One can ascend to a higher development only by bringing rhythm and repetition into one's life. Rhythm holds sway in all nature.

Knowledge has value only insofar as it contributes to the all-round development of the whole nature of man.

Only a person who has passed through the gate of humility can ascend to the heights of the spirit.

You can get an idea of human nature only when you can see the relationship of the individual human being to the whole cosmos.

The strength people need to proceed along the path of human development can come only from the spiritual worlds.

For the most part, people think in ordinary life without bringing order into their thoughts. The guiding principles and epochs of human development and planetary evolution, the great viewpoints which have been opened by the initiates, bring thought into ordered forms. All of this is a part of Rosicrucian training. It is called the Study.
