"The Christ is forevermore united with Earth and human evolution."
|
|
| 2 |
"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."
|
|
| 3 |
"The world, the universe, is the spoken Word of the Logos."
|
|
| 4 |
"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."
|
|
| 5 |
"The human is a living miniaturization of the cosmos."
|
|
| 6 |
"A great deal lies waiting in the womb of our spiritual evolution, but it can come to birth only through our willing, conscious cooperation."
|
|
| 7 |
"Self-knowledge is knowledge of the world and world knowledge is knowledge of the self."
|
|
| 8 |
"An imagination is the thought-matrix, the living picture from which physical reality manifests."
|
|
| 9 |
"Divine Wisdom lies at the foundation of everything."
|
|
| 10 |
"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."

"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
|
|
| 12 |
"The necessary enlivening of human thinking and the respiritualization of intelligence is a movement initiated from within the soul forces of each individual."
|
|
| 13 |
"The existence of the planet Earth is far from a random accident in an indifferent cosmos."
|
|
| 14 |
"We must willingly cooperate with the intentions of evolution and spiritual destiny. Our moral failure to develop spiritual cognition would render this future barren."
|
|
| 15 |
"The Human is the symphony of the creative Word and the perpetual revelation of the Logos."
|
|
| 16 |
"Spiritual knowledge, if it's genuine, if it's transmitted correctly, will quicken a human's nature. Spiritual information should help humans find their bearings in life; it would kindle within a deeper love, more understanding. The results are actual life and not dead theory; they come alive in a person and lead one to the whole Anthropos, the complete human."
|
|
| 17 |
"The Logos speaks to the human in an individual form, through an inner Word which comprises the human's essential being."
|
|
| 18 |
"The human being is the Logos made flesh, the Word incarnate. A revelation looms implicit in this syllogism."
|
|
| 19 |
"The Christ incarnation had a momentous purpose, a divine teleology that encompasses the entire life of the cosmos."
|
|
| 20 |
"Wisdom must become our ideal because everything we do, our thoughts, even our moods, influences the cosmos."
|
|
| 21 |
"The Logos connects everything in the interdependent web of being."
|
|
| 22 |
"The natural world is permeated with creative Spirit expressing itself as ideas."
|
|
| 23 |
"Human, cosmos, and supersensible worlds are all interdependently linked and have unfolded together. In other words, the creation, elaboration, and progression of the solar system, humanity, and the hierarchies were synchronous events. In a sense, each is a different face in a different context of the same thing: the Logos."
|
|
| 24 |
"Christ Jesus is the representative, the embodiment of the power which imparts to mankind the full consciousness of the 'I am'." Rudolf Steiner, 'The Gospel of Matthew'
|
|
| 25 |
"Humanity is ripening towards a time of unilateral cooperation."
