'''Schema FMC00.430''' is a drawing made by Rudolf Steiner, recorded by Mathilde Scholl in a private conversation where she asked Rudolf Steiner how the aftereffects of an important [[Personality and Individuality|Individuality]] such as the apostle Paul were related to the effects of the [[Earth's inner layers|Earth's inner layer]] called the 'shatterer'. See also Schema FMC00.004 on [[Earth's inner layers]]. More comments under the 1905-08-13-GA091 and Note [2] in the Discussion area.
An example of what is depicted here is the adept of the [[White Lodge]] known as Sig and also known as [[Wotan Impulse|Wotan]] or Siegfried. See 1904-10-21-GA092 and the two 1905-GA090B lectures on [[Germanic mythology|German mythology]]. +

a Schema by DL, who made this up - some inspiration for meditation.
''What was there before our solar system, as described in spiritual science? What happened before Old Saturn? Why do we start there, with what is described?''
Imagine the divinity as [[The three Logoi]], it has as its intrinsic nature that <u>it wants to know itself</u>, and it is characterized by <u>a [[cosmic breathing]] pulse</u>. Through this breathing, the [[logoic principle]] gives rise, in consecutive cycles, to a new combination of [[Three dimensions of evolution|consciousness, life and form]], which is called a [[Spiritual Hierarchies|spiritual hierarchy]]. The Seraphim are still closely tied to the nature of the third logos (L3), then follow Cherubim and Thrones.
The triad is characterized by a threefoldedness in how the natures of the three hierarchies interrelate (between themselves), and relate to the three logoi: consciousness, a rhythmic life pulse, and an extension which gives it form. In following cycles <u>a ladder is led down of such triads</u> (see upper left of the drawing) thereby extending a ladder of currently [[Twelve Conditions of Consciousness]]. In each cycle, an additional hierarchy is added below in an extension of complexity of the [[Cosmic fractal|Cosmic Fractal.]]
This can be mapped to the start of our [[Overview of solar system evolution|current solar system evolution]] (lower right) starting with the Thrones sacrificing and the angels being the last hierarchy, and we find back the stages of [[Old Saturn]], [[Old Sun]], [[Old Moon]]. See Schema FMC00.077 and variants. A 'linking pin' chain element closely ties the lowest hierarchy of triad N and the highest of the next triad N+1.
The drawing is only a high level sketch of a complex multi-dimensional dynamic. Below the horizontal line, the future is developing. Within our solar system 'cycle' of the spiral, one could say the horizontal line on the lower right corresponds to the CoC=4 'human stage' type of consciousness, but one can also imagine that the nature or complexity of the condition of consciousness shifts with each spiral arm, so it jumps with steps of 4.
Compare the three triad blocks on the lower right corner for Old Moon stage, to the same block on Schema FMC00.077B.
Extending the horizontal line on the lower right, one sees that Earth and Future Jupiter are two intermediate stages that reach a sort of cycle conclusion stage on [[Future Venus]] - see also [[:File:FMC00.022.jpg|Schema FMC00.022]] on that page. This is maybe also why Rudolf Steiner says that no human mind or language can today imagine Vulcan, and hence why it is not talked about: creation and the state of consciousness is beyond what we can take in scope for grasping with current intellectual thought and [[Waking Consciousness|waking consciousness]].
The spiral and ladder of consciousness is not fixed or stable, but very relative, as one can look at it in many ways. For example in the next three planetary stages, humanity will be in the roles represented by the colour green on Schemas FMC00.077 A and B. After that comes a graduation to become creator at a higher level, emanating substance through sacrifice; to get an idea: like the Thrones gave rise to the Archai on Old Saturn. See again Schemas FMC00.077 A and B - this schema does not show this (but it could be depicted in a future grid version).
bundles illustrations from various lectures where Rudolf Steiner uses the 'onions sheaths' depiction of [[Man's bodily principles]] to illustrate - in different contexts - how consciousness relates to the lower bodily sheaths.
For this type of presentation, see also Schema FMC00.575, Schema FMC00.356; and similarly for the development of the lower bodies themselves before, Schema FMC00.574. +
connects the conceptual picture of Schema FMC00.067A to the planetary stages of evolution.
