322. Natural Science and Its Boundaries: Paths to the Spirit in East and West 03 Oct 1920, Dornach
Tr. Dorothy S. Osmond, Charles Waterman

Rudolf Steiner
This book was a link between pure philosophy and philosophy based on Anthroposophy. When this came out, my other manuscript was returned to me. Nothing was enclosed apart from my fee, the idea being that any claim I might make had thus been met.
Anyone who has lovingly immersed himself in the true Schelling and Hegel, and has thus been able to see, with love in his heart, the limitations of Western philosophy, should turn his attention to Anthroposophy. He should work to bring about an anthroposophically orientated Spiritual Science for the West, so that we come to possess something of spiritual origin to compare with what the East has created through the interaction of systole and diastole.
314. Fundamentals of Anthroposophic Medicine: Lecture II 27 Oct 1922, Stuttgart
Tr. Alice Wuslin

Rudolf Steiner
To begin with you may find it offensive to hear it said in anthroposophy that the human being, as he stands before us in the physical world, consists of a physically organized system, an etherically organized system, an astrally organized system, and what characterizes him as an ego organization.
Just as there is an inner lawfulness in the solid substances, expressing itself, among other things, in the relationship between the kidneys and the heart, so we must postulate the existence of a lawfulness within the airy or gaseous organism—if I may use this expression—a lawfulness that is not confined to the physical, solid organs. Anthroposophy designates this lawfulness that directly underlies the airy or gaseous organism as the astral lawfulness, the astral organization.
300b. Faculty Meetings with Rudolf Steiner II: Forty-Fifth Meeting 31 Jan 1923, Stuttgart
Tr. Ruth Pusch, Gertrude Teutsch

Rudolf Steiner
When such proposals are made, then something is playing in the background. In the realm of anthroposophy, honesty, not intransigence, should rule. That is what I am asking you to do, at least here at the seat of the Waldorf School, to begin for once to seriously stand upright, so that we do not fall into an atmosphere where we shut our eyes to the disharmony, but, instead, honestly say what we have to say.
If you look at the essays that have been published as weekly reports in Anthroposophy, they certainly look as though they were written without any understanding of the relationship between the parliament and the executive and the bureaucracy and so forth.
104. The Apocalypse of St. John: Lecture VI 23 Jun 1908, Nuremberg
Tr. Mabel Cotterell

Rudolf Steiner
However, at a later date, when these things which are only now beginning to come to the consciousness of man through Anthroposophy, when they more and more penetrate men's consciousness, this will have to be made known, and it will have a tremendous result, it will be extremely important to the whole life of man.
When we recognize the true significance of this rainbow as we have represented it, something like deep respect for the religious records invades our soul, and we get an idea of how, through the deepening of the understanding by the teachings of Anthroposophy, man first attains to true and real feelings and advances to a true understanding of the religious records by an act of will.
185. From Symptom to Reality in Modern History: The Supersensible Element in the Study of History 26 Oct 1918, Dornach
Tr. A. H. Parker

Rudolf Steiner
He who finds a verbal similarity between the articles of the pastor or professor and what I have said here without feeling that my words spring from a spiritual source and are imbued with spiritual substance because they reflect the totality of the anthroposophical Weltanschauung, he who ignores this ‘how,’ fails to understand me if he does not distinguish between modern opinions that smack of Anthroposophy and Anthroposophy itself. It is of course not very pleasant to point to examples of this kind because the tendency today is often to take the opposite course.
226. Man's Being, His Destiny and World-Evolution: Man's Being, His Destiny and World Evolution, Part II 20 May 1923, Oslo
Tr. Erna McArthur

Rudolf Steiner
As it were, we are still stammering the language of Anthroposophy. Yet Anthroposophy will continue to develop more and more. And a part of this development will consist in its capability of finding words to describe the Mystery of Golgotha—words of a kind that spiritual science can bring to the Hindus, the Chinese, to all men on earth; and which will elucidate the Mystery of Golgotha in such a way that the Hindus, the Chinese, the Japanese will be unable to reject what is told them concerning the Mystery of Golgotha.
270. Esoteric Instructions: Second Lesson 22 Feb 1924, Dornach
Tr. John Riedel

Rudolf Steiner
Am I not fooling myself, about it not being the case for me? Have I seen, in all acts pertaining to Anthroposophy, have I really seen that with Christmas a new phase of the Anthroposophical Society has begun?
Is there something new that I can take up in my life in devotion to Anthroposophy? Is there some way that I can work differently than before, so that I can bring in something brand new?
353. The History of Humanity and the World Views of Civilized Nations: On the Foundation of a Spiritual-Scientific Astronomy 05 May 1924, Dornach

Rudolf Steiner
But to gain spiritual knowledge in a spiritual way, as we try to do today in anthroposophy, was not yet possible at that time. Mankind had not progressed that far. So van Helmont used even older methods.
And lo and behold, he received great revelations in the form of images, what we today in anthroposophy call imagination, in the form of images from the spiritual world. And that gave him a great jolt in life, a terrible jolt; because now he knew: you can not only say something about the spiritual world through the intellect, but you can also really see the spiritual world.
350. Rhythms in the Cosmos and in the Human Being: The Influence of the Star Constellations on the Earth and on Humans 25 Jun 1923, Dornach
Tr. Automated

Rudolf Steiner
So, I would like to say: It is indeed the case that with anthroposophy, we have to give humanity what it needs in a new way, otherwise humanity will remain confused. Because the stars, which are arranged more closely together, no longer fit the concepts from other times; only the concepts that anthroposophy can bring fit again. Now I have already been given four questions today. We will see if we can make progress next time.
349. The Life of Man on Earth and the Essence of Christianity: Human Existence in Sleep and Death 21 Mar 1923, Dornach
Tr. Automated

Rudolf Steiner
It may seem strange to you, but it is actually true: if you really have mastered anthroposophy, how can you tell people something about the universe? You can tell something about the universe simply because you remember back to the first days of childhood, when you still knew everything from the experiences you had before you entered the body. And anthroposophy actually consists of the fact that you gradually get all this world wisdom out of the body that you gave up to the body.
