Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ Through a very special and unique preparation a human body was formed, the only one capable of receiving a divine spirit. A divine spirit who descended from the highest spiritual spheres to the earth sphere, sphere by sphere, in the epochs before. A God becomes man. "... on the astral plan there is room for all, because there the beings penetrate each other; for the law of impenetrability applies only to the physical plan", (B008 , 21.11.1908). Thus a higher being can put himself in the place of a lower being. An Elohim can appear as an Archangel and the Son can descend as a high Sun Spirit to the Elohim sphere and from this descent to an incarnation of a human body, in the body of Jesus in his thirtieth year of life. The embodiment of the Christ in Jesus, the appearance and work as Jesus Christ on earth, death on the cross and resurrection were the macrocosmic birth of the Christ as the Spirit of the earth. "If we could look down from a distant star to the earth through long millennia, we would find a point in time when Christ would work on earth in such a way that all astral matter would be permeated by the Christ. The Christ is the spirit of the earth, and the earth is His body. Everything that lives and sprouts and grows on earth is the Christ. He is in all the seeds, in all the trees and in everything that grows and sprouts on the earth. Therefore, Christ had to point to the bread and say: "This is my body", (B100, 2.12.1906). Before becoming the spirits of the earth, Christ was incarnated in a human body that was destined and prepared for this. The birth of the Jesus child, the life of the two Jesus children, the going together and living on in a Jesus body, the high and painful experiences of the Zaratustra ego and the recognition of the hopelessness of the development of humanity were preparation that for John's baptism the ego of the Zaratustra could disappear from the Jesus body and the Christ Spirit could enter the body of Jesus. "So it was the I of Jesus of Nazareth who, in the thirtieth year of his life, made the great sacrifice of making his purified bodies available to the individuality of the Christ. Christ filled these three bodies. After this time, we speak of the Christ Jesus who walked the earth for three years and accomplished the great deeds in the Body of Jesus", (B100, 2.12.1906). And in previous cultural periods the Christ-being approached the human sphere of the earth. In this approach in the 12 signs of the zodiac of the fixed star sky to the sphere of the seven wandering stars above the interaction of the sun, moon and earth, towards a single embodiment on earth. In each case, the Christ-being worked for the development of humanity, a necessary harmonization of the 12 senses, the 7 organs of life, the 3 abilities of thinking, feeling and wanting, up to the harmonization of the human ego. "... the danger that would have existed in the fact that through the influence of Lucifer and Ahriman the ego of man would have been disordered. The sensory organs would have been disordered by Lucifer in the Lemurian age; in the first Atlantic period, the organs of life were threatened by disorder and disharmony; in the last Atlantic periods, the organs of the mind, the organs that underlie thinking, feeling and will. And in the post-Atlantic period the ego itself was threatened with disorder. Because the ego was to take its place in human development during this time, people sought to establish harmony between this ego and the forces of the cosmos, so that the ego would not become a plaything of the forces of the cosmos", (B105, 1.6.1914). The effect of the opponents of human development aims at disharmonization or at making developmental steps impossible. Thus the twelve senses of man should be brought into disorder. "It threatened at that time that the twelve cosmic forces which have an effect on human beings would be thrown into disorder by demonic beings", (105, 5.3.1914). "Man was infected, so to speak, with the Luciferian impulse... The twelve sensory forces - for there are twelve of them - of man would have been such that man would have become supersensitive", (B105, 30.3.1914). Through the action of the Christ-being the senses of man could be brought back into harmony. "The entities of the higher hierarchies saw this. As the nathan Jesus lived later, in the Lemurian time he was present in the spiritual world in an angelic being, and it was given to him to penetrate with the Christ-being. While the shells were later penetrated with the Christ-being, the soul element of this angelic being was then spiritualized by the Christ-impulse. At that time, the Christ-Impulse was already sinking into the soul of the later nathan Jesus. This happened in the spiritual world, but the rays that emanated from it spread over the earth and soothed the hypersensitive human senses, so that the danger was eliminated," (B105, 30.3.1914). In the following Atlantic period, the opposing powers acted on the seven life organs of man to bring them into imbalance. „... in the first time of Atlantis the life organs and the etheric body of man were in danger. These organs of an etheric body permeated by the influence of Lucifer and Ahriman would have developed in such a way that man would have taken on a form unworthy of the human being. Everything would have had to be done in such a way that man would have pursued what was useful to him with greed and would have been able to look at what was not useful to him only with disgust. Between greed and disgust human life would have passed", (B105, 30.3.1914). Not only with the senses and the organs of life but also with thinking, feeling and wanting, the orderly interaction is essential for human being and being. Here, too, in the now late Atlantic period, there was an influence of the adversaries who wanted to turn the thinking, feeling and wanting of man into disorder, into delusion. "Towards the end of the Atlantic time the third preliminary stage developed. Once again mankind faced a great danger. Now thinking, feeling and wanting were to be brought together. The utterances of the soul were to be disharmonized so that man could not have developed thinking, feeling and wanting in an orderly manner, but that these