Calendar of the Soul

Northern Hemisphere

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.

Southern Hemisphere

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

Fruits of Anthroposophy
GA 78

These talks offer a fresh and exceptionally clear approach to the anthroposophical path of knowledge. Imagination is described as broadening our experience of memory to cosmic dimensions. Inspiration is described as an extension of forgetting. And Intuition is shown to be the way that the spiritual world bears fruit for the future of human evolution. Steiner also discusses the difference between our causal explanations of natural world around us and the “moral world order” and its relationship to human morality and freedom.

Anthroposophy and its methods are described not as a new “religion” but as a path of knowledge that helps us to overcome our habitual ways of seeing and and to truly perceive both the sensory world and the suprasensory world.
