WHAT DOES ANTHROPOSOPHY TEACH ?
For an overview of what is contained in Anthroposophy/Rosicrucianism, scan this index from the Vermont Sophia website. As you do, notice that down at the bottom is a link to the SEPHER YETZIRAH of the Golden Dawn. The Sepher Yetzirah is part of Jewish mystical literature.
My own personal choice for top of the heresies list is this Anthroposophical one. Suddenly in 1909 the contradiction in Scripture is resolved by this "messenger from heaven", Rudolf Steiner. Apparently God had a problem getting this one handled until Steiner came along.
Interesting that it is associated with the Grail. I wonder if Dan Brown believes in the Two Jesus Boys theory?
I am of the opinion that this main polemical question within Gospel Research has completely been resolved in the year 1909 by Rudolf Steiner, who indicated that at that time TWO boys named Jesus were born in Bethlehem.(f.9) The evangelists Matthew and Luke do not describe one and the same Nativity from two different points of view, but clearly two different Nativities altogether.
One of the births took place before Herod's death, while the other one occurred later. All apparent contradictions in the two Nativities disappear, if we recognize this discovery by Rudolf Steiner to the full. One thousand nine hundred and nine years after the birth of Christ, Rudolf Steiner revealed the true history of this Nativity and made it accessible to human understanding. This is, considered historically, the first spiritual gift from Christ who at that time became active in the etheric realm. It is no coincidence that this revelation occurred in that particular geo" graphical area, namely Basle (Switzerland), which was also the theater for the Grail events in the ninth century. (F.10)
