The whites are the ones that develop humaneness

“When the Negroes emigrate to the west, they can not gather as much light and warmth as they did in africa. So they turn red as copper, become redskins. That results from being forced to reflect some of that light and warmth.

This then glows copper red. They can not resist that. This is why the redskins get extinct in the west, in turn become a race that is ceasing to exist, dying of their own nature, that is receiving too little light and warmth, dying out because of the mundane.

The whites are actually the ones that develop the humaneness inside of them.” (Rudolf Steiner)

Weak spirits have to cut their fingernails

“Man is in opposition to the outside world. The soul-mind strives to constantly absorbe him. 

This is why we are flaking off, chipping off all the time.

And when the spirit is not strong enough, we have to cut off pieces, like fingernails; because the spirit, infiltrating from the outside, desires to primingly destroy them.”(Rudolf Steiner)

We must tell children about Atlantis

“We show, that the british isles have risen and fallen four times. That is where we come back to the term of old Atlantis, in a geological way. That can be determined by the layers.

So we try to put these things into context, but we must not resile to tell children about the old land of Atlantis. We must not skip this.” (Rudolf Steiner)

The child needed its death underneath the moving van

“So the child was dead. The outer, materialistic view could say: Well, by accident the moving van tilted over at this hour, the child got underneath it and got squashed. From a spiritual view, this is utter nonsense.

Because what we have got here is the childs karma, and the childs karma guided every single circumstance. It also guided the moving van just in the hour, in which the child needed its death; because the childs karma wanted it this way.”(Rudolf Steiner)

Jews cant be sculptors

“And when the jews for example feel insulted when you say: You are no sculptors, there is nothing you can accomplish in this field – so you can say to yourself: Not all people have to be sculptors!

So it is true that the jews are not fit to be sculptors; from the ten commandments they absorbed that one: "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image”, because in figurative view they dont want to depict anything transcendental.“ (Rudolf Steiner)

Demons in human shape

“One really doesnt like to talk about these things, since we are already being treated hostile a lot. Imagine what people would say when they hear that there are humans, that are not human. But these are facts.

We wouldnt have this decadence of culture, if there was a strong sentiment for the fact that you have people walking around, that are becoming something that is not humans, but demons in human shape.

But we dont want to trumpet this. The enmity is already big enough.”(Rudolf Steiner)
