The Christmas Festival and Its Spiritual Significance, a lecture by Rudolph Steiner
Temple of the Living FireDear unknown friend, today we will present a lecture by the famous mystic, clairvoyant, and founder of Anthroposophy, Rudolf Steiner, on the Christmas Festival and its meaning. Please enjoy the episode! Magus Incognito reads: The Festival of Christmas which we shall soon be celebrating acquires new life when a deeper, more spiritual conception of the world is brought to bear upon it. In a spiritual sense the Christmas Festival is a Festival of the Sun, and as such we shall think of it to- day. To begin with, let us listen to the beautiful apostrophe to the sun which Goethe puts into the mouth of Faust: “Life’s pulses newly-quickened now awaken, Softly to greet the ethereal twilight leaping; Thou Earth through this night too hast stood unshaken, And at my feet fresh breathest from thy sleeping... _____ Goethe lets these words be spoken by Faust, the representative of humanity, as he gazes at the radiant morning sun. But the Festival of which we are now to speak has to do with a Sun belonging to a far deeper realm of being than the sun which rises anew every morning. And it is this deeper Sun that will be the guiding moth in our thoughts to- day. And now we will listen to words in which the deepest import of the Christmas Mystery is mirrored. In all ages these words resounded in the ears of those who were pupils of the Mysteries—before they were allowed to participate in the Mysteries themselves: “Behold the Sun At tire midnight hour; Build with stones in the lifeless ground, Thus in decay and in the night of Death Find the Creation's new beginning, Young morning's strength; Glory in the heights the eternal Word of Gods; Shelter in the depths the Powers of Peace. In darkness dwelling, create a Sun. In matter weaving, know the joy of Spirit!” Many to whom the Christmas Tree with its candles is a familiar sight to-day, believe that it is a very ancient institution—but this is not the case. The Christmas Tree is a very recent European custom, dating no further back than about a hundred years or so. Although, however, the Christmas Tree is a recent custom, the Christmas Festival is very ancient. It was celebrated in the earliest Mysteries of all religions, not as a festival of the outer sun but as one which awakens in men an inkling of the very wellsprings of existence. It was celebrated every year by the highest Initiates in the Mysteries, at the time of the year when the sun sends least power to the earth, bestows least warmth. But it was also celebrated by those who might not yet participate in the whole festival, who might witness only the outer, pictorial expression of the highest Mysteries. This imagery has been preserved through the ages, varying in form according to the several creeds. The Christmas Festival is the Festival of the Holy Night, celebrated in the Mysteries by those who were ready for the awakening of the higher Self within them, or, as we should say in our time, those who have brought the Christ to birth within them. Only those who have no inkling of the fact that as well as the chemical and physical forces, spiritual forces are also at work and that the workings of both kinds of forces take effect at definite times and seasons in cosmic life, can imagine that the moment of the awakening of the higher Self in man is of no importance. ____________ #christmas #christmastree #rudolfsteiner #steiner #lecture #christos #jesuschrist #spirituality #spiritualawakening #truespirituality #hermeticphilosophy #christianhermeticism119 views 5 comments -
The Saturn-Jupiter Conjunction of 7 BC and the Star of Bethlehem
Temple of the Living FireIn the Year 7 BC, a triple conjunction took place between the planets Saturn and Jupiter in the sign of Pisces. Many Hermeticists believe this was indeed the actual star the Magi saw as indicating a miraculous birth. Before I get into that, let me present the general view of these two planets, that from a Hermetic perspective forms one of the most interesting set of polarities. The symbol for Saturn is the cross of manifestation depicted above the crescent. Indicating to us the moon or personality held down by the cross. The planet is associated with the lords of Karma, the reaping of what we have sown in that respect, and it is akin to the first law of manifestation, limitation. Hence it’s also qualitatively, or archetypally, associated with the Sefirah Binah, the Archangel Zafkiel, and the Guardian of the Threshold. The Symbol of Jupiter conversely shows us the Crescent depicted above the cross. Suggesting a relationship to the superconscious Self, which is not limited and confined because it is linked to the divine mind. It signifies divine authority coming through obedience to the Spirit. In more mundane terms, looking at birth charts, where Saturn rests at the time of birth, there is karmic debt and/or, relentless evolutionary pressure from higher planes working on the personality, tempering it, refining it, all to the end of revealing the diamond inside the coal. The Story of Job demonstrates to us the work of Saturn, as tester, as a force that creates trials in human spiritual development. According to Edgar Cayce, Saturn is also the afterlife realm referred to as Purgatory by the Catholic Church, of which Edgar Cayce said souls may enter and God loves those who would begin again. The essence of the experience is also portrayed in the weighing of the soul or heart against a feather in the ancient Egyptian understanding. Saturn is intimately related, in a qualitative sense, to the Angel Zafkiel, the personification or manifestation of Binah in Olam Briah. This Holy Angel can manifest as a Dark Angel of Judgement, or an Angel of Mercy according to the consciousness of the spiritual aspirant who has succeeded in making contact with this force-intelligence. As the function of Zafkiel is awakening what is unconscious, cosmic memory, granting knowledge of karmic purpose, concealing or revealing knowledge of past lives, but ultimately, it confronts one with the totality of who one actually is. If one is completely identified with the mental image they have of themselves, carrying much negativity in the shadow, anger, hatred, greed, fear, then such an experience becomes a trial by fire. The Angel Zafkiel and the Sphere of Binah, rule over Teshuva, a Hebrew word conveying the idea of returning and repentance both at once. And this is the key to Tikkun or cosmic mending and the realization of Olam Ha-bah, or the future perfected world. Saturn is an especially interesting planet as it is associated with these very many heavy, weighty, limiting themes, yet physically it is the least dense planet in the solar system. So much so that if there was an ocean big enough, it would float on its waters. I point this out to suggest something of its dual or paradoxical nature, and that is to say, from a personality perspective the effects of Saturn in our lives may bring trials and difficulty, yet from a higher perspective its motive is love, and the realization of one's essential nature, and it leads us slowly but surely to true freedom. As it is through the sphere of Binah that true and sincere repentance and renunciation can lead to Liberation from endless cycles of death and Rebirth. Jupiter, indicates karmic credit in contrast to Saturn's karmic debt, and suggests areas in which we have been more true to our divine nature in previous incarnations. And in this life have relative freedom and grace acting through our lives. As an example, a person with Jupiter in the second or eighth house, may well get unexpected financial gains, be seemingly lucky, and to others always at the right place or right time, or perhaps seem to have good instincts, but this is not luck, this is due to their own charity and generosity in previous lives, a quality that lives on in them as a virtue. Saturn in these same houses can create loss, and lessons in attachment to wealth. Or success but only after great effort and discipline, depending on many factors. Now, returning to the triple conjunction of 7 BC. This conjunction is the union of the two planets, in their synodic cycle. A unification and synthesis of the extreme polarities they represent, occurring in Pisces, and very much suggesting a great revelation, a great incarnation, a karmic incarnation, and perhaps the birth of a Piscean Avatar... ____________ #astrology #saturn #jupiter #conjunction #starofbethlehem #jesus #christ #mysticchristianity #hermeticism #hermeticastrology #cabbala #isaacluria #carljung #edgarcayce62 views 2 comments
