Add your two cents. Shares By Douglas Gabriel There has always been much confusion and mystery around this painting of Anna May Rychter in Anthroposophic circles. Many believe the painting was made by Edith Maryon, Rudolf Steiner’s close associate in creating the First Goetheanum and the sculpting of the Representation of Mankind. Others believe that Steiner himself painted it or that it was created and then hidden. No one seems to know where the original painting disappeared to and the rumors about why it was created abound. Having known of this painting for four decades and meditating its content for as long, I finally came across an article by Margarethe Hauschka, a very reliable source, that explains many of the mysteries of the painting and the central role that this painting would have played in the first building Steiner wanted to create in Munich. With the discovery of the content of Hauschka’s article, I was able to add to a description of the painting that came from “unknown” sources that I had been using all those years in trying to decipher its meaning. The new information from Anna May’s description, along with Hauschka’s remarks, gave me insight into the central themes of the painting, giving me tremendous insight regarding the lives of Christian Rosenkreutz and Lazarus/St. John the Divine. All of Freemasonry is based upon the “two John’s of Jerusalem,” who are known as St. John the Divine and St. John the Baptist. Prior to building the First Goetheanum, Steiner had planned to build a hall in Munich which was to be dedicated to Lazarus/St. John with the name Johannesbau, or St. John’s building. We know from Steiner that Lazarus/St. John was also the mysterious figure Christian Rosenkreutz, the founder of Rosicrucianism. The spiritual history, life, and teachings of Rosenkreutz was first promulgated in three initial books by Johann Valentin Andreae and later through Henricus Madathanus and others. Prior to these books, the life of Christian Rosenkreutz was one of great mystery and spiritual import. Although Rosenkreutz’s incarnation in the thirteenth century was not recorded in outer history, Rudolf Steiner was able to determine through his clairvoyance that this was his incarnation of a “wondrous child” who was initiated by the twelve great masters. The right panel of the painting, known as a triptych, displays the initiation of Christian Rosenkreutz as a model for all humans to follow in the distant future.

Trump Collectible Pocket Watch - Up To 80% Off! The Johannesbau was to have the triptych in a central position of the building, demonstrating Rudolf Steiner’s personal knowledge and experience with the founder of Rosicrucianism. Steiner’s Anthroposophy is a form of Rosicrucianism inspired by Christian Rosenkreutz, who we know later by the name of the Comte de Saint Germain who lived in the eighteenth century. What is quite notable about the Anna May’s story of the triptych is that she names Christian Rosenkreutz in her description as the reincarnation of Cain who became Hiram Abif who became St. John-Lazarus. This series of incarnations from Cain to Hiram to Lazarus/St. John to Rosenkreutz is one of the most amazing lines of karmic descent that has ever been visually depicted. To see that the first sin of death by Cain is redeemed by Jesus Christ dying on the cross is a powerful insight of wisdom that shows the true nature of karma and reincarnation. Add to this revelation another one from Anna May: that Solomon was the reincarnated Able who then reincarnated as Mary Magdalene. These are profound veils that have been lifted quite a veil for the spiritual researcher. Cain and Abel stood under the Cross, as the reincarnated St. John and Mary Magdalene, and the ‘Mark of Cain’ was finally removed. After this “sin” had been redeemed through love and wisdom, Cain-Hiram-St. John, in his later incarnation as Christian Rosenkreutz, was able to go through an advanced initiation process that the rest of humanity can follow in time. Essentially, Cain begins as the original author of war and ends as the servant of the Christ, the author of peace. Rudolf Steiner is the only author who describes this special initiation process that Rosenkreutz went through in the thirteenth century. Later in the fourteenth century, Rosenkreutz goes through another initiation as depicted in the book, The Chemical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz. Steiner describes this initiation of the wondrous child: The Mission of Christian Rosenkreutz, Intimate Workings of Karma, Rudolf Steiner, Lecture IV, February 9, 1912.

