231. Supersensible Man: Lecture V 18 Nov 1923, The Hague
Tr. Mary Adams

Rudolf Steiner
For it is really so, my dear friends. We learn what Anthroposophy has to teach us not merely for the sake of satisfying human curiosity, but in order that the knowledge may bear fruit after we have passed through the gate of death.
231. Spiritual Knowledge: A Way of Life 16 Nov 1923, The Hague
Tr. Mary Adams

Rudolf Steiner
The title of this series of lectures is: The Supersensible Human, Anthroposophically Comprehended, and published in English as: Supersensible Man, and At Home in the Universe. This lecture is also known as: Anthroposophy / Spiritual Science as a Human and Personal Way of Life. This lecture first appeared in English in The Golden Blade of 1950.
218. The Experiences of Sleep and their Spiritual Background 09 Oct 1922, Stuttgart
Tr. Unknown

Rudolf Steiner
For as a matter of fact, no one who relies on these methods alone can ever carry his observation of the life of the soul any further than that during waking life, ideas, feelings, impulses of will-expressions, that is, of the inner nature and being of man—surge up from the depths; they are obviously closely bound up with the external bodily nature, and it is quite impossible to demonstrate conclusively that what shows itself to begin with in such close dependence on bodily conditions can have any existence of its own beyond these bodily conditions. Now as you know very well, in Anthroposophy we take this as our starting-point. We fully accept the fact that with such means of acquiring knowledge as are recognised today, the depths of man's soul-nature can never be fathomed.
10. Knowledge of the Higher Worlds (1947): How is Knowledge Of The Higher Worlds Attained?
Tr. George Metaxa, Henry B. Monges

Rudolf Steiner
Everyone can attain this knowledge; in each one of us lies the faculty of recognizing and contemplating for ourselves what genuine Mysticism, Spiritual Science, Anthroposophy, and Gnosis teach. Only the right means must be chosen. Only a being with ears and eyes can apprehend sounds and colors; nor can the eye perceive if the light which makes things visible is wanting.
118. The Reappearance of Christ in the Etheric: The Reappearance of Christ in the Etheric 06 Mar 1910, Stuttgart
Tr. Barbara Betteridge, Ruth Pusch, Diane Tatum, Alice Wuslin, Margaret Ingram de Ris

Rudolf Steiner
Such a person will say, as if from an awakened soul force, “I see something like a reality, just as it is described in anthroposophy as the second man within physical man.” Still other faculties will appear, for instance, a faculty that human beings will notice in themselves.
192. Humanistic Treatment of Social and Educational Issues: Ninth Lecture 15 Jun 1919, Stuttgart

Rudolf Steiner
Let us look at it in the light of that knowledge of humanity, that anthropology, which we who have been involved with anthroposophy for many years should be familiar with. The smallest observation of human life borders on the greatest, most significant cultural currents and forces.
191. Social Understanding from a Spiritual-Scientific Perspective: Eighth Lecture 18 Oct 1919, Dornach

Rudolf Steiner
You see, that has a very specific meaning. Just think, since we have been practicing anthroposophy, we have always said: When a person is awake, his I and his astral body are in the physical and etheric bodies.
339. The Art of Lecturing: Lecture III 13 Oct 1921, Dornach
Tr. Fred Paddock, Maria St. Goar, Peter Stebbing, Beverly Smith

Rudolf Steiner
Only if people penetrate through this nebulous, illusory element, through the idea to the reality of the spiritual life—as happens by means of Anthroposophy—only then can the spiritual life be experienced as real once again. If the spiritual life is merely a sum of ideas, then these ideas do indeed stream up from the economic life.
60. Buddha 02 Mar 1911, Berlin
Tr. Unknown

Rudolf Steiner
Here I must again remind you of the law of human evolution which we considered in connection with the great Zarathustra. [See Anthroposophy, Easter, 1927.] In the course of the ages the whole constitution of man's soul has passed through different stages and conditions.
118. The Festivals and Their Meaning III : Ascension and Pentecost: Whitsun: The Festival of the Free Individuality 15 May 1910, Hamburg
Tr. Dorothy S. Osmond, Alan P. Shepherd

Rudolf Steiner
For example, there could not be embodied what can be taught in our present epoch as a Christian truth, namely, the fact of the re-embodiment of mankind, or reincarnation. When we, in Anthroposophy, teach reincarnation to-day, we are fully conscious, in the light of the Whitsun festival, that reincarnation is a Christian truth which can be made known exoterically to-day to a humanity which has become more mature, but which could not be made known to the immature souls of the first Christian centuries.
