The Laying of the Renewed Foundation Stone of the Michaelic movement in the 21st Century

The Christmas Foundation Conference Impulse was utterly transformed through the Spiritual Event of the 20th Century in the etheric world, inspiring the laying of the renewed foundation stone in Christmas 2023

The Laying of the Renewed Foundation Stone of the Michaelic movement in the 21st Century

The Laying of the Renewed Foundation Stone of the Michaelic movement in the 21st century, took place in Christmas 2023. It was possible only because we could perceive since the end of last century, the great metamorposhis that the Christmas Foundation Conference Impulse went through in the etheric world since the Spiritual Event of the 20th Century. In the course of 3x33 years it was utterly transformed, and its transformed Being inspired the laying of the renewed foundation stone in Christmas 2023.

 In the Global School of Spiritual Science we prepared this event through 2023 as described in the 11 lectures deliverd to the school, publised in German in Die Grundsteinlegung der Michael-Bewegung im 21. Jahrhundert, forthcoming in English in the Fall.

From the Seventh Lecture, 30 September, 2023

Anthroposophia went through Heaven and Hell in the Spiritual Event of the Twentieth Century

This is, therefore, the question that we must contemplate

with all seriousness this Michaelmas and in all the coming years: do we

really want, with all the best forces of our hearts, to be informed about

its continued evolution and metamorphosis, or not? Because three times

thirty-three years after any spiritual Event, its eternal essence can either

be resurrected and consciously carried forward, as I show in The Time

is at Hand!, or be finally buried in the grave of civilization. The spiri-

tual Event of the centenary that we are going to celebrate at Christmas

2023 must contain the essence of what has happened to this Impulse

in the etheric world in the last hundred years. This is what we are going to celebrate, to

actualize, to demonstrate on Earth; this is what this Impulse wishes

to become now. But we have to become this Impulse, this Being, this

transformation if we are to actualize it on Earth today, tomorrow, and

after tomorrow. This is the true meaning of the Event of the centenary.

This is our task, to take what we have done with the first Goetheanum

and with the Christmas Foundation Conference, and take it through the

Spiritual Event of the twentieth century and the Spiritual Event of the

present time. Update it today and implement its new essence, because it

has evolved new substance, form and function, and its century-old call,

Menschen mögen es hören! has not yet been answered.

Let us, dear school friends, take up these questions very seriously:

First, what really happened in the Christmas Foundation Conference?

Second, what really happened to it from 1925 until today in the etheric

world?

Third, how should we actualize its new Being in Christmas 2023?

If we bring the answers to these questions with us to Forum 3 at Christmas,

each one of us will bring not a memory corpse of the living Event that took

place a hundred years ago, but that continuously evolving and transforming

Foundation Stone that went through the fire initiation of evil of the twentieth

 century, was burned to spiritual ashes, and was reborn in living !re through

the newChrist Impulse. This will allow us to answer and respond creatively to

the third question, and actualize our response on Earth.

Let us be timely for a change! Let us perceive now what is going on

now in the etheric world that weaves and pulses in our etheric hearts;

perceive what has been happening in the etherir world throughout

the last century, and how it strives to be actualized on Earth today and tomorrow.

I believe that if we are humble and courageous enough, we can actu-

ally begin to stand up and walk spiritually as free humans, even while

falling naturally all the time; we can learn to speak, while spiritually

stammering, and every now and then even think some reasonable spir-

itual thoughts. This must happen in the middle of the middle, second,

crucial century of the Age of Michael, if we are to prepare for the pre-

parers of what must come at the end of the century, the major second

Michaelic Impulse.

Now, because it must be accomplished if humanity is to survive at all,

the mortals receive the most graceful divine support that humans have

ever been granted in our entire evolution: the new Christ Impulse,

perceived and actualized since the end of last century, that also enables

us to receive the gift of Anthroposophia, given by Michael, resurrected

after a century from the grave of civilization. We must be very humble,

and have the courage to become this divine grace; we must really believe

 in this becoming because we must actualize it. If we grow towards it, the

highest forces and Beings of the spiritual world ever connected to the

evolution of humanity are with us, right here and now, urgently expecting

humans to rise to meet them. Let us have the humility and courage to take

 this step, even if we often may feel small and inadequate. In our time,

mortals must do immortal things: this is the whole meaning of the new Michaelic Mysteries.
