124. The Universal Human: The Lord of the Soul 12 Dec 1910, Munich
Translated by Gilbert Church, Sabine H. Seiler

The Persian bible was rewritten seven times and what exists today is the last form. Anthroposophy has to teach people how necessary it is to rewrite the books containing the holy secrets in each epoch.
316. Course for Young Doctors: Easter Course II 22 Apr 1924, Dornach
Translated by Gerald Karnow

In a certain sense this knowledge is sought for—although it cannot be found there because it can only be found today by way of Anthroposophy. It is sought for by theologians (I mean by the ordinary theologians). All kinds of people are looking and seeking for knowledge of the being of man.
316. Course for Young Doctors: Easter Course III 23 Apr 1924, Dornach
Translated by Gerald Karnow

An Age of Light is shining into the world and its first rays must be caught by Anthroposophy. At the present time, of course, I am speaking much more radically about certain karmic relationships than I did before the Christmas Foundation.
203. The Responsibility of Man for World Evolution: Lecture III 11 Mar 1921, Dornach
Translator Unknown

On March 1, I gave a lecture in the university auditorium in Amsterdam on the topic “Anthroposophy and Philosophy.” On March 2, I gave a public lecture in Rotterdam. On March 3, I gave a public lecture in Hengelo in Holland.
178. Geographic Medicine: Knowledge of the Supersensible and Riddles of the Human Soul 15 Nov 1917, St. Gallen
Translated by Alice Wuslin

In this case there is also the problem that in our time many people, indeed the majority of those considering themselves enlightened and cultured, not only bring with them their prejudices and preconceptions; they are actually ashamed of having to take seriously the realm about which anthroposophy has to speak. Such an individual feels he has to apologize not only to the world in general but to himself if he admits that it is possible to know about the things that are to be spoken of today in as thoroughly scientific a way as about the outer structure of nature.
He already knows these objections, because doubt is felt today not only concerning the specific truths and results of this spiritual science; there is also doubt that knowledge of any kind can be acquired concerning the realm with which anthroposophy occupies itself. The possibility of developing conceptual beliefs in the soul, general conceptual beliefs about the realm of the eternal, is certainly still acknowledged as justified by many today; but it is generally considered something dreamy or sentimental to believe that a really factual knowledge can be developed about the facts that can be drawn from the sense world concerning the immortal and eternal in the nature of the human being.
124. Excursus on the Gospel According to St. Mark: A Retrospect 17 Oct 1910, Berlin
Translator Unknown

It is not from choice that I emphasize again and again the need of studying what we call spiritual science or anthroposophy. I lay stress on it because it is not possible by any other means to acquire the solid supports necessary to a spiritual development.
112. The Gospel of St. John: The Johannine Christians 24 Jun 1909, Kassel
Translated by Harry Collison

In certain respects our epoch calls for a new revelation even of this greatest event in the earthly evolution of man, the Christ Event; and it is anthroposophy's aim to be this revelation. As far as its content is concerned, the anthroposophical presentation of the Christ Mystery is nothing new, not even for us today; but its form is new.
113. Goethe Celebration 28 Aug 1909, Munich

We may say: at the time when Goethe was inspired to write the poem 'The Secrets', that which we today call anthroposophy lived warmly in his soul. And in this poem, the spiritual-scientific call is sent out into the world so powerfully and on such profound grounds that it had to remain a fragment even for a mind as great as that of the great soul that Goethe's body held.
114. The Gospel of St. Luke: The Two Jesus Children 18 Sep 1909, Basel
Translated by Dorothy S. Osmond, Owen Barfield

(How this takes place can be read in my book The Education of the Child in the light of Anthroposophy.)1 Try to picture to yourselves how the forces of the mind and intellect develop in the child; how at the seventh, fourteenth and twenty-first years certain powers not in operation before make their appearance or are forthcoming in greater strength.
114. The Gospel of St. Luke: The Buddha and Zarathustra Streams Converge 19 Sep 1909, Basel
Translated by Dorothy S. Osmond, Owen Barfield

If we steep ourselves in the wisdom of the Chaldeans with the help, not of Anthropology but of Anthroposophy, an inkling will dawn in us of what Zarathustra, as Zarathas or Nazarathos, taught in the Mystery-schools of ancient Chaldea.
