"Spiritual Initiation in the Western Tradition" - Robert Gilbert, Ph.D.

$34.00

The Western Esoteric Spiritual Tradition is almost invisible to the "uninitiated."

An "underground" Western Spiritual Initiation Tradition has been maintained for thousands of years. This tradition is the force behind Christian Mysticism, Alchemy, Hermeticism, Rosicrucian Studies, and much more. Due to threat of Heresy and the secretive nature of all Ancient Mystery Schools, the Western Esoteric Tradition has been kept securely hidden from the public eye for centuries. One of the greatest 20th Century Masters of the Western Esoteric Tradition was Rudolf Steiner. During his shortened life, Rudolf Steiner gave thousands of transcribed lectures, producing over 330 volumes of material. Additionally, Steiner wrote 48 books. Rudolf Steiner founded the Anthroposophical Society, the Waldorf Educational System, BioDynamic Farming, Anthroposophical Medicine, and the unique form of dance Eurythmy. One of Rudolf Steiner's missions in life was to reveal the Western Esoteric Tradition to the public. Spiritual vision told Steiner that the time for secrecy was over and that the Spiritual Science of the Western Tradition was ready to be revealed the masses. It is almost impossible to find a good starting point to begin study of the immensely valuable material locked up in the Western Esoteric Tradition. Steiner produced a vast amount of material - opening the door to the Western Tradition - but the sheer mass of material makes understanding it difficult without a knowledgable guide. Robert Gilbert's "Spiritual Initiation in the Western Tradition" solves this dilemma by grounding the student in the key concepts of the Western Esoteric Tradition.
