  When we are in nature and hope that she will tell us something more about herself than we can perceive and think so directly, we may also hope that we can simply turn off our thinking and that she will then speak to us. And perhaps 'something' also speaks when we can get into a kind of trance.... read more...

  In the 1924 lecture on Raimundus from Sabunda, Rudolf Steiner does explain how reading in the book of nature could be developed. Only he doesn't say it like in a textbook, but he does say it anyway:... read more...

  We can learn to imagine how in Greek times nature still revealed its living activity to man, whenever he made observations in nature. The stronger we try to imagine this process, the more clearly we experience how we are in a apparently mindless and soulless nature in our time. The longing for the perception of the genuine life ... read more...

  The purer and more majestic nature around us is, the more painful we feel the distance that ordinary consciousness creates between us and this grandiose nature. We can't conceive the essence of nature at all, it's outside of us whenever we want to get close to it... So shouldn't everyone have to experience the questi... read more...

  Were it not that, during his earthly life, man could preserve some part of what before his birth became purely thought life, he would never be able to achieve freedom. For, in that case, man would be bound up with what is dead, and the moment he wanted to call into free activity what in himself is related to the dead element in ... read more...

  From my first introduction to anthroposophy, I experienced the michaelic impulse to be able to transform abstract-intellectual thinking into living and concrete thinking. This impulse should be generated in all areas of anthroposophy. If you then delve into the ‘Study of Man’ (GA 293) with regard to the upbringing of... read more...

  If one wants to become an anthroposophist in such a way that one receives the anthroposophical thoughts and then not simply passively surrenders to them, but by a strong will pours into the thoughts, into the pure thoughts of anthroposophy that which one is in dreamless sleep during every night, then one has climbed the first st... read more...

  Last week's quote is balanced by the following. Of course, with purely intellectualist thinking, we cannot think any further about Rudolf Steiner's work, but we do have to do something about our thinking. I will try to substantiate this with this quote and next week's quote.... read more...

  A long, long time ago I read in a book from the ‘Gesamtausgabe’ from Rudolf Steiner a passage that gave me the courage to think so intensely and warmly about the contents of Anthroposophy that they begin to grow and flourish in my own spiritual activity. Within anthroposophical circles there are people who think that... read more...

  After we had studied the theme of karma and reincarnation in the past few years, we had decided to look at 'the other hemisphere' for these three days, i.e. the life between death and birth and the life with the deceased. In 2017 I had written 'impressions from death', an attempt to describe impressions of life b... read more...
