In the higher sense, it means 'You are that.' [\u003ci\u003eTat tsvam asi\u003c\/i\u003e]. Above all, in the highest sense, it means to recognize oneself in the world and to understand that saying of Novalis from \u003ci\u003eThe Disciple at Sais\u003c\/i\u003e... 'One was successful. He lifted the veil of the goddess at Sais. But what did he see? Miracle of miracles! He saw himself.' To find oneself--not in egoistic inwardness, but selflessly in the outer world--that is true self-knowledge.\" --\u003cb\u003eRudolf Steiner\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRudolf Steiner is perhaps best known for his influence and wisdom in the fields of education, agriculture, medicine, science, and art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is often forgotten that it was as a spiritual teacher that he made these contributions. Unfortunately, while his immediate students had the advantage of Steiner as a personal guide to their inner lives, later readers have had only his written works to guide them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSteiner, however, did give a few lectures on inner development--especially on beginning a path of practice. This book now collects these lectures--some of which have never been in English--for the first time. It also contains a number of the basic meditations and exercises shared by Steiner with his students.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere readers will find descriptions of various practical exercises, including exercises for the moral qualities that students must develop, and for the various qualities of consciousness that inner development requires.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is not only for beginners.