For 'divine impulse', see Schema FMC00.185 and Schema FMC00.190. Compare also with Schema FMC00.400 on [[Cosmic breath of Brahma]] +
connects the process between death and a new birth, before and after the [[midnight hour]], to the mother and the father. The organization of the [[Human astral body|astral body]] draws one to the mother, the [[Human 'I'|'I']] to the father, and the two poles of the human being then meet through mother and father.
For a visualization see also Schema FMC00.593 and Schema FMC00.321. For the process between fertilization and birth, see also Schema FMC00.331 on [[Embryo in the womb]]. +
depicts several BBD drawings of the [[Holy Supper symbolism - bread and wine#Monstrance|monstrance]] or sanctissimum (or 'sanctum sanctorum') as symbol of the transubstantiation: the shining, like a small Sun, in the sanctissimum wherein the host is carried on a crescent cup.
The monstrance represents the Sun and the Moon, and the symbol shows the sun (the Christ, the spirit) gains victory over the moon (the physical, as the influences that gave human beings their physical form come from the moon) through the Mystery of Golgotha.
What is currently merely an empty symbol, was once a reality in the (semi-)ancient mysteries. The priest initiate experienced how preserved fermenting substances in sacred crystalline vessels became transformed in such a way that he saw a small sun or a small natural monstrance in the crystalline vessel, as the substances spread sunshine around them. The priest saw how the substances and forces shone in the sacred crystalline vessels, and knew how the transubstantiation occurred. (1924-09-05-GA346 - see [[Greek mysteries#1924-09-05-GA346]]).
Today the sanctissimum in the Mass shows the rays of the Sun, but the connection of the Christ with the Sun and the reality behind the symbol have been totally lost. (1924-07-11-GA237)
Compare with the symbol of new moon at Easter and [[:File:FMC00.116.jpg|Schema FMC00.116]] on [[Holy Grail]] : the spiritual sun Christ (host) shines in the 'crescent cup'. The GA343A lecture uses this description of sunlight and moonlight (see also 1908-05-20-GA103).
Also (not as a symbol but conceptually): on [[:File:FMC00.468.jpg|Schema FMC00.468]] on [[Christ Module 5 - Initiation and spiritualization]] .. the physical holder or cup is [[Man's bodily principles|Man's lower bodily structure]], and the Christ Impulse fructifies this and so through "not me, but the Christ in me" .. Mankind and future Earth become a Sun. More on this 'starting to shine' on [[Christ Module 7 - Cosmic dimension]] +
depicts the 'starry configuration' of the human being during death and rebirth, as belonging to a group of many angels and archangels, that are overlapping but still (slightly) different for each soul. The text on the left was shortened without contents change (SWCC) from 1918-03-26-GA181. On the lower right a similar visualization from the description in 1917-01-22-GA174.
Above this two schemas to illustrate what is described, that Man is still in the process of individuation, and separation during incarnate life is through the [[Human physical body|physical body]], but human beings are still connected at the level of the granular [[group souls of humanity]] (see green dotted rectangle) that can be imagined as being in the process of crumbling down into smaller fragments.
The lecture provides the underlying explanation for the bridge between the living and deceased souls, see also [[Interaction with deceased souls]]. +
gives a tabular synthesis showing the development of the [[Spectrum of elements and ethers]] and the development of our current [[Four kingdoms of nature]] as well as Man's developing [[Twelve Conditions of Consciousness|Condition of Consciousness]], see also Schema [[FMC00.583]] on [[Man and nature's kingdoms in evolution]]
It shows how the plant and animal kingdoms evolved from the [[Overview of solar system evolution|planetary stages of evolution]]: part of the development lagged behind and was not able to develop the next [[Man's bodily principles|structural bodily principles]], such as the astral on [[Old Moon]], and the I on Earth. +
illustrates how the human being sheds off his lower bodies after death, and gives off the cosmos the fruits of the Earth. As a result of the incarnate life on Earth, Man contributes the [[seeds for future worlds]], that are taken up and carried by the higher hierarchies. Thoughts and feelings create fields of activity for the [[Third Hierarchy]] (H3) and Second Hierarchy (H2).
The process of death like an exhaling out into the cosmos. A new birth is like an inhaling, bringing down the spirit germ into the physical body carried by the stream of heredity (see Schema FMC00.321 and Schema FMC00.331 and on [[Embryo in the womb]]).
