We see [in the mystery dramas] direct encounters of someone (Johannes) with their own double--or Doppelgänger. We see the appearance of beneficent spiritual beings on stage, such as the Guardian of the Threshold--and adversarial ones, such as Lucifer and Ahriman, experiencing how the latter two beings work and reveal (or do not reveal) themselves. We experience many forms of spiritual deceptions, trials, and breakthroughs. We experience elemental nature beings (in the fourth play) and the presence of those who have died. -- Richard Ramsbotham (introduction)

Rudolf Steiner's four modern mystery dramas are powerful portrayals of the complex laws of reincarnation and karma, transporting us to landscapes of soul and spirit where suprasensory beings are visible, active, and influential. Through perception of those hidden worlds, we are given tools to comprehend the background of the struggles we face in everyday life--both in human relationships and in our attempts to practice spiritual development.
