Just as in the body, eye and ear develop as organs of perception, as senses for bodily processes, so does a man develop in himself soul and spiritual organs of perception through which the soul and spiritual worlds are opened to him. For those who do not have such higher senses, these worlds are dark and silent, just as the bodily world is dark and silent for a being without eyes and ears.
Rudolf SteinerWe have to live over into the other; we have to dissolve with our soul into the other.
Rudolf SteinerReceive the children in reverence, educate them in love, and send them forth in freedom.
Rudolf SteinerWherever love and compassion are active in life, we can perceive the magic breath of the spirit blowing through the sense world.
Rudolf SteinerWe have seen that blood united to blood in the case of but remotely connected species of animals, kills; blood united to blood in the case of more closely allied species of animals does not kill. The physical organism of man survives when strange blood comes in contact with strange blood, ... but clairvoyant power perishes under the influence of this mixing of blood, or exogamy.
