210. Old and New Methods of Initiation: Lecture I 01 Jan 1922, Dornach
Tr. Johanna Collis

Rudolf Steiner
Again and again we come across situations in which people who believe themselves to be standing in anthroposophical life say: So-and-so said something which was in perfect agreement with Anthroposophy. We are not concerned with an outward agreement in words alone. What matters is the spirit, the living spirit, the living reality within which something stands.
210. Old and New Methods of Initiation: Lecture IX 24 Feb 1922, Dornach
Tr. Johanna Collis

Rudolf Steiner
Only slowly and gradually has mankind been able to find the way towards understanding this. Even today it has not yet been found. Anthroposophy wants to open the gate. But because abstraction has become so firmly established, even the awareness that the way must be sought has disappeared.
179. Historical Necessity and Freewill: Lecture III 10 Dec 1917, Dornach
Tr. Unknown

Rudolf Steiner
And it is indeed important to realize at the present time that the task of Anthroposophy is to develop this consciousness—that we are in touch with the souls of the dead. The earth will not continue to evolve in the direction of the welfare of humanity unless humanity develops this living feeling of being together with the dead.
181. Earthly Death and Cosmic Life: The Present Position of Spiritual Science 22 Jan 1918, Berlin
Tr. Harry Collison

Rudolf Steiner
In speaking to-day of the relation between the Spiritual Science of anthroposophy and other knowledge and wants of the world, it is really necessary to place quite new and unaccustomed ideas before one's hearers.
235. Karmic Relationships I: Lecture V 01 Mar 1924, Dornach
Tr. George Adams, Mabel Cotterell, Charles Davy, Dorothy S. Osmond

Rudolf Steiner
On one occasion, in the early stages of our anthroposophical work, a lady appeared among us who said: “No,” when she heard of reincarnation. She liked the rest of Anthroposophy very well, but with reincarnation she would have nothing to do; one earthly life, she said, was quite enough for her.
237. Karmic Relationships III: Introduction to these Studies on Karma 01 Jul 1924, Dornach
Tr. George Adams, Dorothy S. Osmond

Rudolf Steiner
Today, no doubt, a man can also familiarise himself with such an idea as a theoretic concept. He may even understand it with the help of Anthroposophy, but as soon as it becomes a question of practical life he forgets it. For then at once he has this rather strange idea, that the thoughts spring forth within himself—which is just as though he were to think that the oxygen he receives in breathing were not received by him but sprang forth from within him.

223. The Cycle of the Year as Breathing-Process of the Earth: Lecture IV 07 Apr 1923, Dornach
Tr. Barbara Betteridge, Frances E. Dawson

Rudolf Steiner
But once man has come to experience his freedom and his world of thought, then he must emerge again and experience cosmically. This is what Anthroposophy intends when it speaks of a renewal of the festivals, even of the creating of festivals like the Michael festival in autumn of which we have recently spoken.
224. The Recovery of the Living Source of Speech 13 Apr 1923, Dornach
Tr. Unknown

Rudolf Steiner
As a matter of fact, it is only through a deeper study of Anthroposophy that one can come again to an understanding of the soul life of such figures; as you know, we have sought here again and again to enter into the whole way in which a Greek thinks and forms his ideas.
227. The Evolution of Consciousness: Initiation-Knowledge — New and Old 21 Aug 1923, Penmaenmawr
Tr. Violet E. Watkin, Charles Davy

Rudolf Steiner
In the study of Anthroposophy, a justifiable objection at first can be that the anthroposophical investigation of facts concerning the spiritual worlds depends upon calling up, through the training I have described, deep-lying forces in the human being, before these facts can be reached.
