| The '''path of spiritual training''' is a '''path of knowledge''' which serves the spiritual development and leads the spiritual disciple step by step to [[initiation]] through suitable concentration and [[meditation]] exercises (soul exercises). He works on his [[etheric body]] after he has purified his [[astral body]] in preparation. Once he has completed this, he is an [[initiate]].

| {{GZ|Everything that works only on the astral body is only preparation for the actual esoteric training, for the actual occult training. Occult training begins where we learn to work into the etheric or life body, where man is enabled, through the guidance given him by the occult teacher, to transform the temperaments, inclinations and habits, where man becomes another. With this comes only the insight into the real higher world, that man becomes another man.|96|258f}}

| == An important principle of occult development ==

| | |
| {{GZ|An important principle in occult development is that of attaching no other value to oneself than that which comes from the achievements in the physical world within the present incarnation. This is extremely important. Any other value must first come on the basis of a higher development, which can only come about when one first stands firm on the ground that one considers oneself to be nothing other than what one has been able to achieve in this incarnation. This is also natural if one looks at the matter objectively, for what one has achieved in the present incarnation is also the result of previous incarnations; it is what karma has made of us up to now. What karma still makes of us we must first have made; we must not include that in our value.|136|41}}
