Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) was an Austrian philosopher. Writer Colin Wilson said,
"We may even conclude that Swedenborg, Blake and Madame Blavatsky had all developed the same power of amplification, and that Steiner's visions of angelic hierarchies are no truer than Swedenborg's visions of heaven and hell, Blake's visions of the daughters of Albion, or Madame Blavatsky's visions of the giants of Atlantis." (Rudolf Steiner: The Man and his Vision, 1985)
