“All countries swim in the sea. Can you imagine that? It is not true that countries go down to the bottom, but the country, all countries, swim in the sea. Beneath the countries there is also the sea. England was once down there under the sea. One would, when one crossed this piece of the sea, of course, hit the ground. So the thing is that there have been times when England was under the sea. Why is such an island that actually floats in water, not going back and forth like a ship? Well, the earth is not the reason. The reason is the constellation. " (Rudolf Steiner)

“The women excrete human germs every four weeks. First, for a very short time, they are devoted to the moon influence. There they are protected. Now, however, the female organism is arranged so that it carries outwards the human germ. Since the seed comes under the influence of earth, the earths influence destroys the human germ.

Constantly, such unfertilized germs are going away from the earth to the space beyond. So if, for example, someone might perceive such a thing, and he would sit on top of Venus, then the ascending vapors would not interest him.

But what continually goes up into space, he would see above as a greenish-yellow light; because seen from afar it is a kind of greenish-yellow light. And he would find that the light comes out of some kind of world body.” (Rudolf Steiner)

Life shows us that a person who is unable to flare up with anger at injustice or folly will never develop true kindness and love.  Equally, a person who educates himself through noble anger will have a heart abounding in love, and through love he will do good.  Love and kindness are the obverse of noble anger.  Anger that is overcome and purified will be transformed into the love that is its counterpart.  A loving hand is seldom one that has never been clenched in response to injustice or folly.  Anger and love are complementary.

“Anthroposophy is a path of knowledge aiming to guide the spiritual element in the human being to the spiritual in the universe.”

- Rudolf Steiner

The word “anthroposophy” means “wisdom of the human being,” or, for us today, “awareness of one’s humanity.”

Knowledge of spirit can only be found by spiritual means. Anthroposophy offers an inner path of schooling to attain such knowledge. It takes its starting point from modern critical consciousness and our contemporary orientation toward technology and science. It is a kind of study and schooling that leads to concrete experience of the spiritual dimensions of the human being and the world.
