At the heart of Rudolf Steiner's spiritual philosophy is the esoteric path of inner development that can lead to self-transformation. In these lectures, Steiner shows how - by developing certain qualities such as clear thinking, inner tranquillity and positivity, as well as through meditative exercises - it is possible to break out of the shadowy, brain-bound world of everyday consciousness, and to develop a new consciousness in touch with the divine. In contrast to many of the New Age paths available today, Steiner's methods are based on the western mystery tradition, as opposed to older, Eastern teachings. This modern path is, he suggests, a metamorphosis of the Eastern paths, and is best suited to modern consciousness.
