265a. Lessons for the Participants of Cognitive-Cultic Work 1906–1924: My Kingdom Is Not of This World 30 Mar 1914, Munich

Rudolf Steiner
Notes from Alice Kinkel “My kingdom is not of this world.” We must understand this saying, which has been so often misunderstood, either through false asceticism or through false accusations by opponents, as if one wanted to know nothing of this world. We must understand it correctly, very correctly. From the highest world, bring into this world the strength that only gives this world true essence.
Basel public: I am the way, the truth and the life; we follow him, he will lead us. Sign of the number under which a year stands. Very significant sign of the conversion of numbers, according to which is calculated.
265a. Lessons for the Participants of Cognitive-Cultic Work 1906–1924: Man As A Tool Of The Gods 27 Apr 1914, Berlin

Rudolf Steiner
The earth also breathes and feeds itself; and these are the plants of the earth. And just as the bone system underlies our body, so the mineral underlies the earth. [And just as we stand on the earth, we are embedded in it, just as the eye is embedded in the brain.
What is proclaimed from the pulpits about Christ can be understood as an atavistic world view, and is directed only at our egotism and sentimentality. But our karma leads us, so to speak, to proclaim a new world view.
Because he wants to keep us from knowing that we are an organ of the earth, that is why we are so difficult to understand in the world. More and more confusion. But our organization is such that at night we leave our physical and etheric bodies here, and the astral body and the ego go into the spiritual world.
265a. Lessons for the Participants of Cognitive-Cultic Work 1906–1924: The Human Being: The Spiritual Eye of the Hierarchies 10 May 1914, Kassel

Rudolf Steiner
The spiritual hierarchies perceive the soul of the human being as their soul. Just as these hierarchies have undergone a soul-spiritual development, they are now undergoing their physical development in humanity. We should learn to feel more and more that we are organs of these high beings.
265a. Lessons for the Participants of Cognitive-Cultic Work 1906–1924: The Importance of Human Thought in the Present Day 01 Jun 1914, Basel

Rudolf Steiner
The religion of the future will be that which is understood in spiritual science. The temple of the future will be that whose first image we are attempting to erect in our Dornach building.
The Father pours forth His holy Will, His creative power; the Christ looks up, sacrificing Himself: “Thy will be done!” It is our fault that we do not yet understand the great mystery of his work. We are in the bosom of the Father by night and look down at our body, in which the servants of Christ work, and we should tell each other this. Religion must be a selfless one, then man will sacrifice to the Godhead and learn to understand that sacrifice means the most sacred thing to unite with the Godhead.
265a. Lessons for the Participants of Cognitive-Cultic Work 1906–1924: Mantram: I Entered this World of the Senses 04 Dec 1921, Dornach

Rudolf Steiner
There one must also find one's self (which was awakened to conscious life in man through Xri[s] (abbreviation by Karl Enggvist) death), learn to understand how this higher self has fought its way out... through what happens in time. One must direct one's attention to the fact that time is a creative being that incessantly sends its impulses among people so that they may develop their ego here on earth, may find their ego. ...
265a. Lessons for the Participants of Cognitive-Cultic Work 1906–1924: The Guardian of the Threshold 21 May 1923, Dornach

Rudolf Steiner
But now a voice is heard (which the disciple now understands as coming from an angel), which the disciple now understands as coming from an angel: "Thus sounds the world word.
But this connection can also be strengthened by studying nature and the cosmos; by recognizing the laws, essences and forces that operate there, and gradually sensing the spiritual forces that are the driving ones. Here one learns to understand the language of the hierarchies, God's language – thoughts of the cosmos are hidden in it. In the beginning, it is not easy to understand this language. To say that everything in nature is an expression of divinity is quite easy. But to understand what thoughts and what is hidden behind nature and the cosmos, that is, to fully understand this language, is only learned through occult experiences in the spiritual world.
265a. Lessons for the Participants of Cognitive-Cultic Work 1906–1924: Freemasonry Note by Mathilde Scholl III

Rudolf Steiner
O etheric body of man; imagine spiral lines in whose circles the human body stands; think O (underlined) IAO means the individualization of the human being in / demarcation. TAO means the state when the human being was still a group soul.
265a. Lessons for the Participants of Cognitive-Cultic Work 1906–1924: Letter of Invitation from Arthur Rösel and Horst von Henning

Rudolf Steiner
Rudolf Steiner of Berlin, will give a public lecture on “Our World Situation” in the hall of the “Amalia” lodge at eight o'clock on Tuesday the 23rd of the month, to which we, the undersigned, would like to extend a very special invitation. After the lecture, Dr. Steiner will answer any questions addressed to him, and this will give you the opportunity to find out more about the teachings of the school of thought known as “Theosophy”, which you may not be fully familiar with, and which you, as a Freemason striving for the broadest possible knowledge, should not miss.
265a. Lessons for the Participants of Cognitive-Cultic Work 1906–1924: Letter from Baron Ferdinand Georg Friedrich von Wrangell

Ferdinand von Wrangell
If, in the presence of the teacher, one of the students makes false assertions without being refuted, serious damage can result. I understand very well the motives for which you, with regard to the lectures of your students (and these are all members of the Anthroposophical Society), pay homage to the principle “the more, the better”; but as a seminar leader who is concerned about the development of his students, seeks to involve all of them in the preparation of presentations, but only with the proviso that the mistakes made are corrected in the presence of those present, for their benefit and edification.
265a. Lessons for the Participants of Cognitive-Cultic Work 1906–1924: Letter from Elisabeth Winkler to Johanna and Lina Arnold

Elisabeth Winkler
The conclusion was magnificent: as I said elsewhere, they said that we would be hated in the future, not only out in the world, but also among the pseudo-theosophists, so vigilance would be in order. And if one could understand our striving in the spiritual world as prayer, then one should not forget to precede the “pray” with the “watch”: “Watch and pray!”
