RUDOLF STEINER AFFIRMS THAT THE EARTH CREATED THE SUN

This asseveration can surprise you a lot, but I assure you that it is true. In his book Cosmic Memory (1904) in Chapter IX entitled "Origin of the Present Earth and Extrusion of the Sun", Rudolf Steiner begins by saying:

« We shall now follow the Akasha Chronicle back into that remote past in which our present Earth had its beginning. By “Earth” is to be understood that condition of our planet by virtue of which it can support minerals, plants, animals, and men in their form of today. »

                               

Then Rudolf Steiner tells how the planet and humans have densified from the astral plane to the physical plane, but he does so in a very vague and very different way how Blavatsky explained it, which shows that Mr. Steiner read the Secret Doctrine but he did not understand it, and that is why he put an abstruse explanation to pretend that he also had an occult knowledge.

And when Earth finally materialized, Rudolf Steiner wrote the following:

« We are now dealing with a physical earth which is composed of the following kinds of matter: water, air, light ether, chemical ether and life ether.

There now follows an important cosmic event. The sun is extruded. Thereby certain forces simply leave the earth. These forces are composed of a part of what hitherto had existed on earth in the life ether and in the chemical and light ether. These forces, so to speak, were withdrawn from the earth.

A radical change thereby took place among groups of terrestrial beings which previously had contained these forces within themselves. They all suffered a transformation.

Those which have been called plant beings above, first suffered such a transformation. A part of their light ether forces was taken from them. They could then develop as organisms only when the force of light, which had been withdrawn from them, acted upon them from the outside. Thus the plants came under the influence of the sunlight.

Something similar happened with human bodies. From then onward, their light ether also had to act together with the light ether of the sun in order to be capable of life. But not only those beings themselves which lost the light ether were affected; the others were affected too. For in the world everything interacts.

Those animal forms, too, which did not contain light ether themselves had previously been irradiated by their fellow beings on earth and had developed under this irradiation. Now they also came under the immediate influence of the external sun.

The human body in particular developed organs receptive to the sunlight, that is, the first rudiments of human eyes.

The consequence of the extrusion of the sun was a further material densification of the earth. Solid matter developed from fluid; likewise the light ether separated into another kind of light ether, and into an ether which gives bodies the capacity to increase temperature. With this, the earth became an entity which developed heat within itself. »

So, according to Steiner, when Earth materialized, the Sun came out of the planet and was formed from the ethereal substance of Earth and the beings that inhabit it...

Wow!  I rarely had read anything so delirious and so incoherent in all aspects, scientific, esoteric, or simply the mere use of reasoning.

I read it again to see if I had misinterpreted his explanation, but no, that is exactly what Rudolf Steiner said. And in the next chapter, he twice insists again that the Sun was formed from Earth, since he wrote:

• "The Luciferic entities could participate in the earthly creation up to the point at which sun split off from earth."

• "After the separation of earth and sun, an activity began on earth."

And now I will explain why this statement is absolutely false.

Scientifically, there is no way that the Sun has come from the Earth, because how could our little world could create a star whose mass is 333'000 times greater than our planet and whose volume is more than a million times higher than Earth??????

Where did it get the energy, where did it get the material?

That is absurd!

And in no true esoteric teaching they said this barbarity since all of them specify that the Sun is the creator of our solar system.

Master Kuthumi wrote to Mr. Hume:

« The sun is the great nourishing father of our planetary system. »

(Mahatma Letter, p.498)

And also Master Kuthumi wrote to Mr. Sinnett:

« The sun is the heart and brain of our little universe that is the solar system. »

(ML 23B, p.164)

And this is proof that Rudolf Steiner was not in contact with Master Kuthumi as he claimed.

But the Theosophical teachers are not the only ones who affirm that, because all the great esoteric instructors that I know say the same thing. For example Master Pasteur on this subject explained:

              

« Why does the creator of the solar system [the Solar Logos] live in the sun?

Because the sun is the most spiritualize celestial body of the solar system. And besides, what better throne could this great Divine Being have chosen than this place of space which is the point of diffusion of divine energy, because the sun is the energetic source of all life.

Although for the moment you only perceive its most material aspects, that is: light, heat, solar dust, etc. »

(Conference, 06.27.85)

And the angel in the book Talking with Angels, on the sun he said the following:

« When the sun appears in the morning, the earth pays homage to his Creator. »

(Conversation 15)

« The sun is the king of his little universe [the solar system] and that is why his planets revolve around him. »

(Conversation 58)

So as you can see, no serious instructor says such an aberration that sun came out of the earth. And the question that one can ask is:

Why did Rudolf Steiner say such absurdity?

And when one knows the Catholic doctrine, the answer is easy to guess.

Rudolf Steiner surely declared this nonsense simply because he was a religious fanatic who wanted at all costs to make his "esoteric teaching" correspond with what is written in the Bible, since at the beginning of Genesis is written that "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth in the first day, and only in the fourth day He create the sun".

But what this guy did not understand is that this description is symbolic and therefore it should NOT be interpreted literally. !!!!!

CONCLUSION

And this is another example of how delirious Rudolf Steiner's anthroposophical teaching can be.

OBSERVATIONS

The followers of Rudolf Steiner have tried to knock down this article telling me that when the sun came out of the earth, it was not about our present planet but about an earlier manifestation of earth.

However, this is wrong because clearly Rudolf Steiner specified that what he was going to tell corresponded to the actual Earth as we know it today and not to a "previous manifestation". So this argument is a lie from Rudolf Steiner's supporters.

Others have told me that indeed a sun has come out of the earth, but it is not the sun in the sky, it is a "spiritual sun".

But once again that is false because Rudolf Steiner clearly states that after the sun left the earth, the inhabitants of the planet began to need the light that the sun emitted to be able to continue existing, and that's why Mr. Steiner wrote:

-      "The plants began to live under the influence of the light of that sun that had come out.

-      "And the animals have also begun to live under the immediate influence of that sun which became external."

-      "And in the human body, particular organs sensitive to the light began to develop, that is the first rudiments of human eyes."

So that is another lie from Rudolf Steiner's defenders to try to cover up their guru. But the reality is that Rudolf Steiner really assured that our current sun came out of our current planet !!!

And although in the 21st century, we know that this is a complete absurdity, it should be noted that this affirmation Rudolf Steiner wrote it at the beginning of the 20th century, a time when some people thought that this could be possible because at that time, space exploration had not started yet, and people still knew very little about the solar system.

For example, people (and even scientists) thought that other planets were also physically inhabited, and that in the dark side of the moon could find organic life, etc.

And as in the Bible it is mentioned that God first created the earth and only later the sun and the moon, so Rudolf Steiner considers that, if at the beginning there was only the earth, it was normal that the other celestial bodies came out of our planet.

But if Rudolf Steiner had really had esoteric knowledge as he so pretended, he would know that this affirmation was a complete stupidity, because as I showed you, all great instructors affirmed that the sun is the true creator of our solar system.

And even if Rudolf Steiner had no esoteric knowledge, but if he had only paid more attention to what is written in the Secret Doctrine instead of just repudiating it, he would have noticed that there Blavatsky pointed out that our sun is 1300 times bigger than our planet (Vol. II, p.708).

Then Rudolf Steiner might have thought that in the face of that enormous difference in size, it would not be such a good idea to finally declare that the sun came out of the earth, but this man was a liar who lets himself be carried by his religious fanaticism, he makes this asseveration without noticing that with it, he was also demonstrating his charlatanism.
