# Theosophy by Rudolf Steiner

Translated by Catherine E. Creeger Introduction by Michael Holdrege. Written in 1904. Published December 1994. 160 pages.

Theosophy is a key work for gaining a solid footing in spiritual reality as described by Rudolf Steiner. It is organized into four parts. First, Steiner builds a comprehensive understanding of human nature: physical bodily nature; soul qualities; spirit being, or I-being; and the higher spiritual aspects. This leads us to Steiner’s description of the human being as sevenfold:  
  
Material, physical body  
Ether body, or body of life force  
Sentient soul body  
Mind soul  
Spirit-filled consciousness soul  
Life spirit  
Spirit body

In the next section, Steiner offers an extraordinary overview of the laws of reincarnation and the principles of karma, as we pass from one life to the next. This prepares us for the third section, in which he shows the various ways in which we live—during life on earth and after death and in the three worlds of body, soul, and spirit.

Finally, we are given a succinct description of the path of knowledge, along which each person can begin to understand the marvelous and harmonious complexity of the psycho-spiritual worlds in their fullness.

The sequel to _Theosophy_, originally formulated to be a final chapter, is _[Esoteric Science](https://www.jpibiodynamics.org/products/outline-esoteric-science-rudolf-steiner)._
