Rudolf Steiner and Christian Rosenkreutz

Rudolf Steiner and Christian Rosenkreutz

â€œOnly in our time has it become possible once again to unlock the sources of Rosicrucian wisdom and allow them to flow into the whole of cultureâ€¦ Christian Rosenkreutz has always lived among us and he is with us today too as the guide of spiritual life....
â€œThe spiritual stream related to Christian Rosenkreutz offers the most potent assistance to those who strive to understand the Christ impulse.â€ â€•Rudolf Steiner

Rudolf Steiner spoke often of the relationship of Anthroposophy or Spiritual Science to Rosicrucianism, but he spoke less of the being of Christian Rosenkreutz himself. As he said, â€œTo speak of Christian Rosenkreutz presumes a profound trust in the mysteries of the life of the spiritâ€•a trust or faith not in the person of Christian Rosenkreutz, but in the mysteries of spiritual life.â€

For Steiner, Christian Rosenkreutz was active in at least three ways. First, as one of the â€œgreat leaders of humanity,â€ he worked to bring esoteric spirituality into the modern world and to lead it into the future. Second, as â€œthe greatest teacher of Christianityâ€ he worked to bring to humanity true â€œheart knowledgeâ€ of Christ through the continued unveiling of the Mystery of Golgotha in the etheric. Third, as a concrete, particular individual being, Steiner had a living, actual, personal relationship with him. As such, because of our failure to understand, Steiner called him â€œa noble martyr...who, through his way of working, endured, and will in future endure, more than any other person. I say â€˜person,â€™ for the suffering of Christ was the suffering of a god.â€

In the first part of this inspiring bookâ€•a work of devotion both to Rudolf Steiner and to Christian Rosenkreutzâ€•Peter Selg, as â€œThe Great Servant of Christ Jesus,â€ gives a detailed, chronological, and fascinating account of Steinerâ€™s portrayal and, as much as possible, experiences of Christian Rosenkreutz. He shows how Steiner had essentially two teachers: the Master Jesus (Zoroaster) and Christian Rosenkreutz. Moreover, Selg shows how these two, with Rudolf Steiner, unfolded spiritual science for our time. In the second part, he shows how all this culminates, astonishingly and miraculously, in the Michael School as it manifested in the First Class.

Rudolf Steiner and Christian Rosenkreutz concludes with an appendix containing the text of the original (1614) Fama, or â€œAnnouncement of the Rosicrucian Brotherhood.â€

All those interested in the esoteric foundations of Anthroposophy or in the true meaning of Rosicrucianism will be find this book of great value.
