13. Announcement

Before the evening lecture on “Physiological Therapy on the Basis of Spiritual Science” at the first anthroposophical college

Rudolf Steiner: Dearly beloved! It has been suggested that I should give another lecture of some kind on the threefold social order. And since we have so many events, there is no other way than for me to attempt to give this requested lecture on the threefold social order tomorrow evening. But since this wish, which has been expressed many times, has arisen from the dissatisfaction that remains from the various discussions that have taken place so far about this threefold order, I would like to ask you to formulate your wishes and questions in this regard, so that precisely what is felt to be unclear can be taken into account and discussed. This will enable me to organize tomorrow evening's lecture in such a way that it covers the points that various people wish to know about. Therefore, those honored attendees who would like to hear something in one direction or another about the threefold social order, namely about economic life in it, are asked to write their questions or requests on a piece of paper and hand them in tomorrow morning between 9 and 10 a.m. at the entrance to the west portal of the Goetheanum. Someone will be there to take these questions. So, I would ask those who have something to ask and who have a wish to include it in these questions.
