354. The Evolution of the Earth and Man and The Influence of the Stars: The weather and its causes 13 Sep 1924, Dornach
Tr. Gladys Hahn

Rudolf Steiner
Suppose you have a disc with, let's say, four colors on it—red, yellow, green, blue. If you rotate the disc slowly, you can easily distinguish all the four colors. If you rotate it more quickly, it is difficult but still possible to distinguish the colors.
What the weather is likely to be can be discovered by watching tree frogs, green tree frogs. I've made tiny ladders and observed whether they ran up or down. The tree frog is very sensitive to what the weather is going to be.

Rudolf Steiner
Beautiful, but now other words follow: Green the field, fruitful; man and herd At once at ease on the newest earth, Immediately settled on the strength of the hill, Which the bustling, industrious people have rolled up.
Show me the fruit that rots before it's broken, And trees that turn green every day! I'm not deterred by such a task, Mephistopheles replies, I can serve you with such treasures.

Rudolf Steiner
She lets Balder, our dearest god, awaken again before his eyes "in the green legendary grove of the Orient". Christus, then, is Balder, once overcome by evil, for whose return the German people longed because they already knew him, because they were prepared for him by their own legend of the gods.

11. Cosmic Memory: On the Origin of the Earth
Tr. Karl E. Zimmer

If the object is agreeable to the being and useful for its existence, the coloring is light in yellow nuances, or in green; if the object is disagreeable or is one which is harmful to the being, a blood-like, reddish color nuance appears.
90a. Self-Knowledge and God-Knowledge I: The Formation of the Aura II 19 Jan 1904, Berlin

In a person who is particularly imaginative, it appears through various green thought forms. In a person who has very pure, abstract thoughts, it appears through the yellow form.
90a. Self-Knowledge and God-Knowledge I: The Early Chapters of Genesis 12 Oct 1904, Berlin

Especially those that do not yet have the correct green color. During the third round, everything that not only takes life from the ground but also carries life forward is created.
66. Mind and Matter — Life and Death: The Beyond of the Senses and the Beyond of the Soul 31 Mar 1917, Berlin

Rudolf Steiner
After a certain time, he goes out again. Now there are green shoots everywhere. If he is observing rationally, will he not say: Yes, then the brown soil that I saw recently did not show me everything that is actually there.
Goethe made a very beautiful distinction between the green leaf and the colored petal of a flower, which are the same thing, only at different levels of existence, one being only a transformation product, a metamorphosis of the other.
The head shows that it is a transformed remaining organism; the remaining organism shows that it is a head that has not yet become. In a sense, just as the green leaf is a petal that has not yet become a flower, and the colored petal is a transformed leaf. And that which the human being develops through his remaining organism, that is incorporated into the soul.
34. The Education of the Child in the Light of Anthroposophy
Tr. George Adams, Mary Adams

Rudolf Steiner
An excitable child should be surrounded by and dressed in the red or reddish-yellow colours, whereas for a lethargic child one should have recourse to the blue or bluish-green shades of colour. For the important thing is the complementary colour, which is created within the child. In the case of red it is green, and in the case of blue orange-yellow, as may easily be seen by looking for a time at a red or blue surface and then quickly directing one's gaze to a white surface.
If the excitable child has a red colour around him, he will inwardly create the opposite, the green; and this activity of creating green has a calming effect. The organs assume a tendency to calmness.

Rudolf Steiner
—Many people say this, not only professors, but also people at the “green tables” of socialism. What is announced there is as haughty as what is spread by the other green tables.
