183. Mysteries of the Sun and of the Threefold Man: Lecture III 26 Aug 1918, Dornach
Tr. Unknown

Rudolf Steiner
And you will therefore understand why to a certain extent I have always been against drawing diagrams so long as we were still trying to run our Anthroposophy within the Theosophical Society. One had only to enter any theosophical branch and the walls as a rule would be plastered with all manner of diagrams; there were drawings of every possible thing with words attached; there ware whole genealogical trees and every possible kind of sketch.
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.
334. From the Unitary State to the Tripartite Social Organism: Spiritual Science in Relation to the Spirit and the Unspiritual in the Present Day 04 May 1920, Basel

Rudolf Steiner
It is precisely this kind of world view, called anthroposophy here, that gives rise to a way of life, a real immersion in reality, in contrast to materialism, which everywhere tends towards the intellectual, towards merely looking at the world from the outside, and remains barren, with the exception of the only area where it could be fruitful, where it has led from triumph to triumph: that of external technology.
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.
297a. Education for Life: Self-Education and Pedagogical Practice: The Supernatural in Man and the World 01 Nov 1922, Rotterdam

Rudolf Steiner
And by applying the exact method to our will, educating ourselves, doing the most beautiful deeds for our self-education, we will not arrive at an outwardly charlatan magic, but at an inward, idealistic magic, and thus again link the moral to the natural, to the religious. And ultimately, what does this anthroposophy of which I speak want? It wants to fill the deep abyss that exists unconsciously, at least for modern man, for all people who somehow experience the world, between the natural amoral world order on the one hand and the religious moral order on the other, so that in the future, in his life, in that which nature, sensuality, gives him through his body, the strong supersensible, into which world morality, not only the morality of humanity, flows, into which not only the natural order, but the divine order flows.
