The Three Meetings

‘How can our souls unite with the etheric Christ, experienced inthe etheric world since the end of the last century? What stepsshould we take, in the second century of the age of Michael, tounite with Him?’At the centre of humanity’s evolu4on stands the Mystery ofGolgotha, through which the Christ impulse entered the earth.Anthroposophy, said Rudolf Steiner, was given at the beginning ofthe last century to prepare for the second major Christ event –the etheric Second Coming – beginning in 1933. This Event is theportal that leads to the mighty and transforma4ve happeningstaking place in the etheric world right now, enabling us to meetthe etheric Christ, Michael and Anthroposophia.At the heart of this book is an existen4al ques4on. Early in hisanthroposophical work, Ben-Aharon came to realize that withoutthe light of spiritual science, the mee4ng with the etheric Christremained simply a personal experience. Likewise, without thenew life forces streaming from the etheric Christ, anthroposophywas merely a body of knowledge, frozen in 4me. Both neededeach other. But how was that mutually-enlivening bridge to bebuilt? Speaking candidly of his personal spiritual path and innerstruggles of consciousness, Ben-Aharon tackles this fundamentaldilemma as a prelude to the forthcoming, second edi4on of hisbook The New Experience of the Supersensible.Contents include: The Ur-Phenomena of the Modern ChristExperience, Paul’s Christ Experience and the Birth of Chris4anPlatonism; The Michaelic Yoga; The Platonic-Aristotelian EssenceExchange at the End of the Twen4eth Century; The Mee4ng withthe Etheric Christ; The Abyss and the Event of the Threshold; TheKnowledge Drama of the Second Coming; The Mee4ng withMichael; The Mee4ng with Anthroposophia.
