The Modern Christ Experience: The Modern Christ Experience and the Knowledge Drama of the Second Coming, Volume 1

By Yeshayahu Ben-Aharon

At the beginning of the 20th century Rudolf Steiner predicted that in the 1930s and 40s a new appearance of the Christ in an etheric form would take place, perceived to begin with by a few people, and increasingly by more in the coming centuries. He pointed out that only through this new impulse will humanity be able to realize the true goals of its evolution. In The Modern Christ Experience and the Knowledge Drama of the Second Coming , Dr. Ben-Aharon describes the results of his spiritual scientific investigations of this event from first hand experience and knowledge. The four volumes are an extensive expansion of The New Experience of the Supersensible (Temple Lodge, 1995) Detailed Contents of Volume 1 Chapter 1 The Mystery of Spiritual Remembrance How the disciples were transformed into apostles; Teaching of the resurrected Christ and the transformation of memory through the Mystery of Golgotha; Spiritualization of the etheric body and memory and the construction of the modern bridge to the etheric Christ. Chapter 2 Saul-Paul at the Gates of Damascus Paul's meeting with the resurrected Christ is the archetype of the modern Christ experience and the knowledge drama of the Second Coming; Consolidation of the duality of human nature and the opening of the wound of Amfortas; Mystery of the giving of Christ's 'I' and the individuation of Christ's given keys of Death and Evil. Chapter 3 The Conditions of the Modern Christ Experience --The Evolution of Freedom The meeting with the etheric Christ is only possible in the age of the Consciousness Soul, when man has become free; Man's severance from the spiritual worlds, caused by the dying out of the ancient clairvoyance, must precede and prepare this fully conscious meeting; Present release of the etheric body from the physical body causes a far-reaching transformation of the entire human constitution; Meeting with the Christ occurs at the climax of the crisis of individuation, in the moment of 'the most significant disharmony in human feelings that ever existed in human evolution'. Chapter 4 The Modern Christ Experience -- The Meeting with the New Initiator The three main stages in the meeting with the etheric Christ: Experience of the death and resurrection of cognition, experience of evil and the healing of the soul, and the experience of the future potential of the complete transformation of man; In the first stage, the etheric Christ demonstrates the spiritualization of ordinary cognition into Imaginative cognition; In the second stage, His living words heal the discord and degradation of the separated soul forces; In the third stage, He shows how the physical body can be spiritualized; In the human spirit, soul, and body, the Christ plants three golden spirit seeds, as potential for future development, which man can only develop further by means of his free spiritual activity; This development is the task of the knowledge drama of the Second Coming.
