12. Spiritual Science as a Life's Work

Not to boast or praise, but to communicate something that needs to be said, let it be mentioned that more and more people are now finding that they can feel the living, fruitful impulse that runs through spiritual science, even in the present. Proof of this is that we are now in a position to build a college for spiritual science in Dornach near Basel, in the canton of Solothurn. The intention is not to concentrate spiritual science in one place; that must be made clear. Rather, it is to prove that we are able to show how spiritual science can be active, can be creative, through the creation of architectural, sculptural, and painterly forms and in the harmonization of these individual effects in such a building. This building should only serve as a model for the fact that spiritual science is capable of directly influencing life. And the fact that friends of spiritual science have been found to provide the relatively large funds necessary to create this university building is already proof that spiritual science is, in part, rooted in the souls of the present day.
