Anthroposophy - Spiritual Science
Rudolf Steiner [1861-1925] the Austrian scientist, educator, artist, philosopher and spiritual researcher developed a modern path of knowledge and named it Anthroposophy or the Wisdom of the Human Being. This is a path of knowledge leading the Spiritual in the Human Being to the Spiritual in the Universe	Anthroposophy is a SELF-AWAKENING experience of the individual to discover spiritual realities in the inner and outer aspects of life, leading to new dimensions in approaching one’s life tasks. Self-awakening for a better understanding of WHO AM I? HOW TO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND THE WORLD? HOW TO CARE FOR THE OTHERS? WHAT CAN I DO, WHAT IS MY TASK IN THE WORLD TODAY? Only with the experience of the spirit in ourselves can we know the cosmic spirit. Anthroposophy is more than self-development, through it we recognize our humanity. Humanity [Anthropos] has the inherent wisdom [Sophia] to transform both itself and the world.
THE PRACTICAL WORK IN THE WORLD in Education, Agriculture, Nutrition, Medicine, Therapies, new Arts and Sciences, Social work, Economic enterprises, Religious renewal flows from insights provided by Anthroposophy. The test of any teaching can be found only in life itself. “Only that which is fruitful is true.” [Goethe]	Rudolf Steiner was never fully satisfied with the name of Anthroposophy or Spiritual Science and felt it could be changed every day. He stressed that the meaning of Anthroposophy has to become A CONSCIOUS AWARENESS OF ONE'S HUMANITY
