Anthroposophia and Rudolf Steiner
The Cosmic Christ and the Cosmic Sophia represent the beginnings of the creation of our cosmos. The Heavenly Sophia, through time represented the Divine Feminine, Divine Wisdom in many cultures: as Ianna in Sumeria, Isis in Egypt, Kali in India, as Shekinah for the Kabbalists, and as Sophia for the Greeks. She is also known as she from whom the Archangel Michael has evolved into the world. Just as the Sun Christ would have his evolution as Christ to Christ-man through Jesus, the Sun Sophia would evolve through her association with the human soul to be Anthroposophia. Through Rudolf Steiner she is named Anthroposophia, a living supersensible being whom guided Rudolf Steiner in his free deed to bring anthroposophy to the earth. For Steiner, Anthroposophia is the being to whom he turned when writing his Philosophy of Freedom and founding out of his own free deed the General Anthroposophical Society at the 1923/24 Christmas Conference. Anthroposophia now stands behind Spiritual Science as the being who awaits those who would seek her in love and freedom as their guide. She emerges from within the consciousness soul to be honored as the wisdom of humanity. Christ and Anthroposophia – Love and Wisdom.

ANTHROPOSOPHIA IN THE WORLD
The challenge of our time is to manifest ever greater humanity in our thoughts and deeds. The head-centered knowledge of today has not been able to achieve this. What is needed is a wisdom of the heart. Only the heart is capable of uniting polarities and harmonizing discord. When the head is informed by the wisdom of the heart we will act on behalf of all humanity. This wisdom of the heart – the wisdom (Sophia) of humankind (anthropos) – is embodied in Anthroposophy. It is a spiritual force bearing the wisdom both appropriate and necessary for our time. It is a seed for the future. Anthroposophia, the emissary of this wisdom as revealed to the world by Rudolf Steiner, is indeed ‘the image of our true humanity’.

My admiration and respect for Rudolf Steiner and what he had invested as Anthroposophy is what inspired me to write this short biography for the PoF Anthroposophia page.
