The method of representation is arranged in such a way that the reader may grow into what is depicted so that in the course of reading it becomes for him a kind of self-conference. If this soliloquy takes on such a form that thereby hitherto concealed forces which can be awakened in every soul reveal themselves then the reading leads to a real inner work of the soul and the latter can see itself gradually urged on to that soul-journeying which truly advances towards the beholding of the spiritual world. What has to be imparted therefore has been given in the form of eight Meditations which can be actually practised. If this is done they can be adapted for imparting to the soul through its own inner deepening that about which they speak. It has been my aim on the one hand to give something to those readers who have already made themselves conversant with the literature dealing with the domain of the supersensible as it is here understood. Thus through the style of the description through the communication directly connecting with the soul's experience perhaps those who have knowledge of supersensible life will here find something that may appear of importance to them. On the other hand many a one can find that just through this method of representation profit may be gained by those who yet stand far distant from the achievements of Spiritual Science. Although this work is intended as an amplification of my other writings in the domain of Spiritual Science it should nevertheless be possible to read it independently. It has been my endeavour in my books Theosophy and Occult Science to represent the things as they show themselves to observation when it ascends to the Spiritual. In these works the method of representation is descriptive and its direction prescribed by conformity to the law manifesting out of the things themselves. In this A Road to Self-Knowledge the method of representation is different. Herein is stated that which can be experienced by a soul which sets out on the path to the Spirit in a certain manner. The treatise may therefore be regarded as an account of experiences of the soul only it must be taken into consideration that the experiences which can be gained in such a way as is here described must assume an individual form in each soul according to its own peculiarity. It has been my endeavour to do justice to this fact so that one can also imagine that what is depicted here has been actually lived through by an individual soul exactly as represented. The title of this treatise is therefore A Road to Self-knowledge. On that account it may serve the pu