During incarnated life on Earth, the forces from the higher worlds keep working in the human being, see also [[The double|the double.]] +
illustrates the [[Earth]] with its inner layers or strata, and the etheric spheres or girdles beyond the atmosphere. +
illustrates the fact that humanity originally had just one phonetic language made up of sounds, or letters based on the feeling contained in speech sounds. In this universal [[alphabet]], sounds of vowels and consonants related directly to soul experience. In later developments of language this was completely lost.
The table is compiled from descriptions in lectures by Rudolf Steiner, including examples, and is illustrative and not meant to be complete.
Also in the context of [[interaction with deceased souls]], Rudolf Steiner speaks of this heart-language of the deceased, not based on abstract meaning of words, but of feeling content and meaning that issues from the sounds themselves.
See also the air flow forms produced by the sounds of vocals and syllables, see [[Speech#Visible speech - vocal flow forms]] +
illustrates the great cosmic principle also described by [[IAO]] or the ourboros (Schema FMC00.328), the principle of 'the highest divinity who wants to know itself' as the ultimate underlying principle of creation, the cosmos, or the [[cosmic fractal]].
At the core and heart is the ultimate property of the highest divinity, acting out of selfless devotion to the world out of love as an act of freedom (1903-11-16-GA090A).
What this means is further covered in [[spiritual science]] by the study of [[evolution]], and a pathway of development for spiritual beings reaching I-consciousness and evolving along a ladder of [[Twelve Conditions of Consciousness|twelve conditions of consciousness]], as depicted on Schema FMC00.329. +
is a (temporary draft) notebook drawing for a Schema called 'Durchgang' to [[Maximilian Rebholz]]’ essay ‘Der Durchgang der Weltgedanken durch den Menschen‘ (1946-47). The drawing represents the scope and flow covered in this essay.
How Man on Earth was brought forth as a result of cosmic world thoughts, that chrystallized down with Earth from etheric points in the first half of the Earth planetary stage of evolution. How the human being carries, in its I-consciousness and faculties of [[Thinking Feeling Willing|Thinking, Feeling and Willing]] the [[seeds for future worlds]].
How the [[cosmic breathing]] process of in- and out- breathing takes place, with in the middle the pralaya, see [[Occult atom|Occult Atom]]. How the old is dying, as the result of what has been generated by the out-breath. How the Christ Impulse gave the injection of the new for a spiritual future as the old was and is dying. How Christ as [[Second Adam]] is the future group soul that will be the essence or seed that will carry over to form the basis for what is to come, in the next planetary stage of evolution [[Future Jupiter]].
How what Man is contributing is part of what is ‘breathed in’ by the hierarchies, see also [[:File:FMC00.593.jpg|Schema FMC00.593]].
So the essay centers on the Earth stage and positions Man as to where he came from, and what will be his future. +
is a drawing by Valentin Tomberg, part of lectures hed in 1939 in Rotterdam, published by Willi Seiss in the booklet 'The four sacrifices of Christ and the appearance of Christ in the etheric'. It is shared here because Tomberg uses the same visualization of [[:File:FMC00.591A.jpg|Schema FMC00.591A]], and because of the merit of the idea presented with the drawing on the right.
On the right, Tomberg uses this presentation to couple karmic presentience (see [[:File:FMC00.081.jpg|Schema FMC00.081]]) and knowledge of previous lives (see [[Past life memories]]). Both are faculties of the 'new clairvoyance' referenced by and linked to '[[Christ in the etheric]]'. Tomberg points out that in the future, the soul will naturally connect insight of 'guilt in the past' to presentience of 'karmic impact of future deeds', thus allowing for restoration of karmic balance.
On the left, as a legend for the drawing on the right (interpretation added by editor to be compatible with FMC wiki nomenclature and Rudolf Steiner's teachings): the lower 'I' is the consciousness of the senses and the physical world (and the [[Human astral body|lower astral body]]); the higher 'I' is [[Man's higher triad]], the spiritual future of Man constituted by the life-spirit (or budhi) and spirit-man(or atma) parts of the [[monad]]. In the middle would then be the [[Human character - the I and threefold soul|consciousness soul]] and spirit self (manas) 'bridge' between the lower incarnate life and the future spiritual life of mankind. The 'I am' and conscience labels to this drawing are misleading (as is often the case with secondary sources), as conscience should not be coupled only and directly to the higher 'I', and the 'I am' and pure spiritual [[love]] certainly is the higher self (re budhi [[:File:FMC00.481.jpg|Schema FMC00.481]]). Rather, these higher spiritual faculties 'ripple through' to the lower principles of the spirit self and consciousness soul (for principle, see also below on [[:File:FMC00.431.jpg|Schema FMC00.431]] and the corresponding lecture(s)).
