If there is something more powerful than destiny, this must be the human being who bears destiny unshaken.
Rudolf SteinerThe worlds represent increasing phases of densification, the involuting descent of spirit into matter, where the way becomes harder and longer.
Rudolf SteinerWhen man faces man the one attempts to put the other to sleep and the other continuously wants to maintain his uprightness. But this is, to speak in the Goethean sense, the archetypal phenomenon of social science. This sleeping-into we may call the social principle, the social impulse of the new era: we have to live over into the other; we have to dissolve with our soul into the other.
