An Outline of Occult Science

I have never been able to make any sense out of Steiner or his social philosophy. His book on the occult is equally nonsensical. There is however a very significant part of Steiners work which I believe is a must read for anyone and everyone interested in nature, ecology and the functionality of society. I speak of his book and many lectures on bees. The common honeybee very properly fascinated the social reformer in Steiner. Considering what has happened to bee colonies throughout the world in the last decade his writings on bee society and the "protocol of love" which he imagines he finds in that society are truly fascinating. His work in this area is both interesting and informative and I highly recommend it to the reader.

Unfortunately the bee related works are not as yet available on ManyBooks however they may be found in many public and university libraries

It's difficult to imagine that someone actually had a higher vision which enabled him to experience what he talks about. Not bullcrap vision or chanelling or anything like that. Steiner's body of work is tremendous in its complexity and amount. After reading a lot of it, it becomes clear that he really did have the vision.

Above all, keep your personal integrity while having as open a mind as possible when you read this book. Read it slowly and be sure you understand the concepts before moving on. The concepts aren't that difficult, just unfamiliar. Be critical as it will help you to understand. Do not be skeptical or, heaven forbid, cynical as you will not be able make sense of it.

Keep an open mind.
