4 THE PRIMARY FEATURES OF STEINER'S ANTHOPOSOPHY EXPRESSED IN DIE PFORTE

4A: The dramatic elements of Das Märchen provide a template for Die Pforte, but these are adapted for didactic purposes, with regard to Steiner's esoteric worldview

4B: Steiner's view of the spirituality portrayed in Die Pforte is quintessentially expressed by his interpretation of Goethe

4C: The concepts of reincarnation and karma are seen as compatible to Christianity, and are understood to have a rational basis

4D: Steiner's earlier holistic epistemology is based on a proto-type of the 'ether-body' postulate

4E: Steiner's holistic epistemological conviction that the limits to knowledge may be extended, is reflected in Die Pforte's portrayal of the efficacy of meditation

4F: A major element in Steiner's anthroposophy is an esoteric-mystical Christian perspective, in which a connection between conscience and the Second Coming - as understood by Steiner - has a discrete role

4G: The spiritual development process underlying Die Pforte is derived from the view of the human being as an interrelated septenary organism of body, ether body, a triune soul, self and a triune spirit
