222. The Driving Force of Spiritual Powers in World History: Lecture V 18 Mar 1923, Dornach
Tr. Dorothy S. Osmond, Johanna Collis

Rudolf Steiner
What is necessary, then, is that the rulership of these thoughts—which is not a direct concern of human life (green) but of the cosmos—should be exercised by the Archai, the Spirits of Personality. But now, if we turn to the moral aspect of these thoughts we shall say to ourselves: When we enter the spiritual world—either through the gate of death or in the Earth's future or whenever it may be—when we enter the spiritual world we shall meet the Spirits of Personality, the Archai.
223. The Cycle of the Year as Breathing-Process of the Earth: Lecture II 01 Apr 1923, Dornach
Tr. Barbara Betteridge, Frances E. Dawson

Rudolf Steiner
Both were to be reached only through initiation, yet they were connected by what was in the atmosphere surrounding the Earth, in the Earth's periphery (green), Christmas calls for St. John's. St. John's calls for Christmas. Man would rigidify under the influence of the Ahrimanic powers if he could not be exposed to the loosening Luciferic powers, who again give wings to thought, so that it need not remain rigid but can thaw again under the influence of the light.
270. Esoteric Instructions: The Lesson in Berne 17 Apr 1924, Bern
Tr. John Riedel

Rudolf Steiner
In a diagram we could depict them like this: [left side of diagram] Thinking would be here [blue], not entirely separate but partly mingled with feeling [green], which in turn is partly mingled, not entirely separate from willing [red]. And thereby can a person maintain himself in physical life, by interweaving thinking, feeling, and willing with one another in his being.
354. The Evolution of the Earth and Man and The Influence of the Stars: Planetary influences on animals, plants and stones 09 Sep 1924, Dornach
Tr. Gladys Hahn

Rudolf Steiner
You can see from the following that the colors of plants are connected with the sun and moon. If you take plants that have beautiful green leaves and put them in the cellar, they become white, they lose every trace of color because the sun has not been shining on them.
348. Health and Illness, Volume I: The Eye; Colour of the Hair 13 Dec 1922, Dornach
Tr. Maria St. Goar

Rudolf Steiner
Around the pupil is the iris, which in some people is blue and in others gray, green, brown or black. Between the iris and the transparent tissue is a transparent fluid. Where you see the round blackness is the transparent skin, the cornea; behind that is the anterior chamber.
68a. The Essence of Christianity: The Kernels of Wisdom in Religions 03 Feb 1909, Basel

But Goethe did not claim that it makes no difference whether one speaks of the green leaf or the flower leaf. Step by step, like the rungs of a ladder, the plant develops from leaf to leaf to the height of the flower.
68c. Goethe and the Present: Goethe's Gospel I 26 Jan 1905, Berlin

Rudolf Steiner
We will then try, after I have inserted a lecture on the basic concepts of theosophy, to grasp Goethe where he reveals himself to us most profoundly and is least understood: in his fairy tale of the green snake and the beautiful lily, which one only has to understand to get a deep insight into the wisdom of the world on the one hand and into the innermost nature, into the innermost soul of Goethe on the other.
68c. Goethe and the Present: Goethe's Gospel II 02 Feb 1905, Berlin

Rudolf Steiner
You will see how much mysticism and theosophy lives in Goethe when we consider his secret revelations in the fairy tale of the green snake and the beautiful lily. But now let us look at this Rosicrucian coloring in his poem, which has remained a fragment.
68c. Goethe and the Present: Goethe, Hegel and Theosophy 15 Jun 1908, Munich

Rudolf Steiner
He strives for nothing less than to include in the content of the highest spiritual human culture that which connects human beings to the great spiritual realm, which they sensed as children, sought as adults, and expressed in the fairy tale of the green snake and the beautiful lily. He really wants to place these secrets before his soul, secrets about the spiritual and sensual-physical aspects of the human being.
69e. The Humanities and the Future of Humanity: The Humanities and the Future of Humanity 09 Dec 1910, Munich

Rudolf Steiner
Then his spiritual insights will show the same objectivity as, for example, our sensory eye shows us that the rose before us is not green but red, as other healthy eyes can also see. Then the inner soul experience is transformed into complete objectivity, then the spiritual researcher feels that his experiences are independent of his subjective feelings, and he has attained a certainty in his vision from which the results of spiritual research have been proclaimed here on many occasions.
