68d. The Nature of Man in the Light of Spiritual Science: The Mystery of the Human Temperaments 19 Jan 1909, Karlsruhe
Translated by Frances E. Dawson

Rudolf Steiner
Spiritual science, or as we call it more recently, Anthroposophy, will have a special task precisely regarding this individual enigma—man. Not only must it give us information about what man is in general, but it must be, as you know, a knowledge which flows directly into our daily life, into all our sensibilities and feelings.
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.
115. Wisdom of Man, of the Soul, and of the Spirit: Supersensible Processes in the Activities of the Human Senses 25 Oct 1909, Berlin
Translated by 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.
130. Esoteric Christianity and the Mission of Christian Rosenkreutz: The Christ Impulse in Historical Development I 17 Sep 1911, Lugano
Translated by 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.
132. Inner Realities of Evolution: Inner Aspect of the Saturn-Embodiment of the Earth 31 Oct 1911, Berlin
Translator Unknown

Rudolf Steiner
The other way is to penetrate into the spiritual worlds without the Gospels through a genuine true Spiritual Science or Anthroposophy. This is also possible. (You know that we emphasise the fact that we do not start from the Gospels when we consider the Mystery of Golgotha, but that we should arrive at it even if there were no Gospels at all.)
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
Translated by 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
Translated by 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?
107. The Being of Man and His Future Evolution: Forgetting 02 Nov 1908, Berlin
Translated by 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.
179. Historical Necessity and Freewill: Lecture V 15 Dec 1917, Dornach
Translator Unknown

Rudolf Steiner
Then it will be seen clearly that a human being's deeds, let us say, in a certain decade of a certain century, are the consequence of what he experienced before entering into his incarnation on earth; they are in no sense the consequence of events that occurred in the course of decades of physical experience on the earth, and so on. Spiritual Science, in the meaning of Anthroposophy, will have to bring more depth and more life—especially in regard to historical, social, and moral life—into the sphere of history above all.
180. Mysterious Truths and Christmas Impulses: Second Lecture 24 Dec 1917, Dornach

Rudolf Steiner
Official representatives of what is often called Christianity today are always objecting, especially in contrast to spiritual science oriented towards anthroposophy, that revelations from the spiritual world were possible in the time of Christ, but that the “fatal Gnosis” must not be allowed to resurface.
167. Things in Past and Present in the Spirit of Man: Shedding Light on the Deeper Impulses of History. Blavatsky 28 Mar 1916, Berlin
Translated by E. H. Goddard

Rudolf Steiner
On the one side you have the Berlin-Bagdad Railway and an the other side Anthroposophy. I was trying to work for the Pan-Germanic tendency, to separate India from England. In 1909 in Budapest, Mrs.
