The revelation of the objective reality and a creative spiritual world which informs our physical, material one, and the explanation of the origin and destiny of the human being and all that flows from it.
Accordingly the universe is expressed in and discoverable through an understanding of the real nature of humans.
The name “Anthroposophy” can be understood in three different ways:
1. The exact scientific methodology of research into the spiritual world established by Rudolf Steiner.
2. The result of this research is "spiritual science” or “science of the spirit”. This forms the necessary continuity and complements natural science. It consists of a knowledge of the super sensible constitution of humans, of spiritual beings in nature and the cosmos, and also a deeper extension of history by a reading of the akashic record.
3. Results come from the application of Spiritual Science in practical life and put into practice in education, medicine, pharmacy, agriculture, art and science, religion, economics, as well as diverse activities as jewellery making and beekeeping.
Steiner offered his own definition of “Anthroposophy” to the Encyclopaedia Britannica: “Anthroposophy is a path of knowledge leading the Spirit in Man to the Spirit in the Universe.”
Anthroposophy is squarely based on the actual knowledge of the spiritual world that Rudolf Steiner acquired and perfected through the conscious development of those higher faculties that, according to him, slumber within every human being.
