"Only in our time has it become possible once again to unlock the
sources of Rosicrucian wisdom and allow them to flow into the whole
of culture... Christian Rosenkreutz has always lived among us and
he is with us today too as the guide of spiritual life.... "The
spiritual stream related to Christian Rosenkreutz offers the most
potent assistance to those who strive to understand the Christ
impulse." -Rudolf Steiner Rudolf Steiner spoke often of the
relationship of Anthroposophy or Spiritual Science to
Rosicrucianism, but he spoke less of the being of Christian
Rosenkreutz himself. As he said, "To speak of Christian Rosenkreutz
presumes a profound trust in the mysteries of the life of the
spirit-a trust or faith not in the person of Christian Rosenkreutz,
but in the mysteries of spiritual life." For Steiner, Christian
Rosenkreutz was active in at least three ways. First, as one of the
"great leaders of humanity," he worked to bring esoteric
spirituality into the modern world and to lead it into the future.
Second, as "the greatest teacher of Christianity" he worked to
bring to humanity true "heart knowledge" of Christ through the
continued unveiling of the Mystery of Golgotha in the etheric.
Third, as a concrete, particular individual being, Steiner had a
living, actual, personal relationship with him. As such, because of
our failure to understand, Steiner called him "a noble
martyr...who, through his way of working, endured, and will in
future endure, more than any other person. I say 'person, ' for the
suffering of Christ was the suffering of a god." In the first part
of this inspiring book-a work of devotion both to Rudolf Steiner
and to Christian Rosenkreutz-Peter Selg, as "The Great Servant of
Christ Jesus," gives a detailed, chronological, and fascinating
account of Steiner's portrayal and, as much as possible,
experiences of Christian Rosenkreutz. He shows how Steiner had
essentially two teachers: the Master Jesus (Zoroaster) and
Christian Rosenkreutz. Moreover, Selg shows how these two, with
Rudolf Steiner, unfolded spiritual science for our time. In the
second part, he shows how all this culminates, astonishingly and
miraculously, in the Michael School as it manifested in the First
Class. Rudolf Steiner and Christian Rosenkreutz concludes with an
appendix containing the text of the original (1614) Fama, or
"Announcement of the Rosicrucian Brotherhood." Anyone interested in
the esoteric foundations of Anthroposophy or in the true meaning of
Rosicrucianism will be find this book of great value.
