Spiritual Science and the Web of Natural and Cosmic Connections“Humanity has no other alternative before it today than either to learn again about the whole web of natural and cosmic connections, or to let both nature and humanity degenerate and die out. As in the past it is imperative that our knowledge should penetrate to the actual structure of Nature.” —Rudolf Steiner, Koberwitz, 1924 Seek The Web of Natural and Cosmic Connections through Our Platonic Spiritual Science | ||

Teachers of VirtueVirtue is not found in the world, it is wrapped up inside the soul and needs to be unfolded. To' save the soul' means to save the seed of virtue for the time, and place where the spirit reveals it to you. To understand it leads you into the heart of all the teachers of wisdom since ever this germ was found and fanned into life. Teachers are then called 'gardeners' of the soul, and teachers of the Way of the Spirit. From the Book of the Sayings of the Wise | ||

The Beast and the Man I meet a man with a hungry tiger in him-her , and was pretending to follow me, and allure me. I thought this is a beast, a tiger appeared in my thoughts and then I thought and heard: The tiger can only beat a man by ambushing, but a man can beat a tiger with good intelligence. What did this mean? I heard; Talk to the man with the beast in him-her breast: Friend, I said, A beast cannot win against a man who knows a beast is there. Cast out the beast within you and come and walk beside me. The man-beast was now afraid and called out : forget me, and say no more words to me, say you never knew me. The Spirit said within me, say to the man: Have no fear of me, I will never hurt you. No man can hurt another man; a man can only hurt himself. Hearing this the beast-man went away. But it was still hungry, and sought easier prey. The lesson to learn: the tiger symbolizes an invisible beast. A man can walk beside another man, but if the man is really a hungry beast, they cannot walk together, for the man will be killed and eaten for food. From the Book of the Wise | ||
