The Twilight and Resurrection of Humanity
The history of the Michaelic Movement since the death of Rudolf Steiner
An Esoteric Study
Forthcoming in Temple Lodge, May 2020
From the Cover
This unique work – the fruit of many decades’ research and experience – throws new light on the supersensible history and karma of the Michaelic movement since Rudolf Steiner’s death. It describes that movement’s evolution and transformation in the etheric world during the twentieth century – from the world-changing apocalypse of the 1930s and 40s through to the beginning of its incarnation on Earth at the end of last century. The book also focuses on developments in the practical and social work of building the community of the School of Spiritual Science that embodies the new Michaelic movement in our time.
As Ben-Aharon indicates, the Michaelic movement is searching for creative, courageous and enthusiastic souls to build a strong and growing community that develops, from one decade to the next, as a living organism. Based on the continuous resurrection of anthroposophy, this community strives to create a fully conscious meeting and communication with the school of Michael and Christ in the etheric world, in a form that is appropriate and demanded by the times. The transcripts of these lectures bring together the author’s experiences with anthroposophy over the last 42 years in the light of present communications from the spiritual world. It is based on contemporary spiritual investigation and individual, lived experience.
