First Lecture

Naturally, one can only think with a deeply moved heart of how the inauguration and initiation of your movement with the sacred human consecration service took place here two years ago, at the place where we first had to watch the flames that destroyed our beloved Goetheanum. You can see that today, this place is the most utterly decimated. But it has actually been started through your beautiful devotion to transform what happened in that room that was first consumed by the flames into a truly sacred deed in the earth. And if you continue with the holy zeal that first seized you, the impulses within your priesthood will develop in the right way.
