Community Life, Inner Development, Sexuality and the Spiritual Teacher: Resolving the Case

As late as 1923, he appeared in public in Berlin as a “non-anthroposophical expert on anthroposophy” and again spoke out against Rudolf Steiner. This will be documented in the volume on the history of the Society covering the year 1923.
260. The Christmas Conference : The Laying the Foundation Stone for the Anthroposophical Society 25 Dec 1923, Dornach
Tr. Johanna Collis, Michael Wilson

Rudolf Steiner
The proper soil into which we must lower the Foundation Stone of today, the proper soil consists of our hearts in their harmonious collaboration, in their good, love-filled desire to bear together the will of Anthroposophy through the world. This will cast its light on us like a reminder of the light of thought that can ever shine towards us from the dodecahedral Stone of love which today we will lower into our hearts.
238. The Individuality of Elias, John, Raphael, Novalis: The Last Address by Rudolf Steiner 28 Sep 1924, Dornach
Tr. George Adams

Rudolf Steiner
If this Michael Power is able verily to overcome all that is of the demon and the dragon [and you will know what that is], if you all, who have in this way received in the light Michael Thought, have indeed received it with true and faithful heart and with tender love, and will endeavour to go forward from the Michael mood of this year, until not only is the Michael Thought revealed in your soul, but you are able also to make the Michael Thought live in your deeds in all its strength and all its power—if this is so, then will you be true servants of the Michael Thought, worthy helpers of what has now to enter Earth-evolution through Anthroposophy, and take its place there in the meaning of Michael. If, in the near future, in four times twelve human beings, the Michael Thought becomes fully alive—four times twelve human beings, that is, who are recognised not by themselves but by the Leadership of the Goetheanum in Dornach—if in four times twelve such human beings, leaders arise having the mood of soul that belongs to the Michael festival, then we can look up to the light that through the Michael stream and the Michael activity will be shed abroad in the future among mankind.
68d. The Mystery of the Human Temperaments 19 Jan 1909, Jena
Tr. Frances E. Dawson

Rudolf Steiner
A title these lectures were published under is: Anthroposophy in Everyday Life. It is an oft-repeated and a justifiable opinion, with regard to all the realms of human spiritual life, that man's greatest riddle here in our physical life is man himself.
When in life a person stands before us, we must always, in the sense of this spiritual science, or Anthroposophy, take into consideration that what we perceive outwardly of the person is only one part, only one member, of the human being.
Thus by means of such true life wisdom we create social foundations, and that means at each moment to solve a riddle. Anthroposophy works not by means of preaching, exhortation, harping on morals, but by creating a social basis on which one man is able to understand another.
59. Metamorphoses of the Soul: Paths of Experience II: Error and Mental Disorder 28 Apr 1910, Berlin
Tr. Charles Davy, Christoph von Arnim

Rudolf Steiner
Let us take an example which has been emphasised before and which can be found in my little work The Education of the Child in the Light of Anthroposophy.46 There it says that the child up to the seventh year of age primarily feels the impulse in all its actions to imitate.

140. Life Between Death and Rebirth: Life Between Death and Rebirth I 26 Nov 1912, Munich
Tr. René M. Querido

Rudolf Steiner
For as we grow out into cosmic space between death and a new birth, we take the starry heavens into ourselves, and then in the soul we bear as our moral attitude a mirror image of the starry heavens. Here we touch upon one of the points where anthroposophy can only develop into a feeling for the moral-universal. What appears to be theory is immediately transformed into moral impulses of the soul.
We must learn to look through the words to the essence and receive this into the soul. If anthroposophy is grasped in its essence, the world will learn to understand many things, particularly in connection with the evolution of humanity.
168. The Influence of the Dead on the Life of Man on Earth 03 Dec 1916, Zürich
Tr. Unknown

Rudolf Steiner
Such people, who are among the special followers of the modern psychoanalysts, will sometimes gently hint that in these demonic depths beneath are to be found the impulses that lead people to such subjects as Gnosis, Theosophy and Anthroposophy. Although it is hinted at in a rather veiled way, still the hint is there. Read one of the last numbers of the periodical Wissen und Leben—I think it is called—and you will find such hints at one place and another, albeit they are rather hidden between the lines.
So there will by and by arise in the world the true, invisible community of those who are devoted to Anthroposophy, holding together through such inner feelings born out of the clear ideas of Spiritual Science.
157. The Destinies of Individuals and of Nations: Lecture III 28 Nov 1914, Berlin
Tr. Anna R. Meuss

Rudolf Steiner
I have often said: Why do we actually pursue anthroposophy? We pursue it because it is a cosmic mission, a work the spiritual world demands of man. A number of Imaginations have to be conveyed to mankind; within the near future men will have to take in a number of spiritual truths.
There is also freedom in this sphere. And souls will come to anthroposophy only through freedom and love for man's true progress and man's true good. So it is not possible either to become an anthroposophist out of mere egotism; in becoming one we contribute something to the progress which one otherwise withdraws from.
319. An Outline of Anthroposophical Medical Research: An Outline of Anthroposophical Medical Research 28 Aug 1924, London
Tr. Unknown

Rudolf Steiner
Whatever may arise in course of time from anthroposophy, in regard to the sphere of medical knowledge, it will not be found to be in any disagreement whatsoever with that which is understood to-day as the orthodox scientific study of medicine.
Everything can be carried out with the same exactitude as is the case with regard to physical natural science. Anthroposophy does not seek to correct modern medicine, but to add its own knowledge to it, because ordinary medicine makes demands upon itself only.