is an alternative presentation of Schema FMC00.377 showing various steps for the coordinated guidance of the [[development of the I]], with the [[Three pre-MoG interventions of Christ|three pre-MoG interventions of the Christ]], the preparatory working of the [[Krishna impulse]] and [[the being of Elijah]], and the great enactment by Christ-Jesus and John the Baptist where the Adam sister soul worked as part of Christ-Jesus' structure and also 'from outside'.
The same colour code mapping is used for the green and blue streams as in Schema FMC00.377. The dark green box connecting John the Baptist and Nathan Jesus refers to 1912-09-19-GA139 and Schema FMC00.381.

is the first picture of a gallery with a selection of about 100 souls that incarnated as part of the wave of spiritual science centered around Rudolf Steiner as a teacher; many of which are known to be important [[Personality and Individuality|Individualities]]. See more on [[The Michaelic stream]].
This first gallery has 24 people. +
offers a visualization of the process that humanity goes through, from the [[group souls of humanity]], over individuation, to the future spiritualization into future group souls based on [[moral ideals]].
The small insert on the lower left references that this is part of a universal process whereby the logos goes from one universal divinity to many, see also the theosophical 'mahat' concept on the [[IAO]] topic page.
Underlined terms reference FMC wiki topic pages. The metaphoric imagery consists of, upper left, a cake crumbling from monolithic to ever smaller pieces - like from ocean to droplets (to represent the spiritual hierarchies, each human being is connected to the archangelic and archai level); and on the lower right, small metallic particles in free chaotic order but organizing themselves, as attracted to magnets (the magnets are unifying soul qualities, hence [[Virtues|virtues]] and [[moral ideals]]).
The crumbling into ever smaller crumbles is ongoing, today mankind is only physically separated into separate physical bodies, but humanity is still connected to the [[Third Hierarchy]]. Through [[Man's transformation and spiritualization]] also the other bodily principles will be separated, but also unified, as separation is an attribute of the lower worlds (from the lower [[spirit world]] downwards). In the higher spirit world, the principle of buddhi or Christos or selfless [[love]] (see [[:File:FMC00.481.jpg|Schema FMC00.481]]) is a vantage convergence point also called the [[Second Adam]].
The idea of this schema is not to take it literally, but to imagine it at a higher level in one's mind and soul. +
positions existing sources of spiritual science in terms of written knowledge, as originating in various knowledge streams from different cultural ages and cultures. It shows how traditions originate from the time before [[Alphabet|alphabets]] or written language, furthermore mostly such sacred wisdom was conveyed with oral traditions. Hence the Eastern Indian scriptures are reflections of ancient traditions going back millenia before.
The goal of this Schema is to position important works in spiritual science, such as Bhagavad Gita, [[Book of Genesis]], Sepher Yetzirah, Pistis Sophia, [[Book of Revelation]], the [[gospels]], etc. .. whereby the distinction needs to be made between the time when these were written down, versus the ancient wisdom stream that they reflect. Contemporary spiritual science in the current cultural age - as in theosophy and anthroposophy - offers an integrative framework for our contemporary language and consciousness, that shows how all these teachings, including [[Ancient history of myths and legends|ancients myths]] and traditions from the various cultures and ages, are all about the same knowledge.
Note the table focuses on spiritual scientific knowledge streams and existing written works. It does not include initiation knowledge from the ancient mysteries, nor the oldest of sources that originate from before the [[Current Postatlantean epoch]], such as the [[Book of Dzyan]] or the [[Book of Ten Pages]]. +
provides a conceptual infographic of the logoic principle. The traditional theosophical schema on the left is explained and drawn differently on the right.
The fruits of a previous evolutionary period are in-breathed back in the Logos at pralaya, and represent the seed of the next out-breathing, where it will be blended with the available soil made up of the available cosmic dust. When 'ready' at the middle of a cycle, there is a divine intervention that fructifies it with a higher consciousness.
Like a car jack, this way the logoic principle moves up creation by one level along the CoC-ladder of Conditions of Consciousness, and an extension is woven onto creation, which thereby expands in ever more complex and sophisticated forms of self-consciousness. +
