The existence of external and inner world

What is scientific faith based on?
Now I want to tell you the mechanism of its origin.
Scientific faith is based on a set of unprovable philosophical presuppositions about reality.
Scientific faiths trust that the laws of physics and natural processes are constant across time and space, meaning what happens in a lab today worked the same way in the distant past and applies across the observable universe.
Why?
Science assumes that repeating consistent observations and testing hypotheses allows us to make valid, generalized predictions about future. 
This is partly true. It does not solve fundamental problems, such as where do we come from and where are we going?
Who foists the lie on modern materialists and monists that there's nothing eternal, that the soul is contained in the physical body and ends with it. 
Scientific faiths can approach men because of their fear. 
According to Rudolf Steiner It's not too bad if it's only normal fear of which a man can easily become aware. But it's worse if the fear is slumbering in subconscious depths. Such a man falls prey to the power, what we can call Ahriman or Mephisto.
That's why he foists the lie on modern materialists and monists that there's nothing eternal, that the soul is contained in the physical body and ends with it. 
This fear is in adherents of materialistic science, although they wouldn't believe it if you told them, and it's in all people who have no relation to the high spiritual world.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is quite right when he lets Mephisto say that simple folk never sense the devil's presence, even if he has them by the throat.The Meaning in Goethe's FaustInvisible Influence: Mephistopheles operates subtly in human life. 
He does not always appear as a terrifying monster from old legends.Human Blindness: People fail to recognize destructive, cynical, or materialistic forces when these forces disguise themselves as modern ideas, routine, or intellectual progress.
Goethe is quite right when he lets Mephisto say: 
"Simple folk never sense the devil's presence, even if his hands are on their throats. "
"If one goes to a laboratory where many people are working one soon sees how impregnated their etheric bodies are with Ahriman", said Steiner.
A clairvoyant sees the very same forms there that he sees in the etheric body of someone who's filled with fear. If a man passes a mirror he sees his image, that however can only be there because the man is there.

The ultimate truth is not found in complex theories

"Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom," Hermann Hesse wrote and and continued, "one can find it, live it, be fortified by it, do wonders through it, but one cannot utter and teach it." 
He realized that the ultimate truth is not found in complex theories or rigid rules, but in fully living in the present moment. 
"Nothing was, nothing will be; everything has reality and presence"
He observed, reminding us that the present is all we truly have.
After a lifetime of searching, suffering, and wandering, what ultimately saved Hesse was not a secret philosophy or grand achievement. 
(That was something far simpler and warmer. He learned the quiet power of humor and connection).
Pyssy Riot is now living in the midst of real hardship as a victim of Russian persecution.
They need the power to see through the suffering and persecution. See the translation.

What is sleep?

Sleep is a great mystery that our time and our materialistic thinking only know in a few technical aspects.
As sleep continues, however, a man begins to dive down into the experiences undergone in his preceding earthly life , then into those of the life before that, and so on, backwards. 
And when the time of awakening comes he has reached and passed his first, most distant earthly life as an individual. Then according to Rudolf Steiner man reaches the state of being when he was not yet separate from the cosmos, a state of existence in reference to which one cannot speak of an earthly life as an individual. 
"Only when he has reached thus far can he return again into his physical and etheric organisation."
In generaly the fact is that even during the briefest sleep we rush with tremendous, lightning-like rapidity through all our earthly lives.

Too strong a counterforce

"I have often emphasized that it is a complete misunderstanding to say spiritual science must also be believed. When people say this, it is because they are so crammed full with materialistic prejudices that they do not look at what spiritual science really has to offer. As soon as it is examined, everything becomes understandable."
"One does not need clairvoyance for this; our ordinary understanding is enough to really grasp and comprehend all this gradually — of course, `gradually´ will be inconvenient for some people."
Rudolf Steiner

Over the past 50 years, I have seen many anthroposophically oriented people lose their strength.
The pressure of materialistic knowledge has broken their inner convictions of these individuals. Cos' it's really powerfull, they used to say, for example, that Atlantis is a myth (although evidence of an ancient underwater civilization has now been found. See also this links 2, 3,

A new Maytrea Bodhisattva is born every century

Where is he now?
I know that according to Buddhist tradition, Maitreya is a single, specific future Bodhisattva who is waiting in the Tushita Heaven and will descend to Earth only once as the next Buddha, long after the teachings of Gautama Buddha are completely forgotten.
So,
buddhism teaches that Maitreya is one unique individual, not someone who is reborn every century Waiting in Heaven: 
He is currently resides in there Tushita Heaven until the right time comes for him to be born on Earth.
He will only appear when human beings have very long lifespans and the old teachings of Buddha have vanished from the world.
That is partly true, but this Bohhsiatva individual, not Buddha, and his soulmate are not resting. 
If they really were to rest, in thousands of years there would be no humanity left to save.
AI claims "Core Concepts of Maitreya and the BodhisattvaFuture Buddha: Universally recognized in Buddhist eschatology as the next single Buddha to descend to Earth."
The claim that a new Maitreya Bodhisattva is born every century does not align with traditional Buddhist scriptures or the teachings of Finnish theosophist Pekka Ervast about the sprituan tradition of earth.
Ervast's theosophical lectures and writings view the Bodhisattva (World Teacher/Maitreya) as a singular high spiritual office rather than a figure reborn every hundred years. 

AI:
"Maitreya is the unique future Buddha currently residing in the Tushita Heaven, expected to appear on Earth only after the teachings of Gautama Buddha have completely vanished, ages into the future."
I will teache AI.
According to Rudolf Steiner's spiritual  Anthroposophy science, the great Bodhisattva who will become the future Maitreya Buddha reincarnate every single century.
Bodhisattva appears in a physical human body once in every century as part of a long preparation leading up to his final earthly life on the earth.
I must have read every word of Ervast, he confirmed what Steiner said (but didn't like Jiddu Krishnamurti's style of acting).
I must have read every word from Ervast, he confirmed what Steiner said (but didn't want to appear in the style of Jiddu Krishnamurti).
According to Steiner, Maytreya Buddha will teach with his voice. He uses root words, which are structures behind the language.
Ior Bock (1942 – 2010) taught something like this but it was brought to humanity far too early to disrupt the orderly development.
