"Occult events that took place between the Christ and the community
of his disciples form a significant part not only of the four
Gospels but also of the Christ Mystery or Golgotha Mystery itself.
Today, many human souls are still moved by this apostolic
community, by how the disciples accompanied Christ Jesus, by their
place in history (as an esoteric circle charged with an exoteric
task), by their failures, and by the great new dawn that showed
them the way after Pentecost...For three years, they were close to
Christ, shared his life, and received a great deal of instruction
from him, often in their own intimate circle away from public view.
They were there when Christ performed healings and even when he
prayed.... "Rudolf Steiner once said that we in the twentieth and
twenty-first centuries must live with the 'etheric Christ' in the
Earth's aura in the same way that 'the disciples once lived with
Christ Jesus on the physical plane.' If this is so, it is essential
for us to focus on the community of Christ's disciples. Rudolf
Steiner himself made major contributions to illuminating the depths
of the disciples' relationship and life with the Christ, both
during the three years of his earthly life and after the
Resurrection. An essential element of Steiner's life work was to
apply 'anthroposophically oriented cognition' to events of the
beginning of the Christian era in order to 'bring the Gospels'
deeper content to the light of day.' He spoke in detail about the
Christ's community of disciples in many lecture cycles, and, in his
lectures on the Fifth Gospel, he shed light on this community from
the perspective of the processes of human consciousness that were
intimately involved in events at the beginning of the new era and
inscribed in the chronicle of evolution.... "In his lectures on the
Fifth Gospel and elsewhere, Rudolf Steiner opened up many
perspectives that help us understand what took place between Christ
and his disciples. This book's purpose is to make those
perspectives available and accessible. Although all of Steiner's
statements have been published, they are widely scattered among his
lectures and remain unknown to many individuals deeply committed to
the community of Christ's disciples and to anthroposophical
Christology. In view of the challenges to consciousness we face in
modern times-including those that deal with Christianity and the
Christ Event itself-it seems urgently important to present details
of the positive and often illuminating results of Rudolf Steiner's
research." As is true of other works by Peter Selg, Christ and the
Disciples is one of those books that sharpens the reader's mind to
cut through the myriad of representation (and misrepresentations)
of Rudolf Steiner's teachings, clarifying many otherwise-knotty
issues.
