Rudolph Steiner InitiationRudolf Steiner (25 February 1861 30 March 1925), born in presentCroatia, was a scholar, educator, artist, playwright, social thinker,and esotericist. He was the founder of Anthroposophy, Waldorfeducation, biodynamic agriculture and Anthroposophical medicine.

He characterized Anthroposophy as follows:

Anthroposophy is a path of knowledge, to guide the spiritual in the humanbeing to the spiritual in the universe. Anthroposophists are those whoexperience, as an essential need of life, certain questions on the nature of the

human being and the universe, just as one experiences hunger and thirst.

Steiner advocated a form of ethical individualism, to which he later brought a more explicitly spiritual

component. He derived his belief system from Goethes world view, where Thinking is no moreand no less an organ of perception than the eye or ear. Just as the eye perceives colours and the earsounds, so thinking perceives ideas.

Steiner's father, Johann, was a telegraph operator on the Southern Austrian Railway. At the time ofRudolf's birth he was stationed in what is now the northern part of Croatia.

The young Rudolf was interested in mathematics and philosophy. From 1879 to 1883 he attended theTechnical University in Vienna, where he studied mathematics, physics and chemistry. In 1882, one ofSteiner's teachers in Vienna, Karl Julius Schrer, suggested Steiner's name to Professor Joseph

Krschner, editor of a new edition of Goethe's works. Steiner was then asked to become the edition'sscientific editor.

In his autobiography, Steiner related that at 21, on the train between his home and Vienna, he met asimple herb gatherer, Felix Kogutski, who spoke about the spiritual world "as someone who had his ownexperiences of it...." This herb gatherer introduced Steiner to a person that Steiner only identified as a"master" and who had a great influence on Steiner's subsequent development, in particular directinghim in his study of philosophy.

Truth and KnowledgeIn 1891 Steiner earned a doctorate in philosophy at the University ofRostock in Germany with his thesis, later published in expanded formas Truth and Knowledge.

In 1888, as a result of his work for the Krschner edition of Goethe'sworks, Steiner was invited to work as an editor at the Goethe archivesin Weimar. Steiner remained with the archive until 1896. As well as theintroductions and commentaries on four volumes of Goethe's scientificwritings, Steiner wrote two books about Goethe's philosophy. He also

collaborated in complete editions of Arthur Schopenhauers work andwrote articles for various journals.

During his time at the archives, Steiner wrote what he considered hismost important philosophical work, The Philosophy of Freedom(1894), anexploration of epistemology and ethics that suggested a path uponwhich humans can become spiritually free beings.

In 1897, Steiner left the Weimar archives and moved to Berlin. He became owner, chief editor, andactive contributor to a literary journal where he hoped to find a readership sympathetic to his

philosophy. His work in the magazine was not well received by its readership, including the alienationof subscribers following Steiner's unpopular support of mile Zola in the Dreyfus Affair.

In 1899, Steiner married Anna Eunicke. They were later separated. Anna died in 1911

In the Theosophical SocietyA turning point came in 1899, when Steiner decided to publish an article Goethe's Secret Revelation, onthe esoteric nature of Goethe's fairy tale, The Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily. This article led to aninvitation by the Count and Countess Brockdorff to speak to a gathering of Theosophists on the

subject of Nietzsche. Steiner continued speaking regularly to the members of the TheosophicalSociety, becoming the head of its newly constituted German section in 1902. It was within this societythat Steiner met and worked with Marie von Sievers, who eventually became his second wife in 1914.

By 1904, Steiner was appointed by Annie Besant to be leader of theEsoteric Society for Germany and Austria. The German Section ofthe Theosophical Society grew rapidly under Steiner's leadership ashe lectured throughout much of Europe on his spiritual science.

During this period Steiner developed an original approach,replacing Madame Blavatskys terminology with his own, andperforming spiritual research with results different from those


5/11

achieved by Besant and others. Eventually there was a formal split with Theosophy in 1912.

From his decision to "go public" in 1899 until his death in 1925, Steiner articulated an ongoing streamof experiences of the spiritual world, experiences he said had touched him from an early age on.Steiner aimed to apply his training in mathematics, science, and philosophy to produce rigorous,verifiable presentations of those experiences.

