Rudolf Steiner, Public Lectures
From AnthroWiki
With the dawn of the 20th century, Rudolf Steiner began "to share publicly what anthroposophy contains as knowledge of the spiritual world". Recognising the signs of the times, he broke with the old tradition according to which esoteric knowledge could only be passed on in special places to a few personalities who had been prepared for it, and held many hundreds of public lectures in Germany and other European countries until the end of his life.
„I saw myself confronted with the conditions of the spiritual life of the present. In the face of these, secrecy, as it was a matter of course in older times, is an impossibility. We live in the time that wants publicity where any knowledge appears.“ (Lit.:GA 28, p. 389)
