If you look through the program that has been presented to you for these winter lectures, you will see that the wording has been changed. Some lectures refer to secret science, others to Spiritual Science. This has been done deliberately in each individual case, although Spiritual Science, as represented here, is quite synonymous with what is called secret science. First of all, do not understand the word “secret” in the composition of secret science or secret scientific as meaning something absolutely secret and obscure. The lecture itself will show you why this particular word, secret science, is used for the sum of truths and insights that we want to talk about over the course of the winter.
