156. An Age of Expectation 07 Oct 1914, Dornach

Rudolf Steiner
That is the tremendous blessing of Christian Morgenstern's having connected with the spirit of our movement and thus having had the opportunity to carry it up so that those beings in the spiritual world who longed to know anthroposophy could see it. In my dealings with Christian Morgenstern, I often had to think of two facts after his death.
It is not recorded which poems were recited, but they certainly included the following two: ANTHROPOSOPHY Oh world, - you poor human, you who do not know, what is happening here in the midst of you .
I therefore believe that eurythmy will become popular in our circles and be accepted as something that can help a great deal. You cannot teach your children Anthroposophy directly, but they can do eurythmy and will be able to cope with the life they are heading for in a completely different way than if they do not do eurythmy.
192. Humanistic Treatment of Social and Educational Issues: Eleventh Lecture 29 Jun 1919, Stuttgart

Rudolf Steiner
Not even the greatest man can transcend this fundamental law of human existence. Theosophy, even in its form as anthroposophy, would have been unreservedly rejected by him (Goethe). “ So you see, this is how a person views Goethe's way of thinking. He points out the instinctive element, the penetration into the archetypal phenomena, and then says: Theosophy, even in its form as anthroposophy, would have been unreservedly rejected by Goethe. What thoughts does one have in the present about something like this, if one really thinks in terms of progress? One has to say: certainly, Theosophy, also in its form as Anthroposophy, would have been rejected by Goethe. But to present it to humanity in the way it is presented here in this book is to sin against the progress of humanity.
300a. Faculty Meetings with Rudolf Steiner I: Eighteenth Meeting 21 Sep 1920, Stuttgart
Tr. Ruth Pusch, Gertrude Teutsch

Rudolf Steiner
The Waldorf School must continue, it simply must succeed because it puts anthroposophy to the test. There are only two reasons why it may fail. First, because the school could no longer continue due to a change in the education laws, but we could endure that reason.
What we have here as a question of confidence is your trust in Anthroposophy, and what we have now arose from that. I certainly do not believe that the Württemberg Department of Education would have allowed less for you than for the good name of the Waldorf-Astoria Company.
300a. Course for Young Doctors: Introduction

That means that everything that is wanted and worked for in such a society must arise from the heart, the very center of Anthroposophy itself. Dr. Steiner emphasized this most particularly when he came to speak of the scientific tendencies which have sprung up within the anthroposophical movement in the last years.
First of all, we must become conscious of our true humanity, and as physicians, especially of our will to heal. It is just Anthroposophy that gives us the possibility of acquiring those capacities which reveal the relation of every single thing in the outer world to the human being, so that we are then able to direct the forces of the outer world to the sick human being, so that they support his own forces of healing.
211. The End of the Dark Age 11 Jun 1922, Vienna
Tr. Unknown

Rudolf Steiner
Death, Resurrection. This lecture is also known as: Anthroposophy, a Striving for Spiritual Understanding of Nature Permeated by Christ. Mankind unfolded its intellectual life in the course of many centuries.
211. The Reappearance of Christ in the Etheric: Introduction
Tr. Barbara Betteridge, Ruth Pusch, Diane Tatum, Alice Wuslin, Margaret Ingram de Ris

René M. Querido
During the first half of 1910, Rudolf Steiner gave lectures that marked a new development in the movement of spiritual science (later known as anthroposophy and founded at the turn of the century). Earlier, he had repeatedly spoken of the dawn of the Light Age in 1899, following a period of spiritual darkness known as Kali Yuga, which had lasted 5,000 years.
260. The Christmas Conference : On Behalf of the Members 20 Jun 1924, Dornach
Tr. Johanna Collis, Michael Wilson

Rudolf Steiner
But we know that the felicity brought by this love cannot be measured with the yard-stick known to us from times preceding Anthroposophy, for it will be paired with severe pain, with fateful destinies. But we also know that it is nevertheless a felicity that will lead us to salvation.
339. The Art of Lecturing: Lecture I 11 Oct 1921, Dornach
Tr. Fred Paddock, Maria St. Goar, Peter Stebbing, Beverly Smith

Rudolf Steiner
I am of the opinion, that, in this course we are now starting, it is [a question of] a discussion of what is necessary in order really to connect one's self responsibly with the movement of Anthroposophy and the Threefold Idea. The course will therefore not be arranged for lecturers in general, but as a kind of orientation course for the personalities, who have made it their task to work in the direction indicated. Personalities who receive what can come from Anthroposophy simply as a kind of information will not get much from this course. Indeed, at present, we definitely need activity within our movement.
And I shall treat this spoken word so as to take into consideration, that he who sets himself the task of delivering a lecture for Anthroposophy is perhaps not working under conditions in which interest is already present, but is working to awaken interest by the first few lectures.
343. Foundation Course: Spiritual Discernment, Religious Feeling, Sacramental Action: Prayer and Symbolism 29 Sep 1921, Dornach
Tr. Hanna von Maltitz

Rudolf Steiner
It is important that the question which we had yesterday and actually have been considering during the past days from the side of Anthroposophy, we now approach from a religious side, but again I don't want to do it through definitions and explanations but in a more concrete way.
When one speaks from the side of knowledge, one deals mainly with the content; when one speaks about Anthroposophy as a religious element, my dear friends, then we need to pay attention to Goethe's words: Not What we think, but more How we think!—and for this reason I said yesterday, Anthroposophy inevitably, as is its character, leads to a religious experience, it flows into a religious experience through the How, how its content is experienced.
