Synopsis "The Temple Legend: Freemasonry and Related Occult Movements: From the Contents of the Esoteric School (Cw 93)"

20 lectures and talks, Berlin, October 7, 1904 - June 5, 1905 (CW 93)In these unique lectures, given to members of his Esoteric School (1904-1914), Rudolf Steiner illumines the hidden content of the pictorial language of myths, sagas, and legends. Pictures, he explains, are the true origin of all things--the primeval spiritual causes. In the ancient past, people assimilated these pictures through myths and legends. However, to work in a healthy way with pictures or symbols today it is necessary first to become acquainted with their esoteric essence and to understand them. At the time of these lectures, Steiner was planning to inaugurate the second section or class of the Esoteric School, which would deal directly with a renewal--based on his spiritual research--of ritual and symbolism. He gave these lectures as a necessary preparation to clarify the history and nature of the ritual traditions. Thus, he principally discusses Freemasonry and its background, but also the Rosicrucians, Manicheism, the Druids, the Prometheus Saga, the Lost Temple, Cain and Able, and much more. This series of lectures provides real insight into the esoteric language that Steiner used, particularly during the earlier years of his teaching.This book is a translation from German of Die Tempellegende und die Goldene Legende (GA 93).

Rudolf Steiner (Donji Kraljevec, Imperio austrohúngaro, hoy Croacia, 25 o 27 de febrero de 18611-Dornach, Suiza, 30 de marzo de 1925) fue un filósofo austriaco, erudito literario, educador, artista, autor teatral, pensador social y ocultista. Fue el fundador de la antroposofía, la educación Waldorf, la agricultura biodinámica, la medicina antroposófica5 y de la nueva forma artística de la euritmia.

Describió la antroposofía como sigue: La antroposofía es un sendero de conocimiento que quisiera conducir lo espiritual en el hombre a lo espiritual en el universo. Pueden ser antropósofos quienes sienten determinadas cuestiones sobre la esencia del hombre y del mundo como una necesidad tan vital como la que se siente cuando tenemos hambre y sed.

Steiner propuso una forma de individualismo ético, al que luego añadió un componente más explícitamente espiritual. Derivó su epistemología de la visión del mundo de Johann Wolfgang Goethe, según la cual el pensamiento es un órgano de percepción al igual que el ojo o el oído. Del mismo modo que el ojo percibe colores y el oído sonidos, así el pensamiento percibe ideas.
