Lectures Section
During the re-founding of the Anthroposophical Society at Christmas 1923,
Rudolf Steiner also reconstituted the “Esoteric School” which
had originally functioned in Germany from 1904 until 1914, when the
outset of the First World War made it's continuance impossible. However,
the original school was only for a relatively few selected individuals,
whereas the new school was incorporated into the School for Spiritual
Science at the Goetheanum in Dornach, Switzerland.

During the re-founding of the Anthroposophical Society at Christmas 1923,
Rudolf Steiner also reconstituted the “Esoteric School” which
had originally functioned in Germany from 1904 until 1914, when the
outset of the First World War made it's continuance impossible. However,
the original school was only for a relatively few selected individuals,
whereas the new school was incorporated into the School for Spiritual
Science at the Goetheanum in Dornach, Switzerland.
By the time Rudolf Steiner had given the first nineteen First Class
Lessons (Volumes One and Two), so many new members had joined, or wanted
to join, that he felt it necessary to recapitulate the lessons already
given rather than continue to advance. However, although the mantras
(verses) used are the same as in Volume One, the descriptions are
sufficiently different to justify a new volume. Furthermore, much new
and valuable material is introduced, which is not in the previous volumes.
