Unseen Worlds and Hidden Realities


Born in 1861, Rudolf Steiner was an Austrian philosopher, social reformer, architect, economist and esotericist. Steiner gained initial recognition at the end of the nineteenth century as a literary critic and published philosophical works including The Philosophy of Freedom.

Very few scientists today are willing to explore metaphysics to examine life beyond ordinary perception in order to make a connection between the seen and the unseen. That said, Rudolf Steiner devoted much of his work to the task of peering behind the veil, sharing his insight into the deeper nature of life and of the world beyond, the world of the unseen. ― Robert Sepehr 




“There slumber in every human being faculties by means of which he can acquire for himself a knowledge of higher worlds. Mystics, Gnostics, Theosophists — all speak of a world of soul and spirit which for them is just as real as the world we see with our physical eyes and touch with our physical hands.” 
― Rudolf Steiner, How to Know Higher Worlds

“Little is accomplished if one tries to understand these words theoretically. Much more can be gained when one creates sacred moments in life when one is willing to energetically fill one's soul with the living content of such words.” 
― Rudolf Steiner, Anthroposophy in Everyday Life

“Descriptions of inner, spiritual processes are much more liable to misunderstanding than descriptions of events in the physical world. Such misunderstandings arise easily because the life of the soul is in constant movement and because we fail to bear in mind that the life of the soul is very different from life in the physical world.”
― Rudolf Steiner

“It should not be expected that what is spiritual can be brought before the eyes, before the senses. It must be experienced inwardly and spiritually.”
― Rudolf Steiner

“The Oriental thinks everything in the sense-perceptible world is 'maya'; everything perceived by our senses and all thinking connected with sense perceptions is 'maya,' the great illusion. The only reality is the reality of the soul. What a human being achieves in his or her soul is reality.” 
―Rudolf Steiner

“When human beings meet together seeking the spirit with unity of purpose then they will also find their way to each other.”
― Rudolf Steiner

“May my soul bloom in love for all existence.”
― Rudolf Steiner
