or the science of the spirit, and only then can they be actually
perceived. Even a clairvoyant must get to know what has
already been discovered, and then, after conscientious
training, he can perceive the facts himself.

"It may be said

that the divine
beings fertilize
a faculty of
seership only
once in a
human soul
and if the
single, virginal
fertilization has
been achieved,
then other
human beings
must pay
attention to
what this first
soul has
discovered in order to have the right to see it themselves.
This law lays the foundations of an inner, universal
brotherliness, a true brotherhood of men. From epoch to
epoch wisdom has passed through the occult schools and
been faithfully harbored by the Masters, and we, too, must
help to preserve this treasure and maintain brotherliness with
those who have already achieved something if we wish to
make our way into the higher regions of the spiritual world.
What is striven for on the physical plane as moral law is
natural law in the spiritual world."

-Rosicrucian Occultism, Rudolf Steiner, Budapest, 4th June 1909

That very last sentence I have found to be a rich subject of meditation.

"Human life in its depths is able to bring forth from itself not only the forces of instinct
or common intelligence but also those forces that are inwardly impelled from the
soul- and spirit-worlds. ... Perhaps I may refer to my own experience in fashioning
my Mystery Play. I can say that no thought lives in it; everything you will now hear
recited and declaimed was heard, albeit spiritually, exactly as it sounds here. It is not
a matter of grasping a thought and then putting it into words, but of beholding what
will now be presented to you - and of beholding it in the way it is presented, an
inwardly sounding and taking form. In the delineation of such a scene one has
nothing to do but write down externally what one has experienced inwardly as a
perception."

- “The Art of Recitation and Declamation”, Dornach 29 September 1920 - given by

Steiner prior to a Michaelmas performance of one of his Mystery plays
