Der grosse Holunderbaum - Eine Einführung in die Esoterik

In the introduction, Herbert Fritsche informs us: I do not want to hold the reader back with the anthropological prerequisites of true esotericism. If he understands that man is fundamentally sent into risk, that failure harms him less than the illusion of security, that God does not desire seekers of metaphysical escape routes, but rather the fulfillment of humanity from the sensual to the supersensual, then he knows what is necessary and thus clears up at the very beginning the many pseudo-esoteric paths and schools that lack exactly that. And when he further states: One cannot return home to God; one can only move toward Him, then we understand how serious he is about this.
