37. Writings on the History of the Anthroposophical Movement and Society 1902–1925: To the Members of the Anthroposophical and the Free Anthroposophical Society in Germany

These institutions have arisen in a thoroughly justified way from the intentions of these friends on the basis of the anthroposophical movement. And it was also understandable that when these friends strove for the realization of such practical ideas, the wish arose for me to be involved in the administration of the corresponding institutions.
37. Writings on the History of the Anthroposophical Movement and Society 1902–1925: A Bit about My English Journey 09 Sep 1923,

With a true educational genius, McMillan seeks to understand the peculiarities of the child's mind. The book is a treasure trove of the most precious observations of the child's soul and of educational instructions that are drawn from these observations.
After reading the book, I felt that the author could be understood very well by saying: Anyone who is able to penetrate into education and teaching in this way must also be able to follow the path I had to speak about on my lecture tour in Ilkley.
37. Writings on the History of the Anthroposophical Movement and Society 1902–1925: Another Piece From My English Journey 16 Sep 1923,

Thus arose in the north of Europe an understanding of nature that saw the Frost, Storm and Fire Giants where we see “forces of nature” today. During our stay in Penmaenmawr, we became aware of the natural effects that arose from the earth, lived in the air, and streamed down from the sun and radiated.
37. Writings on the History of the Anthroposophical Movement and Society 1902–1925: The Formation of the General Anthroposophical Society Through the Christmas Conference of 1923 13 Jan 1924,

Anthroposophy is cultivated at the Goetheanum, which since the fire has only had makeshift rooms made of wood. What the leaders of the Goetheanum understand by this care and what effect they expect it to have on human civilization should be stated. Then how they envision this care in a free university for spiritual science.
Every member of the Anthroposophical Society has the right to participate in all lectures, other presentations and meetings organized by it under the conditions to be announced by the board. 7. The establishment of the School of Spiritual Science is initially the responsibility of Rudolf Steiner, who is to appoint his co-workers and his eventual successor. 8.
2. The conditions under which one comes to the School for training have been publicly described and will continue to be published.

But just as you don't need to be a painter to feel the beauty of a picture, you don't need to be a spiritual researcher to understand a great deal of what the spiritual researcher has to say. Through the abilities present in him, the spiritual researcher steps forward before the worlds in which spiritual beings live and spiritual processes occur.
If many people believe that what is presented by the spiritual researcher in the form of an idea is not understandable in itself, it is only because they have lost the way to such understanding. They have become accustomed to considering as proved only what is supported by sense perception, and have no sense that ideas can be mutually self-proving.
Just as little as one can speak of suggestion when one sees a person whom one has only heard of before, so little can one do so when one hears the effect of the spiritual world, which appears with all the qualities of reality, after one has first understood it in ideas. It will therefore generally be the case that people first get to know the spiritual world in the form of ideas.

Naturally, it can only express itself imperfectly at the moment. But it will be better understood when people become more familiar with anthroposophy in general. Miss E. Maryon helped me in the development of this style in a way that befits the leader of the sculpture section.

Therefore, they cannot become a member of the School without fully understanding the context of what anthroposophy sees as its task. Everyone should judge for themselves whether they want to become a member of the school based on what they have come to know as a member of the Anthroposophical Society.
Anyone who has taken an interest in the Society's work for a sufficiently long time knows that Anthroposophy would lose all meaning the moment it undertook anything that went against the independent, level-headed, insightful will of its members. Anthroposophy cannot truly achieve its goals with will-less tools.
37. Writings on the History of the Anthroposophical Movement and Society 1902–1925: The School of Spiritual Science V 17 Feb 1924,

This statement as such is of course good, and everything that happens in this direction will be warmly welcomed by the leadership at the Goetheanum. But it must not be understood to mean: We are coming to you at this moment, so transform us to be members of the School of Spiritual Science.
37. Writings on the History of the Anthroposophical Movement and Society 1902–1925: The School of Spiritual Science VI 24 Feb 1924,

But this consolation could easily become a disaster. We should understand the young from the “spirit of the present” in both their questionable aberrations and their all too justified striving for something other than what the old give them.
But science needs young people. At the Goetheanum, we would like to understand young people in such a way that we can seek the paths to a worldview with them. And we hope that in the light of the worldview, a true love for science will be generated.
The leadership of the Anthroposophical Society asks young people if they want to understand it too. If it finds this understanding, then the “Section for the Spiritual Striving of Youth” can become something vital.
37. Writings on the History of the Anthroposophical Movement and Society 1902–1925: To the Shareholders of Futurum AG 25 Feb 1924, Dornach

Dear Sir, Under Dr. Wegman's leadership, this institute is, in my view, a true model of how the Anthroposophical Society could only wish for.
It is true that the Goetheanum does not gain anything in its funds from the fact that it receives share capital from Futurum in liquidation in this way; but the spiritual gain achieved by connecting the clinic to the Goetheanum is so significant that I hope our members who are shareholders will understand. It would also ensure that those members who are shareholders and who depend on their dividends would not suffer a further reduction due to further depreciation.
