![]() Nevertheless, these elements of humanity and the universe form the foundation of the sensory world. ![]() Whereas the findings of natural science are derived from observations made through the senses, the findings of spiritual science are "occult," inasmuch as they arise from direct observation of realities hidden to ordinary human perception. Steiner even referred to it as "an epitome of anthroposophic spiritual science." In a systematic way, he lays out fundamental facts concerning the nature and constitution of the human being and, in chronological order, the history of the universe and humankind. However, of all his books, this one perhaps comes closest. Because his research was so vast and conducted over such a long period of time, no single book can be said to contain the whole of his spiritual teaching. The Anthroposophy of Rudolf Steiner is not a theoretical system but the results of research based on direct observation. With the exception of his Anthroposophical Leading Thoughts and his Autobiography, Steiner's important writings belong largely to his earliest work. Of the books he found time to write, four titles are considered indispensable introductions to his teaching as a whole: How to Know Higher Worlds An Outline of Esoteric Science Intuitive Thinking As a Spiritual Path and Theosophy. Given his energetic involvement in practical initiatives and extensive lecturing, Steiner had very little time to write.
