RUDOLF STEINER AFFIRMS THAT ANCIENT GREEK PHILOSOPHERS DARKENED HUMANITY




At the conference that Rudolf Steiner gave on October 2, 1913, he asserted the following:


« During Greek times humanity had developed to the point in which through Plato and Aristotle it rose to a very high level of learning, of intellectuality. In many respects the knowledge achieved by Plato and Aristotle could not be superseded in later times, for the summit of human intellectuality had already been reached.

However when one has attained to clairvoyant consciousness he can say: everything which humanity had gathered as knowledge in pre-Christian times comes under the sign of the moon because for higher human perception this knowledge had not enlightened, had not solved riddles, but for higher perception was darkening, as the moon darkens the sun during an eclipse.

So at that time knowledge was not enlightening, but acted as a darkening of the riddle of the world, and one feels as a clairvoyant the darkening of the higher, spiritual regions of the world through the knowledge of ancient times, which acted in respect to higher knowledge as the moon acts during a solar eclipse»



But that Rudolf Steiner claims is false because Blavatsky explained that Plato and others ancient philosophers, they were initiated into occult knowledge (principally in Egypt) and consequently they were the instructors of the Masters’ teachings during antiquity.

And that is why that Blavatsky pointed out that:

« There were already theosophists before the Christian era, although some Catholic writers want to attribute the development of the Eclectic Theosophical System to the first part of the third century after Christ.

But Diogenes Laertius, who was an important Greek historian, he mentions that the origin of Theosophy went back to a much earlier period, at the beginning of the Ptolemaic dynasty, and he points out that its founder was an Egyptian Hierophant named Pot-Amun who was the supreme priest in the temple of Amun, the god of wisdom. »
