13. An Outline of Occult Science: Cognition of the Higher Worlds — Initiation
Tr. Henry B. Monges, Maud B. Monges, Lisa D. Monges

Rudolf Steiner
Furthermore, I may say to myself that the human being has a greater perfection than the plant, but he has purchased this perfection at the price of permitting instincts, desires, and passions to enter into his nature besides the forces of the plant, which appear pure to us. I now visualize how the green sap flows through the plant and that it is an expression of the pure, passionless laws of growth.
In my thoughts I look now, for example, upon the rose and say, In the red rose petal I see the color of the green plant sap transformed into red, and the red rose, like the green leaf, follows the pure, passionless laws of growth.
61. Good Fortune 07 Dec 1911, Berlin
Tr. R. H. Bruce

Rudolf Steiner
This must lead to a point of view which, with a slight adaptation of Goethe's words, we may describe thus: Man stands with courage at the helm By wind and waves the ship is driven— The wind and waves do not affect him. Controlling them he looks in the green depths And trusts, no matter wrecked or safe in port, The forces of his inner being. 1.
176. Aspects of Human Evolution: Lecture III 19 Jun 1917, Berlin
Tr. Rita Stebbing

Rudolf Steiner
He was clad in his regiment's ceremonial uniform, consisting of green jacket with red collar and cuffs, yellow waistcoat and stockings, leggings to above the knee (he had already as Grand Duke made a habit of never bending the knees when walking as this, to him, seemed more dignified) long pigtail, two powdered coils, a hat with upturned brim, and as his symbol he carried a knobbed staff.
175. Cosmic and Human Metamorphoses: Errors and Truths 20 Mar 1917, Berlin
Tr. Unknown

Rudolf Steiner
Our key does not unlock, the right key had been lost, and until we find it again our investigations will find no green branch. We lack a fundamental conception of the Bible not expressly given in the text itself, but as long as we make researches without the system which can be found therein and which is not in our schools, the Bible must remain a half-closed book.
139. The Gospel of St. Mark: Lecture III 17 Sep 1912, Basel
Tr. Conrad Mainzer, Stewart C. Easton

Rudolf Steiner
And he ordered them all to sit down on the green grass as if it had been a table. And they lay down as if for bed, by hundreds and by fifties. And he took the five loaves and the two fishes, looked up to heaven, blessed and broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples to set before them; in the same way he divided the two fishes among them.
169. Toward Imagination: The Immortality of the I 06 Jun 1916, Berlin
Tr. Sabine H. Seiler

Rudolf Steiner
He turns to Goethe, reads his works, for example, the following report: I had the gift that when I closed my eyes, and with bowed head imagined a flower in the center of my eye, it did not stay for even a moment in its first form, but unfolded itself and new flowers with colored as well as green leaves grew out of it. They were not natural flowers, but imaginary ones, yet regular as the roses of a sculptor.
155. On the Meaning of Life: Lecture I 23 May 1912, Copenhagen
Tr. Unknown

Rudolf Steiner
To occult vision is revealed how in the same measure as green plants come forth from the earth in Spring, those spirits whom we call the earth-spirits, withdraw from the earth.
157. The Destinies of Individuals and of Nations: Lecture V 19 Jan 1915, Berlin
Tr. Anna R. Meuss

Rudolf Steiner
If you then also include the stream that led from Goethe's Fairy Tale of the Green Snake and the Fair Lily29 to the dramatization of the basic forces of initiation30 and take the two streams together, you will have the inner connection.
157a. The Forming of Destiny and Life after Death: Lecture on the Poem of Olaf Åsteson 21 Dec 1915, Berlin
Tr. Harry Collison

Rudolf Steiner
It even sent a reflection into other regions of the sky, a pale green light, which moved and coated gently among the stars. Then arose sheaves of various lights above the arch, like the spikes of a crown, and they flamed.
159. The Mystery of Death: Cosmic Effects on the Human Members During Sleep 07 May 1915, Vienna
Tr. Unknown

Rudolf Steiner
It is strange that we feel this world at which we look there falling asleep that we feel it as we feel the earth in spring when it produces the single green rungs, after it has been freed from the snowy cover of the winter, when it makes the vegetation grow on it again, when everything begins shooting and sprouting.