Steiner believed that through freely chosen ethical disciplines and meditative training, anyone coulddevelop the ability to experience the spiritual world, including the higher nature of oneself andothers. Steiner believed that such discipline and training would help a person to become a moremoral, creative and free individual, free in the sense of being capable of actions motivated solely bylove.

Founding the Anthroposophical SocietySteiner founded his independent Esoteric School of the Theosophical Society in 1904. This schoolcontinued after the break with Theosophy and eventually led into the School of Spiritual Science of

the Anthroposophical Society.

The Anthroposophical Society grew rapidly. Fuelled by a need to find a home for their yearlyconferences, which included performances of plays written by Eduard Schur as well as Steinerhimself, the decision was made to build a theatre and organizational centre. In 1913, constructionbegan on the first Geotheanumbuilding, in Dornach, Switzerland. The building, designed by Steiner,was built to significant part by volunteers who offered craftsmanship or simply a will to learn newskills. Once World War I started in 1914, the Goetheanum volunteers could hear the sound of cannonfire beyond the Swiss border, but despite the war, people from all over Europe worked peaceably sideby side on the building's construction. In 1919, the Goetheanum staged the world premiere of a

complete production of Goethe's Faust. In this same year, the first Waldorf School was founded inStuttgart, Germany.

Beginning in 1919, Steiner was called upon toundertake numerous practical activities. Hislecture activity expanded enormously. Atthe same time, the Goetheanum developedas a wide-ranging cultural centre. On New

Year's Eve, 1922/1923, it was burned down byarsonists. Only his massive sculpture de-

picting the spiritual forces active in theworld and the human being, the Repre-sentative of Humanity, was saved. Steinerimmediately began work designing a secondGeotheanum building, made of concreteinstead of wood, which was completed in1928, three years after his death.

During the Anthroposophical Society's Christmas conference in 1923, Steiner founded the School ofSpiritual Science, intended as an open university for research and study. This university, which has

various sections or faculties, has grown steadily. It is particularly active today in the fields ofeducation, medicine, agriculture, art, natural science, literature, philosophy, sociology and economics.


6/11

Reacting to the catastrophic situation in post-war Germany, Steiner had gone on extensive lecturetours promoting his social ideas of the Threefold Social Order, entailing a fundamentally differentpolitical structure.

He suggested that only through independence of the cultural, political and economic realms couldsuch catastrophes as the World War be avoided. He also promoted a radical solution in the disputedarea of Upper Silesia, claimed by both Poland and Germany. His suggestion that this area should begranted at least provisional independence led to his being publicly accused of being a traitor toGermany.

In 1919, the political theorist of the National Socialist movement inGermany, Dietrich Eckart, attacked Steiner and suggested that he was a

Jew. In 1921, Adolf Hitler attacked Steiner in an article in a right-wingnewspaper and other nationalist extremists in Germany were calling up a"war against Steiner". The 1923 Beer Hall Putsch in Munich led Steiner togive up his residence in Berlin, saying that if those responsible for theattempted coup by Hitler and others came to power in Germany, it

would no longer be possible for him to enter the country. He alsowarned against the disastrous effects it would have for Central Europe ifthe National Socialists came to power.

The loss of the Goetheanum affected Steiner's health seriously. From 1923 on, he showed signs ofincreasing frailness and illness. He continued to lecture widely, and even to travel. He was oftengiving two, three or even four lectures daily for courses taking place concurrently. By autumn, 1924,however, he was too weak to continue; his last lecture was held in September of that year. He died onMarch 30, 1925

The Spiritual WorldIn his earliest works, Steiner already spoke of the "natural and spiritual worlds" as a unity. From 1900on, he began lecturing about concrete details of the spiritual world(s), culminating in the publicationin 1904 of the first of several systematic presentations - Theosophy: An Introduction to the SpiritualProcesses in Human Life and in the Cosmos, followed by How to Know Higher Worlds (1905), Cosmic Memory(a collection of articles written between 1904 and 1908), andAn Outline of Esoteric Science(1910).

Important themes include:

the human being as body, soul and spirit; the path of spiritual development; spiritual influences on world-evolution and history; reincarnation and karma, which he considered to be his own central theme.

