18. The Riddles of Philosophy: Darwinism and World Conception
Translated by Fritz C. A. Koelln

Rudolf Steiner
If Hegel's world conception said that the self-conscious ego finds itself in the experience of pure thought, Haeckel's view of nature could reply that the thought experience is a result of the nature processes, is, indeed, their highest product.
75. The Relationship between Anthroposophy and the Natural Sciences: Anthroposophy and Science 02 Nov 1921, Basel

Rudolf Steiner
The question of how living beings could have come into being is, however, continuously critically treated – whereby one will reach the limits of knowledge – and then it is treated how organic life now also sprouts from what was initially only present in the primeval nebula, how man then emerged from this and how he experiences himself today in the self-confident ego. Now I have met people – and basically life is the greatest teacher, if you only know how to take it correctly – I have met people who took this scientific worldview seriously.
80b. The Inner Nature and the Essence of the Human Soul: Anthroposophy and the Riddle of the Soul 20 Mar 1922, Bern

Rudolf Steiner
The difference between anthroposophical experience and experience as a medium is that the person experiencing hallucinations or visions as a medium lives with his whole ego, with his whole personality, in these states, which are definitely connected with his physical development.
67. Manifestations of the Unconscious 21 Mar 1918, Berlin
Translated by Dorothy S. Osmond

Rudolf Steiner
The important thing is that a man shall permeate his life with the forces of his Ego. If certain obstructions make him incapable of doing so, his search for the requisite amount of egoism takes an abnormal path.
169. Toward Imagination: Toward Imagination 18 Jul 1916, Berlin
Translated by Sabine H. Seiler

Rudolf Steiner
We do not speak superficially of some vague kind of correspondence between the ego-sense and Aries or between the other senses and this or that sign of the zodiac. We speak about this correspondence because during the earlier periods of our earthly planet the senses of the human being were not yet developed to the point of being enclosed in the organism.
173b. The Karma of Untruthfulness I: LectureI XI 26 Dec 1916, Dornach
Translated by Johanna Collis

Rudolf Steiner
The author, a conceited fellow, has never belonged to our Society but has been entertaining the world with all sorts of double egos and such like. He has now used the opportunity of the various national hatreds and passions to mount an attack on our Anthroposophy of a kind which shows that his hands are not clean.
159. Christ In Relation To Lucifer and Ahriman 18 May 1915, Linz
Translated by Peter Mollenhauer

Rudolf Steiner
From the time of our falling asleep to the moment of our awakening we live with our spiritual-intellectual being as astral body and ego, and during this period we also live outside our habitual national identity. Only during the time from our awakening to the time when we fall asleep do we partake in our nationality, because then we are immersed in our physical body.
161. The Problem of Death: Lecture III 07 Feb 1915, Dornach
Translator Unknown

Rudolf Steiner
If one really wants to express with a certain surety of aim—if I may put it thus—that which is in the supersensible world and lives therein, as is the case with one who has gone through the gate of death, one must first and foremost be healed of what can be called the earthly ego-delusion. One must have succeeded in thinking of oneself as little as possible, in setting oneself as little as possible in the central point of the universe.
297. The Idea and Practice of Waldorf Education: Anthroposophy and the Art of Education 29 Dec 1920, Olten

Rudolf Steiner
Now Mach has also given us a remarkable example of his inability to get to the human ego at all. Mach once said – I don't want to say anything against his importance in a limited area, where he has it; but we live in a time in which even a person like that can say something like this – he said: self-knowledge is actually something that is very far from a person, because he was once he was quite tired – he was a university professor – walking along, a bus had just come along, so he jumped in and saw a strange man getting in on the other side – as if the bus could have been boarded from the other side as well.
71b. Man as a Being of Spirit and Soul: The Psychological Expression of the Unconscious 26 Feb 1918, Nuremberg
Translated by Michael Tapp, Elizabeth Tapp

Rudolf Steiner
But now the scientist of spirit, in practicing the activity necessary for spiritual investigation (as described yesterday), experiences another self, the same self, but in another form, the true ego—he experiences the spirit-soul nature of man independently of the bodily nature. However great a horror it may be for many people, it is nevertheless true that spiritual experiences are achieved outside the body.
