Rudolf Steiner and Initiation by Paul Eugen Schiller

Schiller systematically characterizes the anthroposophical path of inner spiritual training, drawing on Rudolf Steiner's writings and lectures over an extended period of time. Among the topics discussed are: the fundamental moods; development of the six attributes; sense-free thinking, feeling, and willing; meditation; and crossing the threshold. This is a helpful, compact overview of Steiner's path of inner development.

Later, he moved to the Goetheanum, where he established a simple physics laboratory and devoted his life to developing Steiner's indications related to electricity, earthly magnetism, heat radiation, sensitive flames, etheric formative forces, the four ethers, resonant oscillation, and much more. His written works include Rudolf Steiner and Initiation and The Schiller File.
