Rudolf Steiner and time
Posted: Fri May 17, 2013 8:22 am
Rudolf Steiner's investigation in man's past by consculting the Akasha Chronica (a bit like Edgar Cayce) is quite detailed.
He speaks of 7 earth epochs. Our current epoch is designated by his research as the 5th.
1st: Polarian
2nd: Hyperborean
3rd: Lemurian
4th: Atlantean
5th: Current
He mentions also that our current earth epoch is can be divided in 7, and is designated as such:
Indian 7227 BC – 5067 BC - Age of Cancer
Persian 5067 BC – 2970 BC – Age of Gemini
Egypto Chaldean 2,907 BC – 747 BC – Age of Taurus
Greco Roman 747 BC – 1,413 AD – Age of Aries
Anglo German 1413 AD – 3,573 AD – Age of Pisces
Russian 3573 AD – 5,733 – Age of Aquarius
American 5733 – 7893 (end of 5th post Atlantean Epoch) Age of Capricorn
But I'm not sure if Steiner's calculation of the cultural epochs really matches the astrological ones. This has to be verified.
Then there are also epochs encompassing all of these, which involve stages of the solar system, into 7, again.
The things is, I am trying to make this fit in the chronology papers you're working on, Daniel. Anything about Steiner's work in your upcoming paper?
Thanks.
