Rudolph Steiner’s Observations on Star Knowledge

11/19/2018

In some previous blogs on this site, and particularly in our article, Each of Us Has a Star, we have considered that we are all guided by our own Star.

The following is an extract from observations made by Rudolph Steiner in 1906[1]:
“People at that time (i.e. in the first millennium BC) continuously looked toward the worlds above. This perspective existed everywhere, even among the Chaldean priests. The stars expressed soul and spirit to them; The stars were really the bodies of spirits. All of space was alive with spiritual beings. They spoke of the changelessness of the laws, according to which the stars moved, as they did about the will of the spirits whose bodies are the Sun and the planets. Human beings lived at that time by constantly directing their souls upward to the spirit. The external works performed by human beings on the Earth were primitive, while, on the other hand, the universe around them was permeated with the workings of the spirit to a high degree. We find there a highly spiritual view of the world alongside a primitive material culture.”

And the next quotation is taken from: Meditation Theme, by Rudolph Steiner.
The Field of Stars and Roses
My head bears the being
of the resting stars.
It thinks.
My breast harbours the life of the wandering stars. She feels.
My spirit lives and moves in the elements of earth. He wills.
All this am I.

Considering the Supreme Being as a Sphere

Back on 7th October I posed the question: “Is the Universe a Sphere?” This week, while reading a non-fiction book called Crystal & Dragon which I am reviewing for a magazine, I came across some interesting observation about the naturally occurring incidences of spheres. Here is an excerpt.

“Xenophanes, who was the first philosopher to put forward the idea of a single, supreme deity, believed that He, or rather It, would have to be in the form of a sphere! It is not easy to see how one could test that particular hypothesis, but it is now felt that the cosmos itself, in the most general way, expresses a spherical symmetry.

“It is not only our own planet that is spherical of course, but also all other large heavenly bodies. The Sun and the Moon, in common with all other stars, planets and their accompanying moons, adopt the shape of minimum surface area in response to the power of an attractive force…” Later in the same paragraph, he continues, “Many microscopic creatures, by virtue of their size and density relative to their surroundings, are symmetrical about a point, and some, including bacteria, algae and volvox, are completely spherical, a condition that they achieve by being fairly indifferent to the force of gravity.”

The author concludes that chapter with the statement, “With our present, though very different, notions of symmetry we have almost come full circle, back to those ancient Greek ideas of armonia, of a great ordering harmony that operates between every part of the universe and the universe as a whole.”

Taken from Crystal & Dragon – The Cosmic Dance of Symmetry & Chaos in Nature, Art & Consciousness by David Wade, 1991, Destiny Books USA

The Tradition of the Sun Crown

11/4/2018

A radiant or radiate crown, also known as a solar crown or Sun crown, is a crown, wreath, diadem, or other headgear symbolizing the Sun or more generally powers associated with the Sun. It typically takes the form of either a horned disc to represent the Sun, or a curved band of points to represent rays.

The Sun King, King Louis XIV who ruled France from the 17th into the 18th century, adopted the Sun insignia to evoke how his position as the King of France was truly ordained as God’s representative in life.

In the iconography of ancient Egypt, the solar crown was taken as a disc framed by the horns of a ram or cow. It was worn by deities such as Horus in his solar or hawk-headed form, Hathor, and Isis, and was also worn by some pharaohs.

In Ptolemaic Egypt, the solar crown could also be a radiate diadem, modelled after the type worn by Alexander the Great (as identified with the Sun god Helios) in art from the mid-2nd century BC onward. It was perhaps influenced by contact with the Shunga Empire, and a Greco-Bactrian example was depicted at the great stupa of Bharhut. The first ruler of Egypt to wear this version of a solar crown was Ptolemy III Euergetes (246–222 BC).

In the Roman Empire, the solar crown was worn by Roman emperors in association with the cult of Sol Invictus, influenced also by radiant depictions of Alexander. The solar crown worn by Constantine, the first emperor to convert to Christianity, was reinterpreted as representing the "Holy Nails".
