270. Esoteric Lessons for the First Class I: Ninth Hour 22 Apr 1924, Dornach
Tr. Frank Thomas Smith

Rudolf Steiner
Therefore whoever desires to understand in the right way must do so inwardly. With common sense we can understand all of anthroposophy, but to understand inwardly means to transfer more and more what is understood to inner life.
270. Esoteric Lessons for the First Class II: Eighteenth Hour 12 Jul 1924, Dornach
Tr. Frank Thomas Smith

Rudolf Steiner
Or they will be dull and unwilling—after preparation by general anthroposophy—in respect to what is said in the esoteric schools. They do not perceive what can be heard through initiation-science from the realm of the heights.
130. Esoteric Christianity and the Mission of Christian Rosenkreutz: The Christ Impulse in Historical Development I 17 Sep 1911, Lugano
Tr. Pauline Wehrle

Rudolf Steiner
The Being whom we call by the name of Christ or by other names will also bring about what we can describe as the saving of all the souls on earth for the Jupiter existence, whilst everything else will fall away with the earth. Anthroposophy is not something arbitrary, but something of importance that had to come into the world. The world must learn to understand the Christ Being who lived for three years on the earth.
107. The Being of Man and His Future Evolution: Forgetting 02 Nov 1908, Berlin
Tr. Pauline Wehrle

Rudolf Steiner
Today let us look at one of those aspects of spiritual science that show us how well qualified anthroposophy is to throw light on life in the widest sense. Not only does this knowledge help us understand everyday life, it also throws light on the great span of human existence that includes the time between death and a new birth.
121. The Mission of the Individual Folk-Souls: Advance of Folk Spirits to the Rank of Time Spirits. Monotheism and Pluralism 12 Jun 1910, Oslo
Tr. A. H. Parker

Rudolf Steiner
It was in the post-Atlantean epoch that, starting from the farthest East in India and following a wide curve through Asia to Europe, this doctrine of pluralism which after all is expressed in Anthroposophy by our recognition of a number of widely differing Beings and Hierarchies, has been represented in the most diverse ways and in a wide variety of forms.
104. The Apocalypse of St. John: Lecture II 19 Jun 1908, Nuremberg
Tr. Mabel Cotterell

Rudolf Steiner
When the pupil had performed his exercises for a long period—and this lasted for a very long time—when he had received what was necessary to produce order in the soul., when he had absorbed what we now call Anthroposophy, then he was at last able to participate in the old initiation proper. In what did this old initiation consist?
115. Wisdom of Man, of the Soul, and of the Spirit: Supersensible Processes in the Activities of the Human Senses 25 Oct 1909, Berlin
Tr. Samuel P. Lockwood, Loni Lockwood

Rudolf Steiner
Through this crossing, an effort made subconsciously in the sentient soul is raised into the consciousness soul; one effort can be sensed by means of the other. That is an illustration of the way anthroposophy teaches us to know the human being down to the most intricate anatomical details. Seventh among the senses is that of temperature, and again there is something in man that transmits it.
201. Man: Hieroglyph of the Universe: Lecture I 09 Apr 1920, Dornach
Tr. George Adams, Mary Adams

Rudolf Steiner
From this point of view we may really say that the course taken by the development of the spiritual Movement directed to Anthroposophy has in the last few days taken a step forward; it has begun to show clearly to the spiritual life of humanity, how we must seek to illuminate modern methods of thought with a knowledge of Man; for it is a fact that the knowledge of Man has to a very great extent been lost in modern times.
202. The Shaping of the Human Form out of Cosmic and Earthly Forces 26 Nov 1920, Dornach
Tr. Charles Davy

Rudolf Steiner
The difficulty in spreading Spiritual Science lies in this—that today here and there some society may organise lectures on Anthroposophy, or perhaps on its social aspect, the Threefold Commonwealth, and people go to hear the lectures, afterwards attending others and still others—without any desire to come to a definite inner decision.
212. The Human Soul in Relation to World Evolution: The Contrasting World-Conceptions of East and West 17 Jun 1922, Dornach
Tr. Rita Stebbing

Rudolf Steiner
Today I would like to speak about an aspect of Anthroposophy which closely concerns the being of man. It is obvious that our contact with the world between waking and sleeping is, to begin with, through our senses.
