Though Steiner was born with clairvoyant capacities, it was not
until his fortieth year that he could link his inner experiences
with the principal figure of Western spirituality, Jesus Christ.
After that "solemn festival of knowledge", as he describes it in
his autobiography, Steiner received ceaseless revelations about the
significance and detailed course of the Christ's incarnation. In
lecture cycles spanning two decades, he spoke of the hidden
background to all four gospels, the Book of Revelations, and even
the "Fifth Gospel" of events that he read directly from the
spiritual worlds.
This lecture cycle presents the most accessible and illuminating
of Steiner's revelations with regard to Christ, and his
significance for humanity's spiritual development. He discusses the
link between Buddha and the life of Christ, a description that
unites Buddhism and Christianity, not in theory but in perceived
spiritual deeds of these two figures. Here, too, Steiner describes
the relationship of the Greek Mystery traditions to the event at
Golgotha:
"A 'sign' was to be placed before them as well, a sign now to be
enacted before the eyes of all mankind. The 'mystical death' that
had been a ceremonial act in the Mystery Temples for hundreds and
thousands of years was now to be presented on the great arena of
world-history. Everything that had taken place in the secrecy of
the Temples of Initiation was brought into the open as a single
event on Golgotha".
Utilizing a historical overview, revealing the relationship
between the great religious traditions, and how they have conspired
together for the good of humanity, Steiner never loses sight of the
Gospel's great inner meaning, as echoed in theGospel of St. Luke:
"The revelation of the spiritual worlds from the Heights and its
answering reflection from the hearts of men brings peace to all
whose purpose upon the evolving Earth is to unfold good will".
