185. From Symptom to Reality in Modern History: Incidental Reflections on the Occasion of the New Edition of ‘Goethes Weltanschauung’ 01 Nov 1918, Dornach
Tr. A. H. Parker

Rudolf Steiner
For to pursue the path of Goetheanism is to open the doors to an anthroposophically orientated spiritual science. And without Anthroposophy the world will not find a way out of the present catastrophic situation. In many ways the safest approach to spiritual science is to begin with the study of Goethe.
23. Basic Issues of the Social Question: Finding Real Solutions to the Social Problems of the Times
Tr. Frank Thomas Smith

Rudolf Steiner
Extracts from this book have been published by the Rudolf Steiner Press, London, 1970, under the title The Case for Anthroposophy, selected, translated, arranged and with an introduction by Owen Barfield.*.
68c. The Story of the Green Serpent and the Beautiful Lily: Lecture One 04 Apr 1904, Berlin
Tr. Unknown

Rudolf Steiner
Here he expresses in poetic words what he expressed in the fairy tale in pictures; what we in Anthroposophy call “occult knowledge” is expressed by the old man with the lamp,—the light of occult knowledge cannot shine to anyone who had not prepared himself to receive it.
174b. The Spiritual Background of Human History: Second Lecture 13 Feb 1915, Stuttgart

Rudolf Steiner
And we will not make our innermost experience of what anthroposophy is meant to be for us if we do not try to do so, if we do not turn our eyes to facts that can also surprise the anthroposophist, so to speak, in his own soul life, that point out how far one stands from the direct experience of the spiritual when one is so devoted to modern soul life, and how close one stands to the search for a theoretical conviction.
174a. Central Europe Between East and West: Second Lecture 03 Dec 1914, Stuttgart

Rudolf Steiner
We already know from the very elementary presentation in anthroposophy that when we speak of folk souls, we do not mean what the outer, exoteric world understands by an abstract term.
192. Humanistic Treatment of Social and Educational Issues: Fifteenth Lecture 03 Aug 1919, Stuttgart

Rudolf Steiner
This is what spiritual science, oriented to anthroposophy, seeks to be. It will therefore be most contested, because people cling to the old. And secondly, we need a new creation of the legal system, which must be brought completely into the democratic channel, which must be created in such a way that it cannot be created from the old conditions, because never in the old conditions does man face man as man, but always with some class or privilege involved.
164. The Value of Thinking for Satisfying our Quest for Knowledge: The Relationship Between Spiritual Science and Natural Science I 26 Sep 1915, Dornach

Rudolf Steiner
Those who once listened to a small lecture cycle that I then titled “Anthroposophy” will have seen that one cannot get by with five senses, but rather has to assume twelve senses.
60. The Nature of Sleep 24 Nov 1910, Berlin

Rudolf Steiner
By way of introduction, I would like to mention in advance that on this topic as well, Spiritual Science or Anthroposophy is not in a position to make generalisations of the kind that people love to make today. If today we talk about the nature of sleep, then we will only talk about the nature of human sleep.
57. Goethe's Secret Revelation: The Riddle in Faust: Esoteric 12 Mar 1909, Berlin
Tr. Unknown

Rudolf Steiner
One learns to recognize what he will one day become, if Spiritual Science or Anthroposophy will illuminate Goethe's esoteric poetry, where he speaks of the spiritual world from his own experiences.
58. Metamorphoses of the Soul: Paths of Experience I: The Mission of Truth 22 Oct 1909, Berlin
Tr. Charles Davy, Christoph von Arnim

Rudolf Steiner
Anything we think out in advance must prove itself in practice: it must yield results that can be recognised in the external world. The truths of Spiritual Science or Anthroposophy are of this kind. They cannot be found by observing external experience. For example, no findings in the realm of outer Nature can establish the truth we have often dwelt on in connection with the immortal kernel of man's being: the truth that the human Ego appears again and again on earth in successive incarnations.
