I have re-recorded these lectures, which are now entitled, True and False Paths in Spiritual Investigations" I am keeping the older recording up in case people have that older copy but, alas, the reading is very very fast in places and I apologize for that.

True and False Paths in Spiritual Investigation CW 243, a cycle of eleven lectures by Rudolf Steiner given in Torquay and Devon, England from the 11th to the 22nd of August, 1924. Translated by A.H. Parker and brought to you with the permission of Rudolf Steiner Press of London.

[This is a re-reading of the same cycle that was previously recorded under the title "INITIATE CONSCIOUSNESS".]
