“To argue: `i could err` is annoying disbelief. It shows that man has no trust in the power of the truth.” (Rudolf Steiner)

Brain matter is bowel matter
“What is brain matter? Brain matter is simply abandonded bowel matter. The brains premature segerations pass through the guts. The content of the bowel is indeed related to the brains content.
If i were to talk bizarrely, i would say, an advanced dungheap is what is spreading in the brain; but its quite correct.” (Rudolf Steiner)

We must tell children about Atlantis
“We show, that the british isles have risen and fallen four times. That is where we come back to the term of old Atlantis, in a geological way. That can be determined by the layers.
So we try to put these things into context, but we must not resile to tell children about the old land of Atlantis. We must not skip this.” (Rudolf Steiner)

The child needed its death underneath the moving van
“So the child was dead. The outer, materialistic view could say: Well, by accident the moving van tilted over at this hour, the child got underneath it and got squashed. From a spiritual view, this is utter nonsense.
Because what we have got here is the childs karma, and the childs karma guided every single circumstance. It also guided the moving van just in the hour, in which the child needed its death; because the childs karma wanted it this way.”(Rudolf Steiner)

Spiralnebel oder Mückenschwarm?
“Aber wer dadurch, daß er mit einem Fernrohr da hinausschaut und diese Spiralnebel sieht, sagt: Nun ja, solch ein Spiralnebel war auch einmal unser ganzes Sonnensystem -, der ist ungefähr so gescheit, wie wenn einer in der Ferne einen Mückenschwarm sieht und ihn für eine Staubwolke hält.” (Rudolf Steiner)

Jews cant be sculptors
“And when the jews for example feel insulted when you say: You are no sculptors, there is nothing you can accomplish in this field – so you can say to yourself: Not all people have to be sculptors!
So it is true that the jews are not fit to be sculptors; from the ten commandments they absorbed that one: "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image”, because in figurative view they dont want to depict anything transcendental.“ (Rudolf Steiner)

Demons in human shape
“One really doesnt like to talk about these things, since we are already being treated hostile a lot. Imagine what people would say when they hear that there are humans, that are not human. But these are facts.
We wouldnt have this decadence of culture, if there was a strong sentiment for the fact that you have people walking around, that are becoming something that is not humans, but demons in human shape.
But we dont want to trumpet this. The enmity is already big enough.”(Rudolf Steiner)

Was mit der Leber zusammenhängt, hängt mit der Sonne zusammen
“Lebererkrankungen kommen aus Baucherkältungen. Da sagen dann die Ärzte, die Leberkrankheiten kommen vom Herzen. Aber in Wahrheit kommen sie von dem, daß der Bauch sich erkältete.
Alles das aber hat zu tun mit der Sonne. Daher ist es auch immer sehr gut, wenn einer gerade an Baucherkältungen leidet, daß man ihm seinen Unterleib dem Lichte aussetzt. Da ist zum Beispiel die Sonnenkur außerordentlich gut. Alles das, was mit der Leber zusammenhängt, hängt auch mit der Sonne zusammen. Sonnentätigkeit fördert Lebertätigkeit.” (Rudolf Steiner)
