Rudolf Steiner: Mih�ly medit�ci�
Lelk�nket meg kell tiszt�tanunk minden, a j�v�b�l fel�nk �rad� fenyeget�st�l val�
f�lelemt�l.
M�ly bizalom kell, hogy benn�nk �ljen, mind az �rz�sben, mind az �rz�kel�sben.
B�rmi t�rt�nhet �s b�rmi t�rt�nik, fel� abszol�t egyens�llyal kell fordulnunk.
Tudnunk kell, hogy minden, ami �ramlik fel�nk, egy b�lcsess�gteljes vil�gkorm�nyb�l
fakad.
Ez a tud�s r�sze annak, amit ebben a korszakban meg kell tanulnunk. Abszol�t
bizalomb�l �lni, minden egzisztenci�lis biztons�g n�lk�l. Bizalom a szellemvil�g
mindenkor jelen l�v� seg�ts�g�ben. Ez az egyetlen l�tez� seg�ts�g, ha rem�ny�nket
�s b�tors�gunkat nem adjuk fel. Fegyelmezz�k az akaratunkat, �s keress�k az
�bred�st saj�t magunkb�l minden reggel �s minden este.
Preamble to the Michael Meditation, Rudolph Steiner
We must eradicate from the soul all fear and terror of what comes out of the
future. We must acquire serenity in all feelings and sensations about the future.
We must look forward with absolute equanimity to everything that may come and we
must think only that whatever comes is given to us by a world-direction, full of
wisdom. It is part of what we must learn in this age: namely to live out of pure
trust, without any security in existence, trusting in the every present help of the
spiritual world. Truly nothing else will do if our courage is not to fail us, let
us seek the awakening from within ourselves, every morning and evening.
Not to diminish the value of these words, but just to set the record straight, I
merely point out that--similar to the popular "Genius has boldness" verse
attributed to Goethe--this verse has origins in Steiner's work, but is not actually
directly from his pen or mouth as such. For those who are interested, I'll paste
below exerpts from three emails that appeared on the anthropos-science list this
time last year that spelled this out.

[first exerpt]
This "trust meditation" is one of several translations of several versions
that are in circulation. The editors at the Rudolf Steiner Archive,
however, have pointed out that none of these versions were ever given as
such by Rudolf Steiner. They were created by unknown persons by patching
together and modifying various passages from Steiner's lectures (or
possibly from elsewhere). The first six lines in the above version, for
example, are an abbreviated passage from Steiner's lecture "Cognition and
Immortality" (Bremen, Nov. 27, 1910), which has been published only in the
Archive newsletter (Beitr?ge zur Rudolf Steiner Gesamtausgabe, #98, p.
10). The remaining lines come from the end of Emanuel Zeylmans' biography
of his father, "Willem Zeylmans van Emmichoven. Ein Pionier der
Anthroposophie" (Arlesheim 1979, p. 358). The son relates that at his
father's death he found a slip of paper in his father's wallet with these
lines, which supposedly came from Rudolf Steiner. Although this is
entirely possible (Willem was a friend of Steiner's and became the General
Secretary of the Dutch Anthroposophical Society), the editors at the Rudolf
Steiner Archive have not been able to independently verify the source of
these words.
The foregoing facts do not necessarily affect the truth of the whole
"verse," but readers should be aware that it was not given as such by
Rudolf Steiner and that it therefore probably does not have the occult
power inherent in Steiner's other meditative verses.

I think the reference everyone is looking for is 27th November 1919.

Where Steiner said.
"....First, however, everything that remains of the old will have to be

reduced to nothingness. The clouds will have to gather round the human
being, and he will have to find his freedom - find his own power, his
own strength out of this nothingness. Outer material need will change
into soul need, and out of this deep need of the soul will vision be
born.
We must tear up by the roots every trace of fear and shrinking in face
of what the future threatens to bring to human beings. All our feeling
about the future must be permeated with calm and confidence. Absolute
equanimity in face of whatever the future may bring - that is what man
has to acquire, knowing as he does that everything that happens, happens
under an all-wise cosmic guidance.
Our part is to do what is right in each moment as it comes - and to
leave the rest to the future, That indeed is the lesson we have to
learn in our time, to base our lives on simple trust. without any
security of existence, to have trust in the ever-present help of the
spiritual world. That is the only way for us if our courage is not to
fail. Let us then set to work to discipline our will....."

[exerpt three]
Steiner did not say this on Nov. 27, 1919; this is another amalgam of out
of context passages. In this amalgam the first paragraph is extracted from
the end of Steiner's lecture of Oct. 30, 1920 (GA 200, p. 120), which is
published in English as lecture 6 of "The New Spirituality". The second
paragraph is a different translation of the first paragraph of the "trust
meditation" that I commented on earlier (the date is Nov. 27, 1910, not
1919). I don't know where the first sentence of the third paragraph comes
from. The remainder of the last paragraph is a different (and incomplete)
translation of the material from Emmichoven.
