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 These forces, so to speak, were withdrawn from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which had been withdrawn from them, acted upon them from the outside.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.