Twelve men in Europe of great and outstanding wisdom, whose spiritual development had taken an unusual course, emerged from the condition of twilight that had obscured clairvoyant vision. Of these twelve wise men, seven, to begin with, must be distinguished. Remembrance of their earlier Initiations had remained in these seven men, and this remembrance, together with the knowledge still surviving was such that the seven men recapitulated in themselves conditions they had once lived through in the period following the Atlantean catastrophe — the ancient Indian epoch of culture. The teachings given by the seven holy Rishis of India had come to life again in the souls of these seven wise men of Europe; seven rays of the ancient wisdom of the sacred Atlantean culture shone forth in the hearts of these seven men who through the operations of world-karma had gathered at a certain place in Europe in the thirteenth century and had found one another again. To these seven came four others. In the soul of the first of these four, the wisdom belonging to the ancient Indian culture shone forth — he was the eighth among the twelve. The wisdom of the ancient Persian culture lived in the soul of the ninth; the wisdom of the third period — that of Egyptian-Chaldean culture — lived in the soul of the tenth, and the wisdom of Graeco-Latin culture in the soul of the eleventh. The wisdom of culture as it was in that particular age — the contemporary wisdom — lived in the soul of the twelfth. In these twelve men who came together to perform a special mission, the twelve different streams in the spiritual development of mankind were represented. The fact that all true religions and all true philosophies belong to twelve basic types is in itself a mystery. Buddhism, Brahmanism, Vedanta philosophy, materialism, or whatever it be — all of them can be traced to the twelve basic types; it is only a matter of setting to work with precision and accuracy. And so all the different streams of man’s spiritual life — the religions, the philosophies and conceptions of the world spread over the Earth — were united in that “College” of the Twelve. After the period of darkness had passed and spiritual achievement was possible again, a Thirteenth came, in remarkable circumstances, to the Twelve. I am telling you now of one of those events which transpire secretly in the evolution of mankind once and once only. They cannot occur a second time and are mentioned not as a hint that efforts should be made to repeat them but for quite other reasons. When the darkness had lifted and it was possible again to unfold clairvoyant vision, the coming of the Thirteenth was announced in a mysterious way to the twelve wise men. They knew: a child with significant and remarkable incarnations behind him is now to be born. They knew that one of his incarnations had been at the time of the Mystery of Golgotha. It was known, therefore, that one who had been a contemporary of the Events in Palestine was returning. The birth of the child in these unusual circumstances during the thirteenth century could not have been said to be that of an individuality of renown. In speaking of previous lives there is a deplorable and only too widespread tendency to go back to important historical personages. I have come across all kinds of people who believe that they were incarnated as some historical personage or figure in the Gospels. Only recently a lady informed me that she had been Mary Magdelene and I could only reply that she was the twenty-fourth Mary Magdelene I had met during my life! In these matters the most scrupulous care must be taken to prevent fantastic notions arising. History tells us very little about the incarnations of the Thirteenth. He was born many times, with great and profound qualities of heart. It was known that this Individuality was to be born again as a child and that he was destined for a very special mission. This knowledge was revealed to the twelve seers who took the child entirely into their charge and were able to arrange that from the very beginning he was shut off from the outside world. He was removed from his family and cared for by these twelve men. Guided by their clairvoyance, they reared the child with every care, in such a way that all the forces acquired from previous incarnations were able to unfold in him. The child developed in a strange and remarkable way. The Twelve were not in any sense fanatics; they were full of inner composure, enlightenment and peacefulness of heart. They were very sparing with teaching clothed in words but because they lived in communion with the boy, twelve rays of light as it were went out of them into him and were resolved, in his soul, into one great harmony. It would not have been possible to give him any kind of academic examination; nevertheless there lived within him, transmuted into feeling and sensitive perception, all that the twelve representatives of the twelve different types of religion poured into his soul. His whole soul echoed back the harmony of the twelve different forms of belief spread over the Earth. In this way the soul of the boy had very much to bear and worked in a strange way upon the body. Strangely enough, as the harmony within the boy’s soul increased, the more delicate his body became — more and more delicate, until at a certain age of life it was transparent in every limb. The boy ate less and less until finally he took no nourishment at all. Then he lay for days in a condition of complete torpor: the soul had left the body, but returned after a few days. The youth was now inwardly quite changed. The twelve different rays of the mind of humanity were united in a single radiance and he gave utterance to the greatest, most wonderful secrets; he did not repeat what the first, or the second, or the third had said, but gave forth in a new and wonderful synthesis, all that they would have said had they spoken in unison; all the knowledge they possessed was gathered into one whole and when voiced by the Thirteenth this new wisdom seemed actually to have come to birth in him. It was as though a higher Spirit were speaking in him. Something entirely and essentially new was thus imparted to the twelve wise men. Wisdom in abundance was imparted to them, and to each individually, greater illumination of what had been known to him hitherto. I have been describing to you the first School of Christian Rosenkreutz, for the Thirteenth is the Individuality known to us by that name. In that incarnation he died after only a brief earthly existence; in the fourteenth century he was born again and lived, then, for more than