‘How can our souls unite with the etheric Christ, experienced in
the etheric world since the end of the last century? What steps
should we take, in the second century of the age of Michael, to
unite with Him?’
At the centre of humanity’s evolu4on stands the Mystery of
Golgotha, through which the Christ impulse entered the earth.
Anthroposophy, said Rudolf Steiner, was given at the beginning of
the last century to prepare for the second major Christ event –
the etheric Second Coming – beginning in 1933. This Event is the
portal that leads to the mighty and transforma4ve happenings
taking place in the etheric world right now, enabling us to meet
the etheric Christ, Michael and Anthroposophia.
At the heart of this book is an existen4al ques4on. Early in his
anthroposophical work, Ben-Aharon came to realize that without
the light of spiritual science, the mee4ng with the etheric Christ
remained simply a personal experience. Likewise, without the
new life forces streaming from the etheric Christ, anthroposophy
was merely a body of knowledge, frozen in 4me. Both needed
each other. But how was that mutually-enlivening bridge to be
built? Speaking candidly of his personal spiritual path and inner
struggles of consciousness, Ben-Aharon tackles this fundamental
dilemma as a prelude to the forthcoming, second edi4on of his
book The New Experience of the Supersensible.
