Records of nineteen lectures and four private teaching sessions in Berlin 1903 - 1904.

These are Rudolf Steiner's earliest internal lectures within the framework of the Theosophical Society, transmitted through audience transcripts, in which he takes up the theosophy of the time, but already prepares the basic elements of anthroposophy.
