Путь розенкрейцеров к инициации в свете макрокосма и микрокосма: Переведено и отредактировано с примечаниями и диаграммами Джоном Барнвеллом

The two volumes The Way of Initiation and Initiation and its Results by Rudolf Steiner are the earliest versions of his monumental work Knowledge of the Higher Worlds and Its Attainment (GA 10). I selected these earliest versions that were based on a series of articles by Rudolf Steiner from when he was still associated as the General Secretary of the German Section of the Theosophical Society. I decided to once again release these volumes as my associates and I published these versions through Trismegistus Press back in 1980, in a single volume edition. The poetical mood of these early writings captures the tone of these early years that were so seminal towards building the foundation for the Spiritual-Science or Anthroposophy of Dr. Rudolf Steiner. To render it more accessible to the modern reader I have revised the translations and added the 1910 lecture cycle Macrocosm and Microcosm as it seamlessly adds to the profound depths of the subject matter at hand. It is illustrated throughout with the little known esoteric engravings by Crispijn van de Passe, the elder (c. 1564-1637).
