Week 6
There has arisen from its narrow limits
My self and finds itself
As revelation of all worlds
Within the sway of time and space;
The world, as archetype divine,
Displays to me at every turn
The truth of my own likeness.
Week 32
I feel my own force, bearing fruit
And gaining strength to give me to the world.
My inmost being I feel charged with power
To turn with clearer insight
Toward the weaving of life's destiny.
—Translation by Ruth and Hans Pusch

Six lectures given to workmen at the Goetheanum, Dornach, Switzerland. Lectures I and II, were translated by M. Cotterell; Lectures III and VI, by D. S. Osmond; Lectures IV and V, by V. E. Evans.
The lectures in this volume have been selected from the very large number given regularly by Dr. Steiner to the workmen employed at the Goetheanum. The two preceding volumes of the same series contain lectures dealing with the religious life and ideas of ancient peoples and the significance of the Christian impulse.
