Rudolf Steiner's superb thesis provides deep insight into spiritual
science, and the history of mankind as viewed through the
philosophy of the anthroposophy movement he founded. An Outline of
Esoteric Science attempts to reconcile mankind's spiritual being
with the scientific exactitude which had emerged among scholars in
the 19th century. Steiner lays out the spiritual realms which are
invisible to us, attempting to use a defined precision similar to
that which had emerged in science. In the final section, this book
refers to the spiritual development and contemplation necessary for
individuals to see the spiritual realms and planes which comprise
existence and the universe. The means by which individuals may
train themselves introspectively to see are detailed by Steiner,
whose theosophical philosophy was, by the time of this book's
publication in 1909, well-developed.
H. P. Blavatsky introduces and clarifies her theosophical movement
to the curious reader in this detailed text, which is written in
the style of questions and answers. The Theosophic Society
attracted popular interest for its esoteric and unusual nature;
theosophy unites numerous mystical, spiritual and occult principles
with the stated mission of finding the hidden truths of existence.
This was accomplished through investigating ancient societies and
writings, together with Medieval and Renaissance era authors,
occultists and other mystics. With The Key to Theosophy, Blavatsky
intended to demystify and clarify many of the finer points of the
movement she founded. She not only discusses what topics the
Theosophical Society has an interest in, but the organizational
structure and leadership under which it operates The agreed beliefs
among its members concerning man's place on the Earth, and how
nature affects and controls humans perceptibly and imperceptibly,
are likewise detailed.
