Only recently has it become clear that on most occasions Rudolf Steiner would visit a city to give a lecture, either to members or to the general public, and also hold a meeting of the Esoteric Section where he also gave a talk. These talks were intended to provide his most advanced students with the esoteric background of his ongoing spiritual research. The three volumes of Steiner's "esoteric lessons" - recently published in German - are based on notes taken by his special students. The talks are profound, intimate, and revealing and will be a major resource for serious students of Steiner's work and anyone interested in Anthroposophy and Western esotericism. Covering a vast range of subjects in a continuous flow of lectures (more than 1500 pages), Rudolf Steiner's esoteric lessons will surely become an essential part of every library of spiritual works.
