Spiritual Threshold


There is a point at which things happen.
Royal River, December 2010Water in a teakettle must reach 100o C (at sea level) before it will boil.
The air temperature must drop below 0o C before rain will turn to snow.
So it is with humans, as well. Most of us will tolerate almost anything (pain, sadness, loneliness) to a certain point. Then we find we no longer can. We have reached our “change” point. We are no longer able stay the same.


The Threshold of the Spiritual World

By Rudolf Steiner

GA 17

This small book contains 16 short sections, each section treating one or another aspect of Spiritual Science. The last section discusses the relation between this book and two others which deal with similar topics, namely Theosophy and Occult Science — an Outline..

In addition, clear and succinct summary chapters are interspersed in between the longer and more detailed sections, making this a very easily accessible book.

It is presented here with the kind permission of the Rudolf Steiner Nachlassverwaltung, Dornach, Switzerland.
