Rudolf Steiner (1861–1925) was born in the small village of Kraljevec,

Austro-Hungarian Empire (now in Croatia), where he grew up.

As a young man, he lived in Weimar and Berlin, where he became a well-published scientific,

literary, and philosophical scholar, known especially for his work with Goethe’s scientific writings.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, he began to develop his early philosophical principles

into an approach to systematic research into psychological and spiritual phenomena.

Formally beginning his spiritual teaching career under the auspices of the Theosophical Society,

Steiner came to use the term Anthroposophy (and spiritual science) for his philosophy,

spiritual research, and findings. The influence of Steiner’s multifaceted genius

has led to innovative and holistic approaches in medicine, various therapies,

philosophy, religious renewal, Waldorf education, education for special needs,

threefold economics, biodynamic agriculture, Goethean science, architecture,

and the arts of drama, speech, and eurythmy. In 1924,

Rudolf Steiner founded the General Anthroposophical Society,

which today has branches throughout the world. He died in Dornach, Switzerland.

Religious and spiritual writings have always made reference to beings from the spiritual hierarchies,

especially those known in Christian tradition as Angels.

These spirits are the closest to human beings and act as our invisible guides and companions.

They influence the life of the individual as well as the evolution of humanity and the cosmos.

From his own clairvoyant vision, Rudolf Steiner confirmed the existence of such spiritual beings

and showed how modern minds could gain access to their world.

As he explains in these inspiring lectures,

it is important for us to understand and cooperate with the work of the Angels

today as this is crucial for the further development of humanity.
