Anthroposophy and Ecofascism 34

Continuing my commentary on the 10th paragraph of Peter Staudenmaier's Anthroposophy and Ecofascism. Or the very first sentence of his book Knowledge of the Higher Worlds (a 1904 reprint of a series of magazine articles from 1902-1903)

"There slumber in every human being faculties by means of which he can acquire for himself a knowledge of higher worlds."

Steiner repeatedly states that his Anthroposophy is accessible to anyone.

"Anyone can set out on the esoteric path; it is closed to no one. The mysteries are present in the breast of each human being. All that is required a serious inner work in the possibility to free ourselves of all the obstacles the block this subtle inner life. We must realize that the world's greatest and most distant aspects are revealed to us in the most intimate ways. Humanity's wisest members have no other means of attaining great truths in the path described here. They achieve these truths because they discovered the path with themselves, because they knew that they have to practice patients in steadfastness in carrying out these routines."
