“Not everyone can immediately achieve spiritual vision; but the discoveries of those who have it can be health-giving life nourishment for all. The results of supersensible knowledge, when properly employed in life, prove to be not impractical, but rather, practical in the highest sense … " - Rudolf Steiner “The acquisition of higher knowledge is not the end, but the means to an end; the end consists in the attainment, thanks to this knowledge, of greater and truer self-confidence, a higher degree of courage, and a magnanimity and perseverance such as cannot, as a rule, be acquired in the lower world … " - Rudolf Steiner “The student places all the higher knowledge he has acquired at the service of humanity.” - Rudolf Steiner In this first part of our the Foundation Studies/Core Studies the focus is on studying the book "Knowledge of the Higher Worlds" by Rudolf Steiner, and the quest for gaining or deepening the understanding of the path of self development as given in Anthroposophy. Students will be guided through this via the exercises and assignments given in this course, and the feedback you will receive when submitting your work, questions and concerns. |
