"As a general rule, wherever one finds alchemy in the West upon a
Christian basis, the true Rose Cross is not distant. From this
point of view, Rudolf Steiner's anthroposophy, to the extent that
it is Rosicrucian, is alchemical.... Alchemy, in this sense, is ...
the 'resurrection' of matter." - Christopher Bamford During the
early seventeenth century, Europe was suddenly embroiled in
controversy after the publication of the first Rosicrucian texts.
Ever since, Rosicrucianism has been at the center of Western
Christian esotericism. Forced underground by the Thirty Years War,
it was secretly handed down by alchemists, hermeticists, and Masons
to the nineteenth century, when it inspired new spiritual movements
such as Theosophy, the Order of Golden Dawn, and Rudolf Steiner's
spiritual science. The Secret Stream collects all of Steiner's
discussions of the Rosicrucians, answering questions such as Who
are the Rosicrucians? What is Alchemy? What is the Rosicrucian
path? What is the difference between Rosicrucianism and mysticism?
And what does it mean for today? The topics include the Tao and the
Rose Cross; the history and mission of Christian Rosenkreutz; the
nature of Rosicrucian practice and experience; the meaning of The
Chymical Wedding, and Goethe's Rosicrucian poem "The Mysteries."
Rosicrucian meditation is also discussed, including how to meditate
on the Rose Cross itself. This important collection goes to the
spiritual heart of anthroposophy, the essence of which is the
Rosicrucian path. Edited and introduced by Christopher Bamford, The
Secret Stream brings to light the hidden fraternity that has lived
and worked since the fourtheenth century. It reveals the
Rosicrucian path thatis Christian, alchemical, and profoundly
modern.
