114. The Gospel of St. Luke: The Incarnation of the Christ in Jesus of Nazareth 21 Sep 1909, Basel
Tr. Dorothy S. Osmond, Owen Barfield

Rudolf Steiner
As is described in greater detail in my book >The Education of the Child in the Light of Anthroposophy, the close of the seventh year is marked by a spiritual occurrence which in some respects resembles physical birth: a kind of etheric birth then takes place.
192. Spiritual-Scientific Consideration of Social and Pedagogic Questions: Pedagogy, from the Standpoint of the History of Culture 08 Jun 1919, Stuttgart
Tr. Unknown

Rudolf Steiner
My dear friends, again and again in numerous letter I have had this Christ-Jesus creed held up to me, in contract to what Anthroposophy must do and wants to do. And again and again I have been confronted by the request to “popularize” in trivial phrases, “so that people can understand it”, that which today must be stamped with severe accuracy out of the reality of the spirit because the time demands it.
193. Inner Aspect of the Social Question: Lecture III 09 Mar 1919, Zürich
Tr. Charles Davy

Rudolf Steiner
Again and again, when some Sunday afternoon preacher of the worldly sort has merely spoken in a better style than usual, one hears that someone has said: “He speaks quite in the spirit of Anthroposophy!” Usually, in such cases, he is doing the very opposite! This is the point that needs attention; this is what counts.
193. The Ahrimanic Deception 27 Oct 1919, Zürich
Tr. Unknown

Rudolf Steiner
But there is not yet courage everywhere to come to an understanding with the historical impulses of the Christ, Lucifer and Ahriman in the urgent way that is necessary and that is emphasized by Anthroposophy. Even those who have an idea of what is necessary will not go far enough. For instance, look at examples where there arises some knowledge that the secular materialistic science with this Ahrimanic character must be permeated with the Christ Impulse, and how, on the other hand, the Gospel must be illuminated through the explanations of spiritual science.
195. The Cosmic New Year: The Three Streams in the Life of Civilization 21 Dec 1919, Stuttgart
Tr. Harry Collison

Rudolf Steiner
Thus assertions arise today, and much of what you read on paper in printer's ink is of no more value than that dirty rumour which is used to make Anthroposophy a heresy in Latin countries. Today such things have to be traced to their origin. It is not enough to take them as mere parlance.
183. Occult Psychology: Lecture I 17 Aug 1918, Dornach
Tr. Unknown

Rudolf Steiner
Now it is just the task of the spiritual impulse to which our Anthroposophy is devoted, to make a stand against three fundamental evils in the present so-called culture of mankind.
185. From Symptom to Reality in Modern History: Characteristics of Historical Symptoms in Recent Times 20 Oct 1918, Dornach
Tr. A. H. Parker

Rudolf Steiner
And they continued: You see the difference between us is this: You address yourself to a certain section of the population which is already familiar with the premises of anthroposophy, people who are educated and are conversant with certain concepts and ideas. We, on the other hand speak to all men, we speak a language which everyone can understand.
185. From Symptom to Reality in Modern History: The Historical Significance of the Scientific Mode of Thinking 25 Oct 1918, Dornach
Tr. A. H. Parker

Rudolf Steiner
It is this which is most difficult to bring to men's understanding today for the simple reason that the belief persists (not in all, but in the majority) that what they are looking for in Anthroposophy, as they understand it, is a little moral uplift, something necessary for one's private and personal edification, something which insulates one from the serious matters which are settled in Parliament, in the Federal Councils, in this or that Corporation, or even round the beer table.
210. Old and New Methods of Initiation: Lecture X 25 Feb 1922, Dornach
Tr. Johanna Collis

Rudolf Steiner
8 This became the motto, and in some very wide circles this motto has intensified into a hatred against any talk of spiritual things—as you can see in the way Anthroposophy is received by many people. Today's culture, which all of you have as your background, urgently needs this element of revival.
231. Supersensible Man: Lecture I 13 Nov 1923, The Hague
Tr. Mary Adams

Rudolf Steiner
Supersensible man, who merely permeates himself with earthly substances in order to manifest in the outer world, can only be understood in the light of Anthroposophy. And this is what we have set out to do in the course of these lectures.
