Today, it is not the case that we had to hollow out the inside of this Dornach mountain on which we stand so that no one could see what we are doing. We did not need to do that. We do not need to hollow out the mountain and fill it with catacombs; we do not need to hide anything. we do not need to prepare the new culture underground while what is happening now is happening above ground. We do not need that. But spiritually, that is how it is. For what lives of what we want to write here in our hearts, in our souls, and what we want to express in our column forms and images, what lives of that in contemporary culture? No more than early Christianity lived in Roman culture!
