Nineteenth-Century Spiritual Low Point
- Steiner argues the 19th century lost understanding of the exoteric way to Christ due to a turning away from spiritual worlds.
- He frames this loss as a necessary low point before a new spiritual epoch could emerge.
Theosophy As Living Tradition
- Steiner traces a living theosophical tradition from the 18th century that survived into modern spiritual science.
- He asserts modern theosophy can become a form of science understandable by every heart and soul.
Ettinger And The Turingian Inner Light
- Steiner recounts Ettinger's connection to a simple Turingian teacher Volker who possessed 'inner light'.
- He equates that 'inner light' with experiences from his own book Knowledge of the Higher Worlds.
