Traditional folklore has spoken of guardian angels who guide & protect us However although there are numerous stories of the miraculous intervention of these beings some people still write them off as myth & superstition Based on his own personal experience & cognition Rudolf Steiner spoke of guardian angels & other spiritual beings as a reality Their existence he said is a spiritual & scientific fact that can be researched & studied by clairvoyance One of his aims was to enable people to connect again with these spiritual beings not only for their own benefit but also for the benefit of the other kingdom of nature & the whole destiny of the earth's evolution In his writings & lectures Steiner intended to lead people from belief to recognition knowledge & understanding of spiritual beings In these six specially selected lectures which until now have lain hidden away in very early publications or journals he describes the role of the guardian angel & discusses our relationship to the heavenly hierarchies of spiritual beings as a whole & how they shape our human form as a result of their cosmic activity As many people today are awakening to angelic guidance in their daily lives & are seeking it consciously these lectures will help them to understand their experiences & to make their communication more conscious
