Sistine Madonna

Sistine Madonna by Raphael Sanzio


Raphael was an emissary of a great Mystic Brotherhood....His famous Sistine Madonna, which many critics have considered the world's greatest painting, has been used for meditative purposes in schools of esoteric Christianity. In this masterpiece of spiritual art Raphael has transmitted far more than mere beauty of form. The eminent occultist, Dr. Rudolf Steiner, recommended that his pupils meditate on this famous picture, declaring that it exercised a curative effect upon its beholder and was actually a medium for spiritual healing.

                                                Mystery of the Christos, Vol. VII, p.29

The musical keynote of this planet is attuned to the song of Angels: "Glory to God in the highest on earth, peace, good will toward men." It is the harmonious, rhythmic enunciation of this planetary Word, resounding again and again through all the earth, that accomplishes the miracle of Holy Night.

The vast celestial forces that play between heaven and earth in this blessed season sound forth with an unsurpassable beauty. Some faint echoing of this celestial harmony was captured by Franz Schubert and transcribed for human hearing in the exquisite strains of his "Ave Maria." This composition may be regarded in a way as the musical keynote of the Christmas Season. Its music carries a tremendous spiritual power, particularly during this time of the year when it re-echoes, as it were, the celestial rhythms brought down from cosmic spaces.

May the celestial forces of rhythm, beauty, and harmony bless you this season and throughout the new year. You are the Light of the world.

Star of BethlehemChrist and the Coming New Age

As we come to an end of our consideration of the world today and its dominating rays, working through the nations and conditioning the people, there is a final point which I would like to make; it lies in the realm of religion and concerns the significance of Christmas. From the very night of time, as well you know, the period wherein the sun moves northward again has been regarded as a festival season; for thousands of years it has been associated with the coming of the Sun-God to save the world, to bring light and fruitfulness to the Earth and through the work of the Son of God to bring hope to humanity.
