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 humans are fundamentally sent into risk, that even failure harms him less than the supposed sense of security, that God does not want seekers of metaphysical emergency exits but rather the fulfillment of humanity from the sensual to the supersensual, then he knows what is necessary and thus immediately dispels the many pseudo-esoteric paths and schools that lack exactly this understanding. And when he further explains: One cannot return to God; one can only move towards Him, we understand how serious he is about this.
