The Etheric Human Being

The Etheric Human Being

Building the Etheric Human Being and Applying its forces in all fields of knowledge and life

 In the Laying of the Foundation Stone of the Michaelic Movement, that took place in Germany in Christmas 2023, the spirit seed was formed, out of which grow the Etheric Human Being and the new community of the school of Michael.

Who is this new human being, the Etheric Human, that we become in this time?

The Etheric Human Being

1 The seed of the human being of the 6th cultural epoch, with germinating spirit self above and etheric body bellow.

2 The resurrected, spiritualized being of future humanity and heavenly Jerusalem (Jupiter), illuminated by the being of Anthroposophia.

3 The Christed answer to the etheric Jehovah man, formed in the etheric world in the moon sphere before incarnation.

4 The birth moment of the etheric ‘Jupiter man’ was in the laying of the Foundation Stone of the Michaelic Movement in Christmas 2023.

Ephesus and Today

In the lecture of 22 April 1924 (GA 233a) Rudolf Steiner described the formation process of the cosmic etheric human being, in the moon sphere, before birth, as it was experienced in the Mystery of Ephesus. Today, we face the etheric Christ on the sun becoming earth, as the new etheric human beings, and we respond to the call from Ephesus, resounding before the Mystery of Golgotha, with the forces of the new Earthly-Human Sun, resounding after the second Mystery of Golgotha.

 As the pupils of Ephesus faced JehOvA, when they experienced the cosmic etheric human being in the moon sphere, before birth, today we face the etheric Christ, the divine earthly-human Being, on the earthly-human Sun, and embody him in spirit, soul and body, through the threefold being of the human-being Anthroposophia.

 ‘He knew that this J O A activated his ego, his astral body, and A (the approach of the light-ether body), joining in J O A. Then, with the J O A vibrating in him, he felt himself to be composed of ego, astral body and etheric body.

And then it seemed as though he heard sounding up to him from the Earth — for he had been transported into the cosmos — something that saturated the J O A: eh v. JehOvA What rose up to him in the eh v were the Earth forces.

Now he realized that in this JehOvA he felt the complete human being. The premonition of the physical body, which he acquired only on Earth, he felt intimated in the consonants complementing the vowels that in the J O A indicate the ego, the astral and the etheric body. — This becoming one with the JehOvA was what enabled the disciple of Ephesus to sense in their full significance the last steps of the descent from the spiritual world.

But in feeling the import of this J O A the neophyte at the same time felt himself to be the sound J O A in the light.

Then he was a human being: resonant ego, resonant astral body, in a shimmering light-ether body. He was sound in light. That is the nature of cosmic man’.

And this is our answer today: 

 ‘Now he is a human being: resonant ego, resonant astral body, embodied in radiant etheric and physical bodies. He is etheric life, sound, light and warmth, embodied in etherized air, water and minerals. This is the nature of earthly-human Sun man’.
