The future of humanity according to the Rosicrucian perspective, particularly as articulated by Rudolf Steiner, is intimately tied to its collective mindset and spiritual orientation. Steiner emphasizes that the nature of human thought today shapes the reality of the future. Materialistic thinking is forecasted to lead to the emergence of "frightful beings," whereas spiritual thoughts will contribute to the evolution of humanity toward more beautiful and refined forms. . The journey towards such an evolved state involves overcoming materialism, fostering universal brotherhood through spiritual knowledge rather than a mere emphasis on love or sympathy, and eventually transforming human capabilities and physicality. Steiner suggests that as humanity advances, it will see a dematerialization of its physical form, a change in the reproductive process, and an eventual transcendence of the concept of race.
