Anthroposophy is a way of thinking
rather than a dogma. It is a path of knowledge
to guide the spiritual in the human being
to the spiritual in the universe.

Anthroposophical Society

The insight into the Cosmos brought by Rudolf Steiner he called "Anthroposophy",
-the wisdom or consciousness of one's full humanity. Rudolf Steiner perceived
that the individual has the possibility of reaching higher levels of consciousness
through meditation, observation and an openness to one's daily experiences.
Achieving this spiritual awareness is a lifelong quest, a gradual awakening of an
inner faculty which becomes a way of life that is moral, fulfilling and
essentially Christian.

 Having spent his life evolving Anthroposophy within philosophy, the arts and many
practical applications, Rudolf Steiner later founded the General Anthroposophical Society.

 Based on the respect for the freedom and integrity of each individual, the Anthroposophical Society
is open, public and universal. Its aim is to further human life and development on the basis of
spiritual understanding.

 The Anthroposophical Society in Canada is a part of the General Anthroposophical Society;
a worldwide association of people united in this same ideal.

 At the central core, responsible for the integrity and continuous deepening of the
Anthroposophical Movement, is the School of Spiritual Science, also initiated by Rudolf Steiner.

 The Society recognizes and thus makes possible the existence of this Centre for spiritual research
and development.



 

Membership

The Society can be found wherever human beings are inspired by Anthroposophy,
- wherever members' groups meet to undertake study, practical tasks,
lectures, research or other activities.

 One who feels himself in harmony with these intentions can ask for a membership form,-
it is a personal initiative.

 Through offices of the Society, literature, books and other information is available..

 Dues and contributions support the economic needs of the Society. Annual dues are applied
to the local, Canadian and world-wide association.



 

The Human Soul in Our Time.

We are living in a period where forms of the past are falling away.
We find ourselves searching for a new quality to our lives; new values;
and seeking others with similar concerns. When we become conscious of true ideals,
we begin to struggle with the question of how they can be actually realized in the world.

 Rudolf Steiner foresaw the dramatic increase of this human soul condition during this century.
He recognized that a yearning for an experience of consciousness of the human essence
would intensify, and with it, the need for an understanding of the real nature
of the human being in context of our modern times and in the course of evolution.



Philosopher, scientist and educator (1861-1925), whose life and work
were dedicated to the Science of the awakening Human Spirit.

"Steiner's gift to the world was a moral and meditative way to
objective vision, a way appropriate to the psychological and physiological
constitution of Western man. If accepted in the spirit of humility,
altruism and truthfulness in which it was given, it could bridge the existing
cleft between man's religious convictions and his intellect and will.
It could add comprehension to our existing knowledge and thus
revive the vision without which our generation will hardly find the solution to its problems"
