Transcript
Distinct Roles Of Ego And Christ Being
- Steiner distinguishes the human ego (birth to baptism) from the Christ being (indwelling after baptism).
- After the Jordan baptism the Christ being, not a human ego, inhabits Jesus’ physical, etheric, and astral bodies.
Planetary Origins Of Human Members
- Steiner maps human members to planetary stages: Saturn (physical), Sun (etheric), Moon (astral), Earth (ego).
- Ego consciousness could only emerge fully during Earth evolution after prior planetary unfoldings.
Hebrew Folk Ego Versus Individuality
- Ancient Hebrew people manifested a collective folk-ego rather than sharp individual ego-consciousness.
- Individual ego awareness developed gradually, becoming clearer after Atlantis toward later epochs.
