Steiner’s Vision of Human Nature

In Rudolf Steiner’s vision of human nature, we are energetic as well as physical beings, and our most profound identity rests in our spiritual elements. Each person is “the expression of a divine spiritual being that descends from purely spirit-soul existence and evolves here in physical-bodily existence between birth and death.” Each is a unique and inherently worthy being. We are necessarily neither good nor evil but have the capacity for both. We are partially divine beings who are struggling toward purer divinity.
