225. Cultural Phenomena — Three Perspectives of Anthroposophy: The Mystery of the Head and That of the Lower Man 06 May 1923, Dornach

Rudolf Steiner
That was the situation at the turn of the century. It was into this situation that Anthroposophy was to be introduced. And this is how, if I may put it, the task of Anthroposophy must be conceived.
But very few people love to lead the world of ideas of the present into the spiritual. They would like to take in Anthroposophy as a kind of comfort for the soul, so to speak, by excluding the world of ideas. But that will not suffice to give Anthroposophy its impulsive power in spiritual life.
And these things must be treated seriously if one is to profess Anthroposophy in earnest. Then it is really a matter of getting at the real realities and using them in the appropriate way.
225. Cultural Phenomena — Three Perspectives of Anthroposophy: Cultural Phenomena 01 Jul 1923, Dornach

Rudolf Steiner
But he failed to notice that Anthroposophy positively seeks to achieve what he merely criticizes in negative terms: to bring spirit into culture.
Of course, one cannot expect them to understand anthroposophy. But one should still keep a watchful eye on the way in which such people, who are rightly described by Schweitzer as the sleepy philosophers of the 19th and 20th centuries, now speak of anthroposophy.
Some fields have been plowed over and over again! Now, when the poor students in anthroposophy get “brain bubbles” and then plow these brains, the bubbles in front of the plowshare will certainly disappear.
225. Cultural Phenomena — Three Perspectives of Anthroposophy: A Century in Review: 1823 to 1923 06 Jul 1923, Dornach

Rudolf Steiner
The other science, and we can regard this as our secret, can be compared more to a donning of a nightcap that extends well down over the ears. But anthroposophy should be a real awakening. Therefore, it also awakens people to historical circumstances. With this, I wanted to make a start today, in the year 1923, with a view of the century, with a view that wanted to go back in perspective to 1823, with reference to a few specific facts.
225. Cultural Phenomena — Three Perspectives of Anthroposophy: Community-Building in Central Europe 07 Jul 1923, Dornach

Rudolf Steiner
Today, when we can speak from the point of view of anthroposophy, we can say: first of all, we have the upper human being, the nerve-sense human being; then we have the middle human being, the rhythmic human being; and finally we have the lower human being, the metabolic-limb human being.
This deeper knowledge of the human being is something that the world could not penetrate as long as the world did not seek anthroposophy. And one might say: If you look at what was available in Europe a century ago, you can see that there was a yearning for knowledge of the human being.
225. Cultural Phenomena — Three Perspectives of Anthroposophy: European Culture and Its Connection with the Latin Language 08 Jul 1923, Dornach

Rudolf Steiner
Because gently oversleeping is something that people love so much today. But anthroposophy is the kind of knowledge that one does not merely collect in ideas, but that one should awaken to.
225. Cultural Phenomena — Three Perspectives of Anthroposophy: The Gnostic Foundations of Pre-Christian Imagination of Europe 15 Jul 1923, Dornach

Rudolf Steiner
225. Cultural Phenomena — Three Perspectives of Anthroposophy: The World of Dreams as a Transitional Current between the Physical-Natural World and the World of Moral Concepts 22 Sep 1923, Dornach

Rudolf Steiner
That is why the materialistically minded say: Anthroposophy is fantastically spiritual. And those who have theosophy or theology and want to stop at the abstracted spirit, which never comes to real work, where it never comes so far that it really shows how it intervenes as spirit in the material effects, they say that Anthroposophy is materialistic because it brings its insights to matter.
