297. The Idea and Practice of Waldorf Education: The Art of Teaching and the Waldorf School 08 Sep 1920, Dornach

Rudolf Steiner
Just because people imagine that anthroposophical researchers are people who conjure up all kinds of ideas that can be had quickly, that are quickly drawn from the imagination - just because people imagine this, that is why they misunderstand the paths that are to be taken from anthroposophy into the spiritual world. If one familiarizes oneself with the way in which man, in a self-education of his entire being, can alone come to open up within himself views of the spiritual world that are just as exact and certain as the results of natural science; only if one informs oneself about how long it takes to research relatively small, insignificant truths that are added to external-physical knowledge - let us say, for example, for the doctrine of human sense, for human anatomy or the like; only if one realizes how decades of research are often necessary for the most trivial little things in the field of spiritual science: then one will learn to understand that research in this field is by no means more convenient and easier than research in the clinical field, in the observatory, in the physics or chemistry laboratory.
64. From a Fateful Time: The Human Soul in Life and Death 26 Nov 1914, Berlin

Rudolf Steiner
What I have today only been able to discuss in general terms, about the thought, its dying away and its revival in another sphere, about the spreading of the will over fate, and how it must work there in detail, I have presented in more detail in my book “How to Know Higher Worlds”, which has now been extensively revised and is available in a new and I have also tried to present it in a different way in the book 'The Riddles of Philosophy', which has now been published as a second edition of my 'World and Life Views in the Nineteenth Century' with a 'sketchy outlook on an anthroposophy' as a result of the entire spiritual-philosophical development of the West. Let it be emphasized once more: spiritual science does not give something that would not be there without it — just as natural science does not give something that would not be there without it.
70a. The Human Soul, Fate and Death: The Rejuvenating Power of the German National Soul 20 Feb 1915, Bremen

Rudolf Steiner
This is not said comparatively, but to express something that is as certain for anthroposophy as, for example, the biological results are for the external science. Spiritual science says that the way a person, with their soul, faces the things and entities of external nature, and how they form concepts and ideas about them, so there are truly real spiritual beings, invisible to the physical eye, above the human being, and for these beings, the human being with their soul is as much a thought, as it is an idea, as the objects of external nature are for the human being.
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.
62. The World View of Herman Grimm 16 Jan 1913, Berlin
Tr. Peter Stebbing

Rudolf Steiner
Also known as, Herman Grimm, Contemporary Culture and Spiritual Developments, and Anthroposophy. This single lecture is the 8th of 14 lectures in the lecture series entitled, Results of Spiritual Investigation, published in German as, Ergebnisse der Geistesforschung.
62. Errors in Spiritual Investigation: Meeting the Guardian of the Threshold 06 Mar 1913, Berlin
Tr. Unknown

Rudolf Steiner
In this way the greatest peculiarity arises: Maeterlinck takes to be merely a belief that which anthroposophy or spiritual science has to say when it speaks today about “repeated earthly lives”—when it speaks with a certain outer justification (not with a merely inner conviction, which would be akin to a certain primitive belief of humanity).
159. The Subconscious Forces 09 May 1915, Vienna
Tr. Unknown

Rudolf Steiner
The materialistic way of thinking leads to the opinion that one can prove and believe anything. The self-training implied by Anthroposophy, if this is grasped in the right way, also enables us to recognise that it is possible to prove and to believe anything if one remains in the field of materialism.
