The Mission of Esoteric Science in Our Time

The mission of secret science is to make humanity aware that it is possible to penetrate into the higher worlds in these three ways, that it is possible to attain a deeper knowledge than the ordinary and to expand it. And when we ask ourselves: Is it curiosity, is it a mere thirst for knowledge that leads us to secret science? Then we must answer: No, it is something quite different! What it is — what many who come to secret science today, even if they do not know it clearly, at least vaguely suspect — is something that lies dormant deep within the sensory science of our time, but which can never emerge from it, and about which we can speak in the lecture on natural science. It is not about knowledge, but about life, about the continuation and enhancement of life. Many people worry that esoteric science will distract them from immediate life. But the opposite is true. It makes people capable and places them in life. They only need to have the ability and strength to enter the realm of esoteric science.
