TRANSLATOR'S
NOTE
Being
deeply interested in Dr. Steiner's work and teachings, and desirous
of sharing with my English-speaking friends the many invaluable
glimpses of Truth which are to be found therein, I decided upon the
translation of the present volume. It is due to the kind co-operation
of several friends who prefer to be anonymous that this task has been
accomplished, and I wish to express my hearty thanks for the literary
assistance rendered by them — also to thank Dr. Peipers of
Munich for permission to reproduce his excellent photograph of the
author.
The
special value of this volume consists, I think, in the fact that ho
advice is given and no statement made which is not based on the
personal experience of the author, who is, in the truest sense, both
a mystic and an occultist.
If the
present volume should meet with a reception justify-in: a further
venture, we propose translating and issuing during the coming year a
further series of articles by Dr. Steiner in continuation of the same
subject, and a third volume will consist of the articles now
appearing in the pages of The Theosophist, entitled “The
Education of Children.”
