Primordial Ether In The Nathan Jesus
- Rudolf Steiner links the Nathan-line Jesus' ether body to a primordial, untouched ether-part withdrawn during Lemurian times.
- This unique etheric constitution made the Nathan child singularly pure and free from prior Luciferic contamination.
Luciferic Influence And The Lost Ether
- Steiner explains Luciferic beings introduced the possibility of moral choice and individual 'I' by penetrating human astral bodies.
- To balance this, a counterweight removed part of the ether body into the spiritual world until Palestine.
Buddha's Nirmāṇakāya In The Child's Aura
- Steiner claims the Buddha's nirmanakaya united with the Nathan child's astral body, contributing high spiritual forces.
- He reads Luke's shepherd-vision as a clairvoyant sighting of the Buddha's etheric presence above the child.
