We are still in the aura of the anniversary of Rudolf Steiner’s Birthday. Today I am contemplating the Baptism of the sickly child, who was named Rudolfus Josephus Laurentius Steiner, born shortly before midnight 2 days earlier in the tiny village of Kraljevic (now part of Yugoslavia). We can imagine his worried parents carrying their first born son 2 miles thru the bitter February snow to Dražovce, a neighboring village, for an emergency Baptism!
It is a deep affirmation that the Church, built on a lofty hill surrounded by a wide bend of the Nitra River which received them, was called: ‘The Church of the Archangel Michael’ – No mere coincidence considering Steiner’s connection thru many lives with the mighty Sun-Being Michael, who holds the Countenance of Christ – This is a destiny moment - achieved thru a severe life or death test. A few years ago, we did an international online celebration for 3 days living into Steiner’s Birth & Baptism. A 3-day vigil is a Universal concept observed thru the Seasonal cycles, or leading up to the various Planetary alignments - or a Wake for the dead. There is something very compelling in exploring the date of 27 February 1861 as the Birth date of Rudolf Steiner - which is what his Geburtsurkunde says. And I was surprised to see, is the date listed on the Goetheanum web site. In looking at 27 February thru the lens of the Calendar of the Soul, taking into consideration the Birth & Death days on this date in history, we receive deeply profound insights:
27 February is the Death-Day in 277 of Mani – the Highest Initiate – AND the Death-Day of Comte de St. Germain in the German town, Eckernförde, 1784.
It is also the Death-Day of Otto Hausner, whom Steiner often spoke about. There are especially enlightening insights about him as an Irish Initiate revealed in his Karmic Relationships II, GA 236, Lecture I, 6 April 1924, Dornach & again later in his Autobiography:
And the last interesting historic connection I will bring in today is from 1933 - the Reichstag Fire in Berlin “…precisely four weeks after Adolf Hitler was sworn in as Chancellor of Germany. Hitler used the incident as a pretext to claim that Communists were plotting against the German government. This false claim induced President Paul von Hindenburg to issue the Reichstag Fire Decree suspending civil liberties, to "pursue a ruthless confrontation" with the Communists. This made the Reichstag Fire pivotal in the establishment of Nazi Germany.”
So here we see how a great darkness often accompanies great spiritual Light – for me the epitome of this example is out-pictured in Herod’s ‘slaughter of the innocents’ in reaction to the birth of the light.
So it makes sense to see the birth of Rudolf Steiner as a 3 day event - Like the 3 days of Good Friday, Holy Saturday & Easter Sunday, or the 3 days around the Dark Moon evanesced in the Underworld, before the sighting of the New Moon, or the building & disseminating forces around the Full Moon-tides…
