The Fifth Gospel: From Akashic Record – Rudolf Steiner

From Akashic Record

Through his intuitive reading of the Akashic Record – the living
memory of Earth and cosmos – Rudolf Steiner described
dimensions of the life of Jesus Christ that extend beyond the four
canonical Gospels. After years of inner struggle and rigorous selfexamination,
Steiner began presenting these insights publicly in
1913. He spoke with great care and restraint, fully aware of the
responsibility involved, yet convinced that such knowledge was
necessary for a new, conscious understanding of Christ.
In this series of deeply moving lectures, given in Oslo and five
German cities, Steiner unfolds a coherent picture of Jesus’s earthly
mission. He describes the existence of two Jesus children, the
transfer of the Zarathustra-I, Jesus’s experience of the Essene
community, and the profound inner suffering that prepared the way
for the Baptism in the Jordan. Central moments – including the
temptations in the desert, the sorrow over the decline of ancient
Mystery paths, Jesus’s conversations with Mary, and the gradual
union of the Christ-Being with the sheaths of Jesus of Nazareth –
appear as stages in a cosmic drama of sacrifice and love. The Mystery
of Golgotha emerges as the decisive turning point of Earth
evolution: not merely an historical event, but the birth of a new
cosmic impulse through which Christ united with the Earth.
This complete edition – the first to feature all eighteen lectures on
the subject – includes an introduction by Tom Ravetz.
