It lies at the foot of the Goetheanum, storing its treasures underground\u2014the Rudolf Steiner Archive. Even the whimsical architecture of Haus Duldeck conceals the significance of this repository of anthroposophy. It ought to be a cathedral, like Chartres, visible from afar in the haze on the horizon, guiding travelers and pilgrims; a Louvre, a Fort Knox of the spirit to which we ascend\u2014like to the Temple of Apollo in Delphi\u2014to discover our personal question with reverence in our limbs. Yet it is a simple garden house in the Goetheanum Park\u2014as if there were a caf\u00e9 there and not something that, out of its source, has reached millions of people: a philosopher\u2019s stone, ciphers for a millennium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I bring this secret beacon to light for a moment. To educate means to teach breathing, to teach sleeping and waking. For me, as an educator, what the archive conveys is found on the first pages of Study of Man<\/em> (GA 293). I cannot conceal the teacher in my writing and therefore try to bring the lessons of breathing, sleeping, and waking into every text. This is how Rudolf Steiner\u2019s idea for schooling\u2014unearthed and compiled in book form by the Rudolf Steiner Archive and the publisher\u2014comes alive in me and then in you, dear reader. This is how it happens, time and time again. So, the Archive is not hidden at all but is present everywhere that anthroposophy takes place, as its source\u2014great and mighty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
