"Thus, it is up to us to rise to the occasion during the darkness of winter to accept the spiritual Sun within our own hearts"
Rudolf Steiner's concept of the "spiritual Sun" in winter refers to the inner light and consciousness that individuals must cultivate during the dark, dormant months.
As external nature withdraws, Steiner saw winter as a time for introspection and spiritual renewal - urging people to awaken their inner being rather than succumb to outer darkness.
The "spiritual Sun" symbolizes the human capacity to generate wisdom, warmth, and divine awareness from within, mirroring the physical sun's life-giving role in nature. Through inner work, meditation, and moral development, one can "create a Sun" in the soul, transforming winter's darkness into a period of spiritual rebirth and illumination.
