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

Steiner reveals historical developments from the esoteric schools of the earliest antiquity, through personalities such as Plato, Aristotle, or Francis of Assisi, and other spiritual figures, to the modern pressing moral problems.
These lectures have been translated from the text entitled: Der Mensch im Lichte von Okkultismus. Theosophie und Philosophie, published as Volume No. 137 in the Complete Centenary Edition of the works of Rudolf Steiner in the original German.
