The earth itself, says Dr. Steiner, was also united with the Christ in the Mystery of Golgotha. It experiences pleasure and pain through the plants and in the crystallization process.

As a young man, he lived in Weimar and Berlin, where he became a well-published scientific, literary, and philosophical scholar, known especially for his work with Goethe\u2019s scientific writings. At the beginning of the twentieth century, he began to develop his early philosophical principles into an approach to systematic research into psychological and spiritual phenomena. Formally beginning his spiritual teaching career under the auspices of the Theosophical Society, Steiner came to use the term Anthroposophy (and spiritual science) for his philosophy, spiritual research, and findings. The influence of Steiner\u2019s multifaceted genius has led to innovative and holistic approaches in medicine, various therapies, philosophy, religious renewal, Waldorf education, education for special needs, threefold economics, biodynamic agriculture, Goethean science, architecture, and the arts of drama, speech, and eurythmy. In 1924, Rudolf Steiner founded the General Anthroposophical Society, which today has branches throughout the world. He died in Dornach, Switzerland.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Christmas:\u00a0A Contemplation Out of the Wisdom of Life Berlin, December 13, 1907 (GA 101) Transforming human feelings through spiritual perception is the work we do when we contemplate ourselves unified with the Christ.
