The Great Initiates I

Tri Rudolf Steiner acted in connection with the Theosophical Society (1902-03), not so much because he shared its convictions, but because he found in its members the possibility to find understanding and interest for the spiritual truths which he had to make known, wrote Albert Schweitzer (1875 – 1965).
According to Schweitzer of course Steiner knew nothing of the young Strasbourg University instructor, Schweitzer self, who was occupied with Kant’s philosophy and the problems of research into the life of Jesus.

He was fourteen years older than I.

One time Schweitzer asked something by hided under the surface, about Steiner; what was the highest intention what we can transfer for mankind?

That people learn to think for themselves, their own brains.

This is the case,
all the enlightened speak with one voice.
From the beginning, he (Siner) was the talker and I the listener and questioner during our conversations, said Schweitzer.

But I know that he elevated many people through those flights and made new human beings of them. His disciples have made excellent contributions in many fields. I have followed Rudolf Steiner’s life and activities with heartfelt participation. Notable were his successes until World War I, the problems and hardships that accompanied them, his courageous efforts in the postwar confusion to create order through teaching about the Threefold Social Organism.

True, but the best lectures he was done hold on during the World war broke Europe (including 1917).

He expected culture from ethical thinking and the knowledge of spiritual science. According to my nature, I had to stay with letting it arise through concentration on the essence of the ethical. In this way I came to the ethics of Reverence for Life and hoped for the emergence of culture from it. But we had both experienced the same responsibility to lead men to true culture again.

As the Arhurt was actually one of the apostles, of reincarnation. It can be said now.
In 1922, after the First World War, Albert Schweitzer visited Rudolf Steiner in Dornach: He spoke with Steiner about the necessity, after World War I, for a new penetration of cultural life with religious impulses and Schweitzer said that he recognized him to be a great man, who with comprehensive knowledge and astounding wisdom transforms all the information and opinions we hear or read daily without always understanding their deeper meanings.
