Menschenbestimmung \u003c\/i\u003e (GA 9)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rudolf Steiner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1855841312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781855841314\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rudolf Steiner Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/13\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.54h x 5.62w x 0.56d","brand":"Rudolf Steiner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47135429296383,"sku":"9781855841314","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_31a73d43-dcfa-49e0-9a6e-df0363f3b095.jpg?v=1755010123","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/theosophy-rudolf-steiner-9781855841314","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
