of the Anthroposophical Society in America

anthroposophy belong? During one of the closing sessions of the conference, twelve people were seated on the stage, each one tasked with reporting on the themed discussions in which they participated each morning of the conference. The very last to speak took his time not to describe an experience, but to invite each of us gathered in the Great Hall at that moment to contemplate the being of Michael, quietly, and for just one minute. With

the potency of that moment still resonant in me, I find the beginning of an answer to my question: The fruits of our striving in anthroposophy belong to the spiritual world, which has the sublime capacity to direct these fruits where they are most needed. This means that we may not always know, see, or enjoy the fruits of our labor, but when something is undertaken by a human being in freedom, with love, then good will always become.
