Item Description:

Offered here is the 1923 First American Edition of Knowledge of the Higher Worlds and Its Attainment by Rudolf Steiner, published by Anthroposophic Press. This is the revised English-language edition of one of Steiners most influential and widely read works, presented here in its earliest U.S. printing.

A foundational text in the philosophy of Anthroposophy, the book provides practical guidance on how individuals can awaken spiritual faculties and develop conscious access to higher realms of perception. Steiner outlines steps such as concentration, meditation, moral discipline, and inner clarity to foster the soul's growth toward spiritual insight.

Originally delivered as lectures and essays in 1904–1905, this edition reflects Steiner's revised and authorized presentation of the path to higher knowledge, including:

• The stages of initiation
• The development of "Lotus flowers" (spiritual organs of perception)
• Encounters with spiritual beings and the “Guardian of the Threshold”
• Techniques to strengthen thought, courage, and self-discipline

Highly valued among students of esotericism, occult science, theosophy, and spiritual development, this edition represents a key historical document in the global dissemination of Steiner's teachings.
