Quote

The task of understanding is not to replicate in conceptual form something that already exists, but rather to create a wholly new realm, that together with the world given to our senses constitutes the fullness of reality.

Image
Only when I follow my love for my objective is it I myself who act.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
Where the realm of freedom of thought and action begin, the determination of individuals according to generic laws ends.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
Thinking... is no more and no less an organ of perception than the eye or ear. Just as the eye perceives colours and the ear sounds, so thinking perceives ideas
Rudolf Steiner
Image
For human beings, love is the most important fruit of experience in the sense world.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
The sun with loving light makes bright for me each day, the soul with spirit power gives strength unto my limbs. In sunlight shining clear I revere, Oh God, the strength of humankind, which thou has planted in my soul, that I may with all my might, may love to work and learn. From thee stream light and strength to thee rise love and thanks.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
Where God's presence is no longer a tenable proposition and where his absence is no longer a felt, indeed overwhelming weight, certain dimensions of thought and creativity are no longer attainable.
Rudolf Steiner

Sounds are the echo of the Harmony of the Spheres which man took into himself when he came down from the divine-spiritual world into the physical world.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
For what lies inside of man is the whole spiritual cosmos in condensed form. In man's inner organism we have an image of the entire cosmos.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
Thoughts that deny reincarnation are transformed in the next life into an inner unreality, an inner emptiness of life this inner unreality and emptiness are experienced as torment, as disharmony.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
If man wants to obtain knowledge of the greatness and happiness of these worlds, then is nothing else possible than that he also will be introduced to the dangerous, with the fearfulness that they contain. One is not possible without the other.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
Geometry is knowledge that appears to be produced by human beings, yet whose meaning is totally independent of them.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
Every human being shall see in each and all of his fellow-men a hidden divinity... that every human being is made in the likeness of the Godhead. When that time comes there will be no need for any religious coercion for then every meeting between one man and another will of itself be in the nature of a religious rite, a sacrament.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
It naturally elevates the soul to feel this intimate relationship to it's primal ground...A man then feels himself truly at home, and whenever he is lifted up through music he can say to himself: Yes, you come from other worlds, and in music you can experience your native place.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
When you try to do one step forward to attain knowledge about the hidden truths, then do the same time three steps forward to perfect your character.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
In so far as we think, we are the all-one being that pervades everything.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
Anthroposophy is a path of knowledge, to guide the spiritual in the human being to the spiritual in the universe... Anthroposophists are those who experience, as an essential need of life, certain questions on the nature of the human being and the universe, just as one experiences hunger and thirst.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
The student of mathematics must get rid of all arbitrary thinking and follow purely the demands of thought. In thinking in this way, the laws of the spiritual world flow into him. This regulated thinking leads to the most spiritual truths.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
The higher worlds are around us. These worlds are not only heavenly worlds, not only worlds of happiness, though paradise and happiness are in them, but they are also worlds that could be terrible for the people, by dangerous facts and creatures.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
Anthroposophie is not a religion but a tool for understanding of religions.
Rudolf Steiner
