"The human, in the act of knowing, of attaining knowledge, actually participates in the creation of the world, contributing something indispensable to the wholeness of being. Cognition is world generative and, through the pure moral impulses it produces, it is equally world restorative."
|
|
2 |
"The unfoldment of the human and the cosmos are reciprocally interdependent and simultaneous events."
|
|
3 |
"The human being is the Logos made flesh, the Word incarnate. A revelation looms implicit in this syllogism."
|
|
4 |
"The human is a living miniaturization of the cosmos."
|
|
5 |
"Sophia (Holy Wisdom) lies hidden in every atom and every stone, every tree and every flower. Her magic wand of revelation lies concealed within each of us." Rudolf Steiner
|
|

"At the moment in which man realizes that he is embedded within the total organism of the earth…at that moment there exists an objective basis for morality." Rudolf Steiner

"Through enlivened thinking and the exercise of living imagination, humans will return light to the cosmos. Something will be added to the world through our cognitive activity."
|
|
8 |
"The necessary enlivening of human thinking and the respiritualization of intelligence is a movement initiated from within the soul forces of each individual."
|
|
9 |
"We think we have an individual being in front of us, but this individual is a picture, on a certain spot, of the whole world."
|
|
10 |
"Wisdom must become our ideal because everything we do, our thoughts, even our moods, influences the cosmos."
|
|
11 |
"The cosmos becomes aware of itself through an awakening humanity, recognizing its spiritual elements…Our cognition of the cosmic constituency of the human being is itself an act of cosmic self-awareness, in which the inherent self-reflexivity of the Logos becomes activated."
|
|
12 |
"The divine-spiritual lives in each human individuality."
|
|
13 |
"The Logos speaks to the human in an individual form, through an inner Word which comprises the human's essential being."
|
|
14 |
"The Christ incarnation had a momentous purpose, a divine teleology that encompasses the entire life of the cosmos."
|
|
15 |
"Self-knowledge is knowledge of the world and world knowledge is knowledge of the self."
|
|
16 |
"The Creator…in pointing with the word, he shows himself, and is revealed. This is the primal revelation, creation itself." Georg Kuhlewind, 'Becoming Aware of the Logos'
|
|

"By no other way than through cognitive free will could humans come to inner freedom and true individuality."
|
|
18 |
"Divine Wisdom lies at the foundation of everything."
|
|
19 |
"A great deal lies waiting in the womb of our spiritual evolution, but it can come to birth only through our willing, conscious cooperation."
|
|
20 |
"We must willingly cooperate with the intentions of evolution and spiritual destiny. Our moral failure to develop spiritual cognition would render this future barren."
|
|
21 |
"The Human is the symphony of the creative Word and the perpetual revelation of the Logos."
|
|
22 |
"The existence of the planet Earth is far from a random accident in an indifferent cosmos."
|
|
23 |
"The Christ is forevermore united with Earth and human evolution."
|
|

"An imagination is the thought-matrix, the living picture from which physical reality manifests."
|
|
