The Imagination of Pentecost: Rudolf Steiner & Contemporary Spirituality
Richard Leviton
"Richard Leviton draws together in a comprehensive and insightful manner the diverse threads of the New Age movement and the teachings of Steiner....this book is a feast for the spiritual imagination." David Spangler, author of 'Emergence: The Rebirth of the Sacred'

1 "Wisdom must become our ideal because everything we do, our thoughts, even our moods, influences the cosmos."

2 "The Logos connects everything in the interdependent web of being."

3 "Self-knowledge is knowledge of the world and world knowledge is knowledge of the self."

4 "Sophia (Holy Wisdom) lies hidden in every atom and every stone, every tree and every flower. Her magic wand of revelation lies concealed within each of us." Rudolf Steiner

5 "The Logos speaks to the human in an individual form, through an inner Word which comprises the human's essential being."

6 "We think we have an individual being in front of us, but this individual is a picture, on a certain spot, of the whole world."

7 "There are hidden powers in man, which are capable of making a God of him on Earth." H. P. Blavatsky, 'Collected Works'

8 "Divine Wisdom lies at the foundation of everything."

9 "At the moment in which man realizes that he is embedded within the total organism of the earth…at that moment there exists an objective basis for morality." Rudolf Steiner

10 "Human, cosmos, and supersensible worlds are all interdependently linked and have unfolded together. In other words, the creation, elaboration, and progression of the solar system, humanity, and the hierarchies were synchronous events. In a sense, each is a different face in a different context of the same thing: the Logos."

11 "The world, the universe, is the spoken Word of the Logos."

12 "The human is a living miniaturization of the cosmos."

13 "The divine-spiritual lives in each human individuality."

14 "The Christ incarnation had a momentous purpose, a divine teleology that encompasses the entire life of the cosmos."

15 "'And the Tree of Life shall blossom with a fruit never before known in the creation, and that fruit shall be the New Spirit of Man,' runs the Zapotec prophecy."

16 "Spiritual knowledge, if it's genuine, if it's transmitted correctly, will quicken a human's nature. Spiritual information should help humans find their bearings in life; it would kindle within a deeper love, more understanding. The results are actual life and not dead theory; they come alive in a person and lead one to the whole Anthropos, the complete human."

17 "We must willingly cooperate with the intentions of evolution and spiritual destiny. Our moral failure to develop spiritual cognition would render this future barren."

18 "We will wake ourselves up inwardly through our own willed activity, and through this life redeem thinking."

19 "Christ Jesus is the representative, the embodiment of the power which imparts to mankind the full consciousness of the 'I am'." Rudolf Steiner, 'The Gospel of Matthew'

20 "The human being is the Logos made flesh, the Word incarnate. A revelation looms implicit in this syllogism."

21 "Humanity is ripening towards a time of unilateral cooperation."

22 "The Christ is forevermore united with Earth and human evolution."

23 "The cosmos becomes aware of itself through an awakening humanity, recognizing its spiritual elements…Our cognition of the cosmic constituency of the human being is itself an act of cosmic self-awareness, in which the inherent self-reflexivity of the Logos becomes activated."

24 "Our real identity and cognitive range includes the entire cosmos and all its beings, and we must strive to be a fully conscious, independent investigator, co-creator, and cosmic colleague."

25 "Self-knowledge opens one up to the essential being of the world."
