"This book recounts experiences I had during the spiritual research published in my book 'Michaelic Yoga – Creating a New Etheric Body and Etheric Individuality for Oneself.' Normally, my aim is to communicate the objective results of my research, not what I experienced during it. However, an objective description of what the soul goes through during spiritual research can be valuable for the study of anthroposophy and for those who are themselves walking the spiritual path."

Through faithful work, the author writes, the spiritual path can become a living spiritual being—a friend in the realms of soul and spirit. This being can blossom into a spiritual community or school. One can converse with this spiritual school, including one's own teacher, and create something together. In 2012, Ben-Aharon encountered an obstacle in his research. After struggling on his own, he felt he could not progress without his colleagues from the spiritual world. The intimate soul experiences described in this book took place during a gathering with them—a celebratory occasion with a dedicated community of spiritual beings.
