211. Exoteric And Esoteric Christianity 02 Apr 1922, Dornach
Tr. Dorothy S. Osmond

Rudolf Steiner
Opposition to Ahriman really exists to-day only in such teachings as are contained in Anthroposophy. When, through Anthroposophy, man once again realises that the soul and the Spirit are independent of the bodily nature, then Ahriman must begin to abandon hope.
207. The Seeds of Future Worlds 24 Sep 1921, Dornach
Tr. Unknown

Rudolf Steiner
It is lecture 1 of 11 from the lecture series: Anthroposophy as Cosmosophy Vol. I It is also known as: At the Center of Man's Being: II, or Natural Law and Moral Law.
Needless to say, one cannot set things before the world at large to-day in the way I have described them to you here, for people have not yet been sufficiently prepared by Spiritual Science and Anthroposophy. Yet there are ways in which one can point out even to modern men how they carry in them a centre of destruction, and how in the world outside there is something wherein the Ego of man is as it were submerged, where it cannot hold itself fast—as in earlier times men were told about the Fall and other doctrines of that kind.
179. Historical Necessity and Freewill: Lecture IV 11 Dec 1917, Dornach
Tr. Unknown

Rudolf Steiner
Of course, we must imagine that this carpet contains also the impressions of our hearing, the impressions of the twelve senses, such as we know them through Anthroposophy. You know that in reality there are twelve senses. This carpet of the sense impressions covers, as it were, a reality “lying behind”—if I may use this expression (but I am speaking in comparisons).
You see why man needs this lower realm between death and a new birth; he must master it; he needs it because he must transform the centaur into a human being. What Anthroposophy sets forth has been attained only in single flashes outside the occult schools. There have always been a few men who discovered these things, as if in flashes.
235. Karma: The Single Factor of Karma 01 Mar 1924, Dornach
Tr. Henry B. Monges

Rudolf Steiner
Rudolf Steiner: Psycho-Analysis in the Light of Anthroposophy (in preparation). {It's prepared! - e.Ed}] All these are amateurish interpretations of life.
On one occasion, in the early stages of our anthroposophical activity, a lady appeared among us who had heard of reincarnation. She liked other things in Anthroposophy very much indeed, but in repeated earth lives she would not participate; one earth life was quite enough for her—with others she would have nothing to do.
235. Karmic Relationships I: Lecture XI 22 Mar 1924, Dornach
Tr. George Adams, Mabel Cotterell, Charles Davy, Dorothy S. Osmond

Rudolf Steiner
There are, of course, risks in speaking of these matters, but in view of the whole situation of the spiritual life which ought to proceed from Anthroposophy today, I do not think such risks can be avoided. What I am now going to tell you came to my notice several years after I had last seen the person in question, who was a greatly beloved teacher of mine up to my eighteenth year.
Many of you who know something about the history of Anthroposophy will be familiar with his name. Eugen Heinrich Schmidt first became known in Vienna during the eighties, and it was then that I made his acquaintance.
224. The Waking of the Human Soul and the Forming of Destiny: The Need for Understanding The Christ 29 Apr 1923, Prague
Tr. Unknown

Rudolf Steiner
Just imagine what the situation would be if, through some kind of accident, all anthroposophical books and other writings should disappear, and that the nature of anthroposophy would have to be adjudged only on the basis of writings by its opponents. Just so much is known today by people who depend upon external documents regarding Gnosis.
This cannot be found unless we begin to seek for a spiritual knowledge. Spiritual knowledge, as this is sought by anthroposophy, will find again the relation with the Christ. This relation can be found only spiritually. What occurred on Golgotha is not merely an event that has laid hold upon the physical, earthly history of humanity, but also a spiritual event.
288. The Building at Dornach: Lecture I 23 Jan 1920, Dornach
Tr. Unknown

Rudolf Steiner
We shall have, in the near future, to take strong measures in different directions for the benefit of the cause, so that the Dornach Building, the “Goetheanum”, should be made the centre of the movement for Spiritual Science from the point of view of Anthroposophy for which we intend to work. It would be of great importance if the Goetheanum could also be made known to the outer world, so that those who have not at present an opportunity of seeing it, may become acquainted with it.
If you bear this in mind, you will see, that this is connected with the position Spiritual Science or Anthroposophy claims in the whole development of mankind. The life of modern humanity has become simply intellectual; it has become so because for centuries modern humanity has hardly received any other education than that of thought.
354. The Evolution of the Earth and Man and The Influence of the Stars: The evolution of human culture 06 Aug 1924, Dornach
Tr. Gladys Hahn

Rudolf Steiner
That means, we have to come back to the spirit by way of the intellect. And that, you see, is the task of anthroposophy. It has no wish to do what would please many people, that is, to bring primitive conditions back to humanity-ancient Indian wisdom, for example. It is nonsense when people harp on that. Anthroposophy, on the other hand, sets value on a return to the spirit, but a return to the spirit precisely in full possession of the intellect, with the intellect fully alive.
354. On the Development of Human Culture: Lecture II 06 Aug 1924, Dornach
Tr. Violet E. Watkin

Rudolf Steiner
That means our having to come back to the spirit by way of the intellect. That, you see, is the task of anthroposophy; it has no wish to do what many people would like, that is, to bring back primitive conditions among men—old Indian wisdom, for example. It is nonsense when people harp on that; anthroposophy sets value on a return to the spirit precisely in full possession of the intellect, with intellect fully alive.
107. The Ten Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount: The Ten Commandments 16 Nov 1908, Berlin
Tr. Frieda Solomon

Rudolf Steiner
Our studies will then culminate in a generally more exact recognition of human nature than has previously been possible through anthroposophy. Today, because we will need it later, we will have to include a discussion of the nature and meaning of the Ten Commandments of Moses.
We actually speak out of the living sources of our anthroposophic world view when we say that to restore the Bible to man in a true form is one of the most important tasks of this world view, indeed, of anthroposophy itself. Above all, we are here interested in what is generally said regarding the Ten Commandments.
