Rudolf Steiner:  "I need to point out how difficult it is for any individual to be open to spiritual science if he is up to his ears in what will come his way if he succumbs entirely to the superficial trends that dominate all areas of modern thought."

"Turn my eyes from worthless things,
and give me life through your Word."
Psalm 119:37







Rudolf Steiner:  "Those striving to become ripe for esoteric development must widen the circle of their interests beyond everyday life. They must get away from the things that otherwise keep us going from morning to night, and must reach out to interests that move on the great horizon of the world."


"Read not the Times, read the Eternities" — Thoreau




Things in the world's spaces
Speak to human senses,
Changing in the course of time.
By cognizing, the human soul,
Unbounded by the distances of space
And undisturbed by the course of time,
Penetrates into the kingdom of eternities.


                                              Rudolf Steiner


Es sprechen zu den Menschensinnen
die Dinge in den Raumesweiten,
Sie wandeln sich im Zeitenlaufe.
Erkennend dringt die Menschenseele,
von Raumesweiten unbegrenzt
und ungestoert durch Zeitenlauf,
ins Reich der Ewigkeiten.

Growing Old : Going to Seed






Rudolf Steiner:
"When we study life through the knowledge given by initiation, we see that the human being's soul-spiritual core directs the experiences of life more and more toward its inner center, abstracting them from the external world. We understand and we can see how the soul-spiritual part gradually retreats from the external world. We can see the face getting old and wrinkled, and we obtain the immediate impression: Whereas our physical body begins to fade, after we have reached the climax of life, and even our brain decays, so that the soul can no longer express its own content, and even the soul itself seems to decay, we see on the other hand that the part that can no longer express itself outwardly gradually withdraws to the person's inner being, and concentrates its forces, so that everything which we have experienced, suffered, and achieved is gathered within the soul, and is at its strongest, its most powerful, when the body releases our soul-spiritual part. If we follow this process, we find that this strongest force within us becomes united with forces of the supersensible world, forming the prototype of a new incarnation, of a new body for a new life on Earth."



"Die, and Become"
the inscription on the Holy Grail
