211. Knowledge and Initiation: Cognition of the Christ Through Anthroposophy: Cognition of the Christ Through Anthroposophy 15 Apr 1922, London
Tr. Unknown

Rudolf Steiner
That which can work from the stage should only be another form of revelation than that what can be effected through the word. Anthroposophy should come out of the deepest foundations of humanity, of which theoretical Anthroposophy is only one branch, education and the arts are the others.
Then are we able to say, ‘It is not I, but Christ in me Who makes me live again in the spiritual life of the soul.’ Anthroposophy does not lead to irreligion but to a religious life in the fullest sense of the term; we are deepened and penetrated with new spiritual forces.
External science has given us freedom, but with it has come doubt. It is the task of Anthroposophy to sweep away these doubts that have come in the train of external science and which were a necessary stage in the development of humanity, and because Anthroposophy is a spiritual science it is able to do so.
218. First Steps in Supersensible Perception and The Relation of Anthroposophy to Christianity: The Relation of Anthroposophy to Christianity 18 Nov 1922, London
Tr. Dorothy S. Osmond

Rudolf Steiner
I alluded briefly in the lecture yesterday to the antagonism of natural scientific thinking which maintains that supersensible knowledge is beyond the reach of human faculties. From this side, therefore, Anthroposophy is regarded as unworthy of any serious consideration. We shall be more concerned to-day with opposition of a different character. It comes from people who feel that Anthroposophy deprives them and their fellow-believers of their inward connection with Christ. In their own way, such people are usually very devout Christians and it is from their very piety that the antagonism is born.
Due-respect must, of course, be paid to such feelings. Nevertheless, in their attitude to Anthroposophy these people are entirely in error. If they realised the truth, they would find that Anthroposophy helps them to tread the Path to Christ; they would find that all the longings which draw them to Christ in simplicity and devoutness of heart are inwardly strengthened by what Anthroposophy has to say concerning Him.
21. The Riddles of the Soul: An Objection Often Raised against Anthroposophy
Tr. William Lindemann

Rudolf Steiner
[ 1 ] An objection is often raised against anthroposophy that is just as comprehensible to the soul attitude of the personality from which it comes as it is unjustified to the spirit from which anthroposophical research is undertaken.
In order to raise this objection, the demand is made that the results of spiritual observation which anthroposophy is presenting be “proven” in the sense of purely natural-scientific methods of experimentation.
Anyone who stands upon the anthroposophical viewpoint longs as Brentano did to be able to work in a genuine psychological laboratory—which is impossible because of the prejudices still holding sway today against anthroposophy.
108. The Answers to Questions About the World and Life Provided by Anthroposophy: The Place of Anthroposophy in Philosophy 14 Mar 1908, Berlin

Rudolf Steiner
But since we cannot afford to wait for the spiritual-scientific movement, and must give spiritual science to the public as this public is capable of receiving and grasping it, even without the individual members of this public having received any particular philosophical training, if we is generally compelled to do so, it must be strictly emphasized that in the field of anthroposophy there is nothing that cannot be discussed in the strictest sense with what is necessary and right in the field of philosophy.
It would take us too far afield today to point out the reasons why philosophy could only enter into humanity at this time, in the time of Aristotle. Through anthroposophy, it will gradually become clear to many why a very specific age was necessary for the foundation of philosophy.

225. Cultural Phenomena — Three Perspectives of Anthroposophy: Three Perspectives of Anthroposophy: The Spiritual 22 Jul 1923, Dornach

Rudolf Steiner
For we can become intimate with anthroposophy. And we will become intimate with it if we understand how to take it in its reality. Today, in some external way, it has been suggested that one should develop a picture or something similar of anthroposophy.
If we really live with Anthroposophy as a real entity that walks among us in a higher sense, if we are real human beings, if we become intimate with this Anthroposophy, then we will be impelled to experience in real terms what humanity so urgently needs to experience in our time: not just an image for the soul's eye, but a love for the essence of anthroposophy in our hearts.
And this deep, intimate experience of anthroposophy in the human soul and in the human heart is the meditation that leads us to an encounter, to a real encounter with anthroposophy.
45. Anthroposophy, A Fragment (2024): The Human Being as a Sensory Organism
Tr. Automated

Rudolf Steiner
The beginning of anthroposophy is to be made with a consideration of the human senses. Through the senses, the human being enters into a relationship with an external world.