Steiner emphasized that there is an objective natural and spiritual world that can be known, and thatperceptions of the spiritual world and incorporeal beings are, underconditions of training, comparable to that required for the naturalsciences, but including extraordinary self-discipline, replicable bymultiple observers. It is on this basis that spiritual science is possible,

with radically different foundations from those of natural science.For Steiner, the cosmos is permeated and continually transformed bythe creative activity of non-physical processes and spiritual beings.


7/11

For the human being to become conscious of the objective reality of these processes and beings, it isnecessary to creatively enact and re-enact, within, their creative activity. Thus objective knowledgealways entails creative inner activity. Steiner articulated three stages of any creative deed:

Moral intuition: the ability to discover ethical principles appropriate to the circumstances athand: situational ethics

Moral imagination: the imaginative transformation of an ethical principle into a concreteintention for the future evolution of the particular situation

Moral technique: the realization of the intended transformation, depending on a mastery ofpractical skills.

Steiner had a wide breadth of activities. He founded the Waldorf education school movement, andthe biodynamic agriculture he founded has contributed significantly to the modern organic farmingmovement. Anthroposophical medicine has created a broad range of alterantive medicines. Inaddition, a wide range of supportive therapies both artistic and biographical have arisen out ofSteiner's work.

The homes for the handicapped based on his work (the Camphill movement) are widely spread. Thecompiler of this manual lives very close to one such community just outside Aberdeen in Scotland(UK).

The ArtHis paintings and drawings have been exhibited in museums andgalleries, and the list of people influenced by him includes Joseph Beuysand other significant modern artists. His two Goetheanum buildings aregenerally accepted to be masterpieces of modern architecture, and other

Anthroposophical architects have contributed thousands of buildings tothe modern scene. One of first institutions to practice ethical bankingwas an Anthroposophical Bank working out of Steiner's ideas.

Steiner's literary estate is correspondingly broad. Steiner's writings arepublished in about forty volumes, including books, essays, plays ('mysterydramas'), mantric verse and an autobiography. His collected lecturesmake up another approximately 300 volumes, and nearly every imaginable theme is coveredsomewhere here. (Much of Steiner's work is available on-line at the Rudolph Steiner Archive seelink below).

As a young man, Steiner already supported the independence of educational institutions fromgovernmental control. In 1907, he wrote a long essay, entitled Education in the Light of Spiritual Science,in which he described the major phases of child development and suggested that these would be thebasis of a healthy approach to education.

In 1919, Emil Molt invited him to lecture on the topic of education to the workers at Molt's factory inStuttgart. Out of this came a new school, the Waldorf School, and Waldorf Education, sometimesknown as Steiner Education. During Steiner's lifetime, schools based on his educational principleswere also founded in Hamburg, Essen, The Hague and London. There are now more than 900

independent Waldorf schools world-wide.

For a period after World War I, Steiner was extremely active as a lecturer on social questions. Apetition expressing his basic social ideas (signed by Herman Hesse among others) was very widely


8/11

circulated. His main book on social questions, Toward Social Renewal, sold tens of thousands of copies.Today around the world there are a number of innovative banks, companies, charitable institutionsand schools for developing new cooperative forms of business, all working partly out of Steinerssocial ideas. One example is The Rudolf Steiner Foundation, incorporated in 1984.

Steiner suggested that the cultural, political and economic spheres ofsociety needed to be sufficiently independent of one another to be able tomutually correct each other in an ongoing way. He suggested that humansociety had been moving slowly, over thousands of years, towardarticulation of society into three independent yet mutually correctiverealms, and that a Threefold Social Order was not some utopia that couldbe implemented in a day or even a century. It was a gradual process thathe expected would continue to develop for thousands of years.Nevertheless, he gave many specific suggestions for social reforms that hethought would increase the threefold articulation of society. He believedin equality of human rights for political life, liberty in cultural life, andvoluntary fraternal cooperation in economic life.

Steiner designed 17 buildings, including the First and Second Geotheanums. These two buildings, builtin Dornach, Switzerland, were intended to house a University for Spiritual Science. Three of Steiner'sbuildings, including both Goetheanum buildings, have been listed amongst the most significant worksof modern architecture.

As a sculptor, his works include The Representative of Humanity (1922). This nine-meter high woodsculpture was a joint project with the sculptor Edith Maryon. It is on permanent display at theGoetheanum in Dornach.

