Anthroposophy is not easily available. It must be realized, individual by individual. Rudolf Steiner did not devote all his energy to providing ready-made and readily accessible content, but rather to creating spaces for what is not so available—spaces of resonance in which an inner word can be heard. The Goetheanum was conceived as an architectural space of resonance. A School of Spiritual Science was founded as a social space of resonance. Verses for meditation were crafted as an inner space of resonance. These are spaces that are available for the unavailable.
“O man, know thyself!” echoes throughout these spaces. “Know thyself”—as if two mirrors face each other and the reflections repeat infinitely, opening a dizzying depth. Anthroposophy is not immediately available because it is the individual path of research into this depth. But spaces are available for this infinite depth, in which—resonating in human beings—anthroposophy is renewed again and again.
