Rudolf Steiner tells us:
“The three stages of occult schooling are called Preparation (Catharsis), Enlightenment, and Initiation. During the first stage or level, man’s being is prepared in such a manner as to allow the delicate structures of the soul to emerge. On the level of enlightenment man gains the means of perceiving in the soul realm, and through initiation he attains the faculty of expressing himself in the spirit realm.”
“The Buddha gave heavenly enlightenment to his pupils; Christ in His parables gave earthly enlightenment to the crowd.”
“The Nirmanakaya of Buddha worked as an inspiration into the “I” of John the Baptist. That which manifested itself to the shepherds and hovered above the head of the Nathan Jesus extended its power into John the Baptist, whose preaching was primarily the re-awakened preaching of Buddha.”
“My book, Knowledge of the Higher Worlds and its Attainment stems from ancient traditions. Because it is essential that the truth become known, the guiding spirits of evolution have given permission for the publication of these rules.”
