Introduction
The Second Mystery of Golgotha
Second Mystery of Golgotha takes place in the etheric world and human soul, starting point and foundation of the knowledge drama of the Second Coming; Rose-cross meditation from Occult Science becomes an experience of the death Etheric Christ in the ‘black sphere of materialism’ created by our ahrimanic thinking; Christ’s death and resurrection in the human soul creates supersensible self-consciousness and individuation of His ‘I’.
Chapter 1
The Spiritualization of Thinking
Spiritualization of thinking confronts and overcomes modern ahrimanic thinking; Resurrected from the grave of the brain thinking returns to cosmic life; Separation of past and future time streams and thinking, feeling and will; Deepening of the meditative practice of Occult Science with the exercises to attain Inspiration and Intuition; Liberated being of will guides into the mysteries of birth and death, past and future life; Resurrected etheric Christ appears from the ‘dark-gloomy world abyss’ when feeling is liberated as well.
Chapter 2
The Spiritualization of Sense-Perception
In the Michaelic Yoga, the spiritualization of thinking is followed by the spiritualization of sense-perception; Oblivion stream of Lethe is the threshold of perception; New Mysteries of Hades and Persephone are revealed on the other side of this threshold; Further development of Imagination in the meditative exercises of Knowledge of the Higher Worlds; Experience of etheric Christ in the etheric world through spiritualized perception reveals the etheric ring around the sun-becoming earth; Man becomes creative partner of the Christ in the creation of the earthly-human Sun.
Chapter 3
The Preparation for the construction of the bridge
Construction of the bridge prepared by weaving the forces of spiritualized thinking and perception, that augment each other; Spiritualization of the etherization of the blood and the etheric body; Formation of spiritual memory on which the bridge of spiritual memory and continuation of consciousness is founded; Specific esoteric practice prepares the etheric and physical brains to reflect conscious supersensible experiences.
Chapter 4
The Construction of the First Etheric-Cognitive Layer of the Bridge
Builder of the bridge, the true ‘I’, actualized by the activity of spiritualized thinking; Development of two petaled lotus flower between the eyes; Merging the forces flowing between the two petaled lotus flower and the higher self in the pineal; First formation of Spirit Self; Deeper confrontation with Ahriman in his workshop in the modern brain; Construction of the first etheric-cognitive layer of the bridge from the head, through the larynx, to the heart; Battle with luciferic-ahrimanic forces in the heart and the sacrifice of the Green Snake.
Chapter 5
The Construction of Second Astral-Soul Layer of the Bridge
Second layer of the bridge is founded on the etheric and astral heart organs; Meditative praxis of Knowledge of the Higher Worlds and Occult Science enhanced by the general main exercise; Formative spiritual forces of the I AM, It thinks, She feels and He wills; Formation of sixteen, twelve, ten and six petaled lotus flowers in the larynx, heart, solar plexus and abdomen; Separated soul forces united with their cosmic archetypes create the sixfold soul-spiritual composition in the astral world; Ensuing fierce battle with the Doppelgänger; Transformation of man into a human-cosmic riddle and existential question; Meeting Christ through the higher self in the spiritual world offers cosmic-human answer; Return to etheric body recapitulates the cosmic experiences in the etheric world; Reentry into the physical body demands a decisive moral decision, facing the new force of evil emerging from below.
