Eastern spirituality had to be renewed by the Christ impulse

Ex Deo Nascimur       In Christo Morimur       Per Spiritum Sanctum Reviviscimus


Rudolf Steiner: "There is no wisdom of the East that has not streamed into Western occultism. In the teachings and investigations of the Rosicrucians, indeed, you will find everything that has been preserved by the great sages of the East. Nothing, absolutely nothing, known through Eastern wisdom is missing in the wisdom of the West. There is only this difference: the wisdom of the West had to illumine this whole body of Eastern teaching, the entirety of Easern wisdom, Eastern research, with the light kindled in humanity by the Christ impulse, but without losing any of it. It should not be said that a single iota of Eastern occultism is missing from Western occultism, which is derived from the hidden Rishis of the West who are invisible to human eyes. Nothing is missing. It is simply that everything had to be renewed out of the rejuvenating fountain of the Christ impulse."
