Dr. Steiner begins the lesson by pointing out that there are not two opposing schools of esoteric training within the Theosophical Society. He has emphasized this many times before. However, this rumor keeps resurfacing, and statements are circulated that suggest that such an opposition between the two schools of esoteric life, as they currently exist within the Theosophical Society, actually exists. This opposition is therefore categorically denied. The actual state of affairs is that at the Munich Congress, the relationship between Annie Besant's school and that of Dr. Steiner underwent a change in that Dr. Steiner, the former head of the Esoteric School, is no longer subordinate but has been made an associate. The subordination was transformed into cooperation. Therefore, these two schools now exist side by side, supporting each other, but are far from fighting each other.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Esoteric Lesson","site_heading":"The Ego's Journey: From Physical Embodiment to Spiritual Transformation","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.
