Without having any supplemental texts for reference, the "flash cards" like instructions appear to be the basic structural skeletons of Rudolf Steiner's cosmology and of his description of the human being as composed of various physical and spiritual aspects are based on Helena Blavatsky's schema. Else the diagrams are functional basis of the work of Annie Besant, Theosophist, that there is a Path, which leads to what is known as “Initiation” and through Initiation to the Perfecting of Man (compare with Self Healing, Yoga and Destiny). A Path, which is recognized in all great religions. She points out that it does not matter which faith one belongs to. She says, that one can take a shorter Path if he/she wants to and describes this Path as a more difficult way in which man evolves more rapidly than in the ordinary course of human and natural evolution. Warrants more research into the specific illustrator. Scarce information. Slightly darkened and worm at edges, else very good. Black ink on card. 13 x 7 inches. Nine printed illustrated diagrams on folded cards.
