Much that in earlier times might be safely left outside the realm of consciousness will now have to be raised into consciousness. Unlawful methods of acquiring impulses connected with the future. “Propagandists by Action.” The Order of murderers known as the “Thugs.” Monotheism and man's relationship to his Guardian Angel. The battle of Michael with the Dragon. Aims of occult brotherhoods in connection with the acquisition of power. Contact with the Dead. The necessity for establishing real relationships with the spiritual world. The thought as an actual power in the soul. Two lectures given in Zurich, 6th and 13th November, 1917 — an authorised translation from shorthand reports unrevised by the Lecturer. These lectures are a part of the work: Individual Spiritual Beings Working in the Human Soul, the title in German is: Individuelle Geistwesen und Ihr Wirken in der Seele des Menschen.
