| Where to start, when one wants to get an understanding of the Mystery of Golgotha.
| |
|
| |
|
| Rudolf Steiner touched on it in - literally - many hundreds of lectures. There are so many angles to shedding light on this, that it becomes intimidating trying to lecture or cover the topic.
| | '''Study volumes for spiritual science''' |
| Here's just a first grab of some full cycles:
| | ----------------------------------- |
| * GA97 - 1906-7 - The Chrystian Mystery
| |
| * GA116 - 1909-10 - Christ Impulse and the development of ego consciousness
| |
| * GA131 of 1911 - From Jesus to Christ
| |
| * GA152 in 1913-14 - Approaching the Mystery of Golgotha
| |
| * GA 175 in 1917 - Building stones for an understanding of the MoG
| |
| * GA187 - 1918-12 - How Can Humanity Find the Christ Again?
| |
|
| |
|
| Because we need to start somewhere as a first step in our intended comprehensive approach, we choose two key lectures as the best introduction to the Mystery of Golgotha (MoG).
| |
| Below is an overview chart of the 1906-12-02-GA097 that we propose as a logical mindmap to structure our approach.
| |
| The second lecture of 1907-04-01-GA096 (which was preceeded by a preparatory lecture on 1907-03-25-GA096) is really a reference lecture for the MoG, and overlaps with this chart. So together these two lectures really represent an excellent starting point. <span style="background-color: rgb(153, 153, 153);" data-mce-style="background-color: #999999;">We now want to go from the raw material (lecture texts) to a more structured non-sequential approach that we can extend to a browseable</span>

|
| |
|
| Now how to proceed? First I propose you read this page which briefly describes the intended process.
| | - series with the same format, layout, nomenclature, systematic referencing |
| | - integrative (see 'Systematic Anthroposophy') |
| | - in the same spirit as 'Arbeitsmaterial zum Studium der Geisteswissenschaft Rudolf Steiners' |
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
| Quite practically the proposal is then that you read this first lecture, 'parse' its contents, and keep this chart alongside and/or (even better but not obliged) draw your own high level scheme (try to stick to one page) .. to see how it provides a picture of the various aspects covered.

| We can now segment the 'territory' covered (rather artificially but not arbitrarily) into seven topics or themes (see digits in whiteblue), with a short description in the yellow text boxes.
| |
| | |
| | |
| # – unification of humanity through brotherly love
| |
| # – what was the nature of the being that went through MoG?
| |
| # – zooming out .. evolutionary framework where MoG fits in
| |
| # – the Mystery of the Blood (special fluid, purified, etherization, link with higher ethers)
| |
| # – initiation as spiritualization and the Mystery of the Heart - the Old Mysteries (of the Spirit) and the New Mysteries (of the Son)<br />
| |
| # – the Holy Grail, Parsifal, nature’s yearly cycle in plant kingdom (subconscious nature of impulse)
| |
| # – a new beginning, a new center and Sun, change of astral atmosphere Earth
| |
| | |
| We can now go into each of these and start with a synthesis of what we learn from the two-three lectures (listed above), and then deepen our understanding by adding inputs from other lectures.
| |
| | |
| | |
| The schematic also shows on the outskirts, surrounding the lecture content .. some grey text boxes. These contain a short description with some keyword labels for some more advanced points related to each of these fields. We will connect to these if we continue and extend our study.
| |
| | |
| As we learn through the process, the interrelationships will become clearer. The goal is to 'initialize' our base understanding, so we have a foundation to build on. In the next phases we can then continuously extend the territory covered by adding perspectives to shed light on the so-many aspects of the Mystery of Golgotha and the Christ Impulse.