would have stirred each other like mad", (B105, 30.3.1914). Fourthly, the ego itself was endangered in its development by the effect of the opponents. "Then came the time when mankind was faced with a fourth great danger. In Lemuria the physical body faced a danger, then in Atlantia the etheric and astral organs. Now it was the I that was to be disordered", (B105, 30.3.1914). "If this blood had not flowed, the ego-addiction in the blood of man would have become bigger and bigger in the course of the development. The purification of the blood from the ego-addiction, this is brought about by the mystery of Golgotha. The blood of man was saved from his ego-addiction through this act of love", (B044, 1.4.1907). The act of Christ is thus also an act that is a matter for the gods. The Fall, the temptation of man, the obscuring of his astral body by Lucifer, is not caused by man, nor could it be prevented by him. It was and is a matter between gods. Thus, man could not save himself from his deep fall into the earthly realm, only the Son of God made man could accomplish this act of salvation. Man is separated from the spiritual world by the Fall of Man, by the act of Lucifer which was a supernatural act. It is the supersensible deed of the gods of Christ that balances and heals, it also takes place in the sensual realm, so that man could watch. "The gates of heaven are opened and in shines a deity." (B115, P.211). The only act on earth that is completely supernatural, no wonder that so many who do not believe in the supernatural cannot believe the act of Christ. The gods did not know death. (T036, GA223, lecture Easter Sunday April 1, 1923). The effectiveness of the gods had its limit at the gates of hell. Man rose up into hell. This was a subconscious protrusion into the realm of Ahriman. The Christ through his death and resurrection, could descend into the realm of the Ahriman powers and defeat them. In Jesus Christ we see the embodiment of the Son of God, the Christ-being of the highest sphere of the Trinitarian Godhead. In the gospels we can find the highest ideals of wisdom, power and love: 1) The ideal of wisdom: Birth of the spirit king, the individuality of Zaratustra, as the highest and wisest individuality of mankind, received by three highest magicians, kings, an impulse of love and goodness to which enmity is opposed in the form of Herod (Gospel of Matthew). 2) The supreme power: The Christ impulse, as an understanding of the cosmic Christ, a powerful entity enters into humanity. Much greater than the spirit king (John & Mark Gospel). 3. the highest meaning of love: the human, simple, helpless, powerless child, as if excluded from the development of mankind. All can feel a kinship with the simple child who spoke so great to all people (Luke's Gospel). In Jesus of Nazareth, after the baptism in the Jordan River, the high Christ Being had moved in. In this Jesus-Christ lived a being that had become human, which had a spiritual consciousness, a conscious omniscience. And he lived as an example of how a person can overcome adversaries, stand in connection with the spiritual world in self-consciousness and from this connection with the spiritual world can have a healing effect in the physical world. No traditional earthly rules and customs applied to him, he then broke them when he recognized from his present experience that a different way of acting led to good, but always keeping the eternal spiritual laws. The moral intuition first lived in Jesus Christ. The full I-Conscious Spiritual Presence: Perception from within the I, spiritual intuition, pure judgement, complete recognition and moral, healing, selflessly loving action. He taught us how to deal with adversaries, how to cast out demons, heal diseases, show scribes and Pharisees their limits, overcome outdated rules where they prevent moral action. Showing people their way back to the spiritual world. But now as a self-confident thinking being. Jesus Christ expressed this human ideal with the words: "Stay here, stay with me, watch and pray. (Mt. 26, 36-56; Mk. 14, 38). It was a self-sacrifice of the Christ-being, for the salvation of mankind and a decision for lasting help, until the end of all days. A most selfless, self-sacrificing, freely giving love again and again and again, acts of love without return. A God went through these sufferings voluntarily, he took upon himself in complete innocence the sufferings and guilt of human beings. Experienced a complete powerlessness a complete loss of power, the loss of all wisdom, the decay of his physical body, the agonizing death on the cross, the experience of death, the descent into the layers of the earth, the kingdom of Ahriman into the so-called hell. In this passage through death the Christ Being formed a new human physical body, a new Adam, the body which is to become the future body for mankind. The resurrection in the newly formed body, the new Adam. Forty days in which he appeared to his disciples and to many people and in which he explained to his disciples the spiritual wisdom and truths behind his earthly deeds during the time between his baptism in the Jordan and his death on the Cross. Then the Ascension: The permanent connection of Christ with the earth, as a spiritual being, the earth becomes his physical body. "When you take the solid earth with all that it has in it, and then add to it the warmth that surrounds the earth, then you have something like what is called the body of the Christ Spirit. Hence the beautiful word in the Gospel of John, where the Christ Jesus calls himself the Spirit of the earth: "He who eats my bread tramples me under foot", (B044, 1.4.1907). The presence of the Christ in the earth prevents the detachment of the human etheric bodies from the earth. Since the Christ has connected himself with the earth, since his death on the cross and his resurrection, every person who really seeks the Christ, wants to follow him, wants to connect with him, can work on his own self, on his self-consciousness and thus find his way to the Christ. In this way, Jesus Christ has shown us how an ego person lives on earth. Overcoming himself, voluntarily taking the sins of his fellow human beings out of himself, voluntarily bearing all the sufferings we have inflicted on him.