As a playwright, Steiner wrote four "Mystery Dramas" between 1909 and 1913, including The Portal ofInitiationand The Soul's Awakening. They are still performed today by Anthroposophical groups

From the late 1910s, Steiner was working with doctors to create a new approach to medicine. In 1921,pharmacists and physicians gathered under Steiner's guidance to create a pharmaceutical companycalled Weleda, which now distributes natural medical products worldwide. At around the same time,Dr. Ita Wegman founded a first Anthroposophical medical clinic in Arlesheim, Switzerland (nowcalled the Wegman Clinic).

Biodynamic agricultureIn 1924, a group of farmers concerned about the future of agriculture requested Steiner's help.Steiner responded with a lecture series on agriculture. This was the origin of biodynamic agriculture,which is now practiced throughout much of Europe, North America, and Australasia. A centralconcept of these lectures was to "individualize" the farm by bringing no or few outside materials ontothe farm, but producing all needed materials such as manure and animal feed from within what hecalled the "farm organism.

The early decades of the twentieth-century sawnew methods of agriculture being proposed and

used. Steiner believed that the introduction ofchemical farming was a major problem. He wasconvinced that the quality of food in his timewas degraded, and he believed the source of the


9/11

problem were artificial fertilizers and pesticides. However he did not believe this was only because ofthe chemical or biological properties relating to the substances involved, but also due to spiritualshortcomings in the whole chemical approach to farming. Steiner considered the world andeverything in it as simultaneously spiritual and material in nature, an approach termed monism. Today,we are globally coming to see how many mistakes have been made by the overuse of chemicals andoverproduction of crops.

Steiner and ChristSteiner describes Christ's being and mission on earth as having a central place in human evolution,emphasizing that, according to his understanding:

The Being of Christ is central to all religions, though called by different names by each. Each religion is valid and true for the time and cultural context in which it was born. The historical forms of Christianity need to be transformed considerably to meet the on-going

evolution of humanity.

It is the Being of Christ that unifies allreligions and not a particular religiousfaith that Steiner saw as the central forcein human evolution. He understood Christ'sincarnation as a historical reality and apivotal point in human history. The "ChristBeing" is for Steiner, however, not only theRedeemer of the Fall from Paradise, but alsothe unique pivot and meaning of earth's"evolutionary" processes and of all human

history, manifesting in all religions andcultures. The essence of being Christian is,for Steiner, a search for balance betweenpolarizing extremes.

Steiner's views of Christianity diverge fromconventional Christian thought in key places,and include some Gnostic elements.

Steiner also posited two different Jesus children involved in the Incarnation of the Christ: one child

descended from Solomon, as described in the Gospel of Matthew and the other child from Nathan, asdescribed in the Gospel of Luke. (The genealogies given in the two gospels diverge some thirtygenerations before Jesus' birth.)

Steiner's view of the Second Coming of Christ is also unusual. He suggested that this would not be aphysical reappearance, but that the Christ Being would become manifest in non-physical form, in theetheric realm, i.e. visible to spiritual vision and apparent in community life for increasing numbers ofpeople, beginning around the year 1933. He emphasized that the future would require humanity torecognize this Spirit of Love in all its genuine forms, regardless of how this is named.

In the 1920s, Steiner was approached by Friedrich Rittelmeyer, a Lutheran pastor with a congregationin Berlin. Rittelmeyer asked if it was possible to create a more modern form of Christianity. Soonothers joined Rittelmeyer mostly Protestant pastors, but including several Roman Catholic priests.Steiner offered counsel on renewing the sacraments of their various services, combining Catholicism's


10/11

emphasis on the rites of a sacred tradition with the emphasis on freedom of thought and a personalrelationship to religious life characteristic of modern, Johannine Christianity.

Steiner made it clear, however, that the resulting movement for the renewal of Christianity, whichbecame known as The Christian Communitywas a personal gesture of help to a movement independentof the Anthroposophical Society. The distinction was important to Steiner because he sought withAnthroposophy to create a scientific, not faith-based, spirituality. For those who wished to find moretraditional forms, however, a renewal of the traditional religions was also a vital need of the times.

The style and content of Steiner's works can vary greatly. The total of his published works is massive.Many works are available in web versions through the Rudolf Steiner Archive. The full list Germantexts of all of Steiner's published works is searchable at the Rudolph Steiner Archive. A list of allEnglish translations of works by Steiner is also available at this site.