a hundred years. Thus in the thirteenth century his life was brief, in the fourteenth century, very long. During the first half of this later incarnation he went on great journeys in search of the different centers of culture in Europe, Africa and Asia, in order to gather knowledge of what had come to life in him during the previous century; then he returned to Europe. A few of those who had brought him up in the thirteenth century were again in incarnation and were joined by others. This was the time of the inauguration of the Rosicrucian stream of spiritual life. And Christian Rosenkreutz himself incarnated again and again. To this very day he is at work — during the brief intervals, too, when he is not actually in incarnation; through his higher bodies he then works spiritually into human beings, without the need of spatial contact. We must try to picture the mysterious way in which his influence operates. The forces in the ether bodies of highly developed individualities stream out and have a potent effect upon other human beings. The ether body of Christian Rosenkreutz, too, works far and wide into the world. And reference must here be made to a fact that is of the greatest significance in many human lives; it is something that transpires in the spiritual world between death and a new birth and is not to be ascribed to “chance.” Christian Rosenkreutz has always made use of the short intervals of time between his incarnations to call into his particular stream of spiritual life those souls whom he knows to be ripe; between his deaths and births he has concerned himself, as it were, with choosing out those who are ready to enter his stream. But human beings themselves, by learning to be attentive, must be able to recognize by what means Christian Rosenkreutz gives them a sign that they may count themselves among his chosen. This sign has been given in the lives of very many human beings of the present time, but they pay no heed to it. Yet among the apparently “chance” happenings in a man’s life there may be such a sign — it is to be regarded as an indication that between death and a new birth Christian Rosenkreutz has found him mature and ready; the sign is, however, given by Christian Rosenkreutz on the physical plane. This event may be called the mark of Christian Rosenkreutz. Let us suppose that a man is lying in bed – in other places I have mentioned different forms of such a happening but all of them have occurred – for some unaccountable reason he suddenly wakes up and as though guided by instinct looks at a wall otherwise quite dark; in the half-light of the room. He sees, written on the wall: “Get up now, this minute!” It all seems very strange, but he gets up and goes out of the house; hardly has he done so than the ceiling over his bed collapses; although nobody else would have been in danger of injury, he himself must inevitably have been killed. The most thorough investigation proves that no single being on the physical plane warned him to get up from the bed! If he had remained lying there, he would certainly be dead. Such an experience may be thought to be hallucination, or something of the kind; but deeper investigation will reveal that these particular experiences — and they come to hundreds of people — are not accidental. A beckoning call has come from Christian Rosenkreutz. The karma of the one called in this way always indicates that Christian Rosenkreutz bestows the life he may claim. I say explicitly: such experiences occur in the lives of many people at the present time, and it is only a question of being alert. The occurrence does not always take such a graphic form as the example quoted, but numbers of human beings nowadays have had such experiences. Now when I say something more than once during a lecture, I do so quite deliberately, because I find that strange conclusions are apt to be drawn from things that are half — or totally forgotten. I say this because nobody need be discouraged because he has had no such experience; this need not really be the case, for if he searches he will find something of the kind in his life. Naturally, I can only single out a typical occurrence. There, then, we have in our life, a fact of which we may say that its cause does not lie in a period of actual incarnation; we may have contacted Christian Rosenkreutz in the spiritual world. I have laid particular stress on this outstanding event of the call. Other events, too, could be mentioned, events connected directly with the spiritual world and to be found during the life between death and a new birth; but in our special circumstances we shall realize the significance of this event which is so intimately connected with our spiritual Movement. I have told you of the strange event in the thirteenth century, purely in the form of historical narrative, in order to indicate those things to which men must pay attention if they are to find their proper place in life and understand the beckoning call of Christian Rosenkreutz. To make this possible the preparation by the Twelve and the coming of the Thirteenth were necessary. The event in the thirteenth century was necessary in order that in our own time and hereafter, such a beckoning or other sign may be understood and obeyed. Christian Rosenkreutz has created this sign in order to rouse the attention of men to the demands of the times, to indicate to them that they belong to him and may dedicate their lives to him in the service of the progress of humanity. The preceding quotation of Steiner’s describes a unique and powerful story that is a crucial piece in solving the puzzle of human spiritual development. Rosenkreutz is the example of what will happen to all humans as they ascend into the spiritual world through spiritual development. It also shows us that the masters never leave the earth or abandon humanity to our own petty human ways. There is always spiritual intervention and assistance offered at all stages of the spiritual path. All spiritual beings evolve and no one is beyond the hope, grace, and mercy of the spiritual world and the countless beings who work together to aid human development. The lessons of karma are displayed through the lives of Cain and Abel, Hiram and Solomon, and St. John and Mary Magdalene. These archetypal lessons of karma and reincarnation were to adorn Steiner’s Temple of Wisdom and instruct aspirants who would see the paintings in the ways of spirit. The cosmic healing power of Christ’s deed (the Mystery of the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ) is seen through the healing of… truncated (31,024 more characters in archive)
