the Pedagogical Section Council
Anthroposophy communicates knowledge that is gained in a spiritual way…For at the very frontier where the knowledge derived from sense perception ceases, there is opened, through the human soul itself, the further outlook into the spiritual world. MAKE THIS BIGGER

An Introduction to the School for Spiritual Science
At the heart of the Anthroposophical Society is the School for Spiritual Science, an institution intended to be an esoteric school for spiritual scientific research and study.
During the course of 1924 Rudolf Steiner held 19 esoteric lessons in which he introduced his followers to a series of meditations (mantras) along with instructions and guidelines for their use. This set of lessons is known as the First Class and they are made available to those who become members of the School.
After Steiner’s death in 1925 the members of the Executive Council (Vorstand) at the Goetheanum began to convey the contents of these lessons to members of the First Class. Other leaders in the Anthroposophical Society were also assigned to take on this task and circles of Class holders grew in various countries around the world.
Today members of the Anthroposophical Society have the opportunity to become members of the First Class and to participate in the instructional lessons. Learn more…
