Summary

We are proud to announce a new edition of this masterwork of Western, Rosicrucian esotericism. Das Geheimwissenshaft im Umrisss (previously known as Occult Science) now joins our "Classics in Anthroposophy Series in a new translation. In this basic, foundational work of Anthroposophy or Spiritual Science, readers will discover the creation and evolution of humanity at the heart of vast, invisible processes of cosmic evolution. Descriptions of the different members of the human being, both in themselves and in relation to sleep and death, are followed by a profound investigation of evolution and the spiritual beings who participate in it. There follows a detailed, practical guide to the methods or exercises, including the Rose Cross meditation, by which such initiation knowledge may be attained.
