Individual Spiritual Beings and Their Action in the Soul of Man

Nine lectures delivered in different cities are united by the main theme: the interaction of the spiritual world and the individual person.

Rudolf Steiner talks about the interventions of various spiritual beings in human life, their influence on his life, health, and even post-mortal path.

Examples are given of how Western and Eastern occult brotherhoods and sects (such as the sect of the soul catchers) achieve narrow group interests through certain rituals and manipulations. It is shown why mediumship and spiritism ultimately carry only distorted notions of spiritual life, leading to the emergence of false theories and worldviews and various abuses. Information is provided on how to oppose occult manipulations; the main means against such delusions and abuses is the knowledge of the spiritual world, conducted by appropriate methods that correspond to the characteristics of our era.
