300a. Faculty Meetings with Rudolf Steiner I: Third Meeting 26 Sep 1919, Stuttgart
Translated by Ruth Pusch, Gertrude Teutsch

Particularly when we begin with anthroposophy, we dare not develop anything inappropriate, certainly not develop anything too early. We will, therefore, have two stages.
The verses contained in prayer books are often trivial, therefore, you should use verses from the Bible and also those verses we have in anthroposophy. In anthroposophy, we have many verses you can use well in this anthroposophical religious instruction.
Second, we need to comprehend our responsibility toward anthroposophy as well as the social movement. And, third, something that we as anthroposophists must particularly observe, namely, our responsibility toward the gods.
Eurythmy as Visible Singing: Introduction to the Third English Edition
Translated by Alan P. Stott

‘The development of anthroposophical activity into the realm of art resulted out of the nature of anthroposophy.’ The art of eurythmy, however, occupies a unique position as the newly-born daughter of anthroposophy itself.
Art—‘even the nature of major and minor melodies’ - can bring life to the connection between man and cosmos (in other words, anthroposophy); to what might appear as dead form. Steiner warns ‘that these things are not a skeleton of ideas!’
Steiner claims that this lecture, already in 1888, contains ‘a sound foundation for anthroposophy and the anthroposophical way of thinking’ (Preface to the second edition, 1919). The lecture suggests an acid test for what is truly new.
349. Colour and the Human Races: Color and the Human Races 03 Mar 1923, Dornach
Translated by Mabel Cotterell

That is very remarkable. We in Europe develop Anthroposophy out of the Spirit. Over there they develop something that is a kind of wooden doll of Anthroposophy.
Then he will have something to say very similar to European Anthroposophy. One can say that we in Europe develop Anthroposophy in a spiritual way; the American develops it in a natural way.
—But he did not go on to say: “We must develop towards Anthroposophy:” he said: “Give us corpses so that we may dismember them.” [ 39 ] You see, that was all he could say: Give us corpses!
344. The Founding of the Christian Community: Fifteenth Lecture 20 Sep 1922, Dornach

The second thing is to live the word with the spirit, and that is precisely the point that will found your free relationship to anthroposophy. For it is basically anthroposophy that has inspired you to such a re-founding, to a religious renewal in general. And there is, after all, much that you can gain from Anthroposophy in terms of enlivening the gospel message, which you will certainly have to reshape in one way or another for your own purposes, casting it in a different form, but which must be the basis for a lasting, friendly relationship with Anthroposophy.
This is all you have to do in your movement, going beyond what anthroposophy will essentially remain as teaching and knowledge and what should not, to some extent, be adapted to the individuality of each person: counseling individuals with regard to what can inwardly trouble them in their soul condition as a result of sinful human nature.
252. The History of the Johannesbau and Goetheanum Associations: The Ninth Annual General Meeting of the Association of the Goetheanum 24 Jun 1922, Dornach

We couldn't have changed that. For it is precisely in the circles where anthroposophy is widely discussed today that we have basically done nothing, but have endeavored to maintain the original impulses, to work more and more in a positive way towards the given treasure.
So the material success is actually not lacking. You can't even say that people don't want anthroposophy, because they do want it, and those who enter into the other alliances are sometimes very good anthroposophists, they just don't join us.
Of course, they may disagree with this or that; they fully recognize the practical work of anthroposophy, but when it comes to whether they join us or somewhere else, they join somewhere else, because, after all, [gap in the text].
209. Nordic and Central European Spiritual Impulses: Father-consciousness and Christ-consciousness 07 Dec 1921, Berlin

But this is shrouded in the greatest misunderstanding, especially among theologians. They even find it 'offensive' that anthroposophy connects the Christ with the sun and with the outer cosmic world in general. Why do they find this offensive?
But we know that theology has become materialistic, and therefore it can only see the material world in the cosmos. But anthroposophy shows how this material world is spiritualized everywhere. However, theology is unable to detach itself from the material, and therefore it feels offended when anthroposophy speaks of Christ as a being of the sun.
But the mysterious is not lost by being brought to view; and anthroposophy aims to lead from that which is only communicated or believed to that which makes itself understood in contemplation.
130. The Reappearance of Christ in the Etheric: The Etherization of the Blood 01 Oct 1911, Basel
Translated by Barbara Betteridge, Ruth Pusch, Diane Tatum, Alice Wuslin, Margaret Ingram de Ris

If only he has truly sharpened his vision through engaging himself with anthroposophy, he may become aware that suddenly someone has come near to help him, to make him alert to this or that.
Those who desire evolution to succeed must acquire understanding of the spiritual life through what we today call anthroposophy. The cultivation of anthroposophy thus becomes a duty; knowledge becomes something that we actually experience, something toward which we have responsibility.
Once the foundation has been acquired, however, it endures, and then Christ becomes visible also during the period between death and the new birth. Anthroposophy is thus not only something we learn for our physical life but also has value when we have laid aside the physical body at death.
Deeper Insights into Education: Introduction
Translated by René M. Querido

In 1907 he formulated his views on education in an essay entitled Education of the Child in the Light of Anthroposophy. It was not until twelve years later, soon after the first World War, which left Middle Europe shattered, morally depleted, and financially in ruins, that Steiner answered the call from Emil Molt, the owner of the Waldorf Astoria cigarette factory in Stuttgart, to found a school initially intended for the children of the factory workers.
In studying Rudolf Steiner's educational work, a careful distinction should be made between the courses given to the first teachers of the Waldorf School in Stuttgart, who were well prepared through a sound basis in anthroposophy, and those given to public audiences often without the slightest background in spiritual science.
100. The Gospel of St. John (Basle): Lecture I 16 Nov 1907, Basel
Translator Unknown

It might be thought that Spiritual Science or Anthroposophy desires to bring in a new religion in addition to those already existing; but that is not the case. Anthroposophy is not a new religion, it is not a new sect. In these lectures it will be our task, with the aid of Spiritual Science, to show the significance of this religious document, St.
The fountain of Truth which springs up in it is abundant and never-ending; it is so plenteous that as the evolution of humanity progresses it will reveal every new aspects of its being. Anthroposophy or Spiritual Science is to present Christianity to man from a new and different side. Now, the various religious records may be considered from four different points of view: 1.
259. The Fateful Year of 1923: Preliminary Remarks by the Editor

He saw the danger of disintegration through individual efforts, the neglect of the nourishing and cohesive mother soil of anthroposophy. He urgently warned the leading members in Stuttgart. In December 1922, he had given a commission to Mr.
See the biographical documentation Marie Steiner-von Sivers, A Life for Anthroposophy, Dornach 1988 and 1989.2 He considered it to be of crucial importance: he was to discuss it with his colleagues on the board in Germany, so that the joint response to it would be given to him on his next arrival in Stuttgart.
See the biographical documentation “Marie Steiner-von Sivers, A Life for Anthroposophy”, Dornach 1988 and 1989.2. According to Rudolf Steiner (see footnote to the minutes of January 16, 1923), the conversation took place on December 10.
