Anthroposophy?

Answer 1

Seems to have the underlying belief that we all are God? That we don't need a Saviour? I don't know much about it. I use the Bible for a guide - God has never failed me. When a religion contradicts it I don't keep studying about that religion. If we don't have something to base our beliefs on we can come up with amazing amounts of nonsense. I've heard this stated as "If you don't stand for something you'll fall for anything."

Answer 2

Anthroposophy, is also called "spiritual science", is a spiritual/religious philosophy based on the teachings of Rudolf Steiner, which states that anyone who "conscientiously cultivates sense-free thinking" can attain experience of and insights into the spiritual world.

Anthroposophical research seeks to attain in its investigations of the spiritual world the precision and clarity of natural science's investigations of the physical world, thus applying the methodology of modern science to the realm of spiritual experience.

The word anthroposophy is derived from the Greek roots anthropo meaning human, and sophia meaning wisdom.

Concerns have been raised that latent Racism in anthroposophy exists today due to the unreserved adherence to the teachings of Rudolf Steiner by some followers of anthroposophy:

"Given the origin of Waldorf in early-20th-century Germany and its present in a class-biased and color-racist America, Waldorf educators need to work incessantly to clean their approach of unsuspected biases. For instance, with regard to race, a naive version of the evolution of consciousness, a theory foundational to both Steiner's anthroposophy and Waldorf education, sometimes places one race below another in one or another dimension of development."

The Anthroposophical Society in America refutes this claim:

We explicitly reject any racial theory that may be construed to be part of Rudolf Steiner's writings. The Anthroposophical Society in America is an open, public society and it rejects any purported spiritual or scientific theory on the basis of which the alleged superiority of one race is justified at the expense of another race.
