			== Criticism of the current practice of class lessons ==

			{{LZ\|The continuation of the "Hochschule" with the holding of the so-called class lessons in an unchanged form even after the death of Rudolf Steiner, who himself deliberately did not name a successor for the esoteric school, was pointed out in 1995 by ''Pietro'' Archiati in all clarity as a "phenomenon of succession", of succession, within the Anthroposophical Society. For admission to the "Michael School", which continued after 1925, a detailed application for admission still had to be made. One thus underwent a moral evaluation - now by the responsible lector - with the possibility of rejection, which happened repeatedly. To this day, many members of the Anthroposophical Society can see no spiritual injustice in this succession claimed by Dornach.

			From my own experience of many years of membership and 21 years of work as a lecturer commissioned by Dornach, I can confirm how devastating for an occult movement this amalgamation of esotericism and power - which is based on a statement that is not true and gives spiritual power to an institution - is. (...). It is high time that the demarcation of esotericism brought about by Dornach was overcome. The mantras do not develop their power through an institution, but through the inner attitude and the seriousness with which the individual deals with this spiritual good.\|Heinz Eckhoff, Preface, p. 3 - 4}}

			== Task and structure of the School of Spiritual Science ==

			The School of Spiritual Science has its headquarters at the [[Goetheanum]] in [[Dornach]], but works in the worldwide context of its members. Its aim is to continue spiritual research in the spirit of Rudolf Steiner's anthroposophy and to give stimulating impulses for the most diverse anthroposophical fields of work, for which it also offers an extensive further training programme. The basis of the work are the so-called class lessons which Rudolf Steiner himself held for the first members as part of the First Class. Participation in the class lessons requires a corresponding familiarity with the fundamentals of anthroposophy and meditative practice.

			The School of Spiritual Science, like the former [[Esoteric School]], should be run in three classes:

			{{GZ\|«5. The Anthroposophical Society sees a centre of its activity in the School of Spiritual Science in Dornach. This will exist in three classes.»

			Please, do not be frightened by these three classes, my dear friends. The three classes were originally already there in the Anthroposophical Society, only in a different form, until the year 1914.

			«Members of the Society are admitted to the Anthroposophical Society on their application after they have been members for a period to be determined by the leadership of the Goetheanum. They are thereby admitted to the first class of the School of Spiritual Science. Admission to the second or third class takes place when those applying for the same are found suitable by the leadership of the Goetheanum.»\|260\|50f}}

			The [[spiritual world]], which in Anthroposophy is first described in idea form, is to be represented by higher forms of expression borrowed directly from the spiritual world itself:

			{{GZ\|It will therefore generally have to be the case that man first comes to know the spiritual world in idea-form. This is the way spiritual science is cultivated in the General Anthroposophical Society.

			But there will be personalities who wish to participate in the representations of the spiritual world, who ascend from the idea-form to modes of expression which are borrowed from the spiritual world itself. And there will also be those who want to learn the ways into the spiritual world in order to walk them with their own soul. The three classes of the "school" will be there for such personalities. There the work will progressively reach a higher and higher degree of esotericism. The "School" will lead the participant up into the regions of the spiritual world which cannot be revealed through the idea-form. With them comes the necessity to find means of expression for imaginations, inspirations and intuitions.

			Then the fields of artistic, pedagogical, ethical life and so on will be led up to the areas where they can receive their illumination and the impulses to create from esotericism.\|260a\|108f}}

			As a result of his illness in the autumn of 1924 and his death on 30 March 1925, Steiner was only able to begin setting up the first class and the sections of the Hochschule. Of the total of 38 class lessons that Steiner was able to hold until his illness, 29 lessons have been preserved in stenographic transcripts and have since been published as part of the Rudolf Steiner Gesamtausgabe {{GZ\|\|270}}.

			In the first lesson Steiner gave in Dornach on 15 February 1924, he said:

			{{GZ\|... within this school every word that is spoken is spoken in such a way that it is based on full responsibility towards the spirit that reveals itself in our age, that spirit which reveals itself to humanity through the centuries and millennia, but in each age in a special way. And this spirit wants to give to man that which man can only find through the spirit.

			We must be clear from the outset that it is not hostility towards all that comes to man through the senses when a school of spiritual science looks to the revelations of the spirit. We must also be clear about how we recognise - recognise in all depth - recognise that the world of the senses gives man its great revelations, necessary practical hints, so necessary for life, must not feel induced by anything to somehow disregard that which comes to man from the world of the senses.\|270a\|1f}}
