And so we have, I would say, in the Anthroposophical Society a further working of Aristotelianism, only now spiritualized and awaiting its further spiritualization... That which today can shine as if only through tiny windows must, in the future, become a unity through the coming together of the leaders of the School of Chartres and the leading spirits of Scholasticism, when at the end of the twentieth century that spiritual renewing will come to pass whereby intellectualism is lifted to the spirit.

Rudolf Steiner,
Lecture of 18 July 1924, GA 240

We must go forward to a time when we find, first of all, Christ as an Etheric Being, and in His train, more and more etheric realities. These etheric realities will then have the strength still to make true individuals out of us... Let people call us fantastic dreamers, or whatever it may bewe know how mankind and the world evolve. And He Who for the sake of this evolution fulfilled the Mystery of Golgotha, He is seeing, too, what is born in our souls as the expression of world-evolution. Christ is seeing usby this we shall be sustained.

Rudolf Steiner,
Lecture of 7 November 1915, GA 254
