Sergej O. Prokofjev Libri

An esoteric study of Christmas and Epiphany and Rudolf Steiner's first Goetheanum.

Prokofieff investigates the deepest mysteries of Rudolf Steiner's life and individuality and examines the earthly and supersensible aspects of the first Goetheanum, the implications of the Christmas Conference of 1923-24, and the Foundation Stone meditation.

“We live today at a time when the full mystery of the Resurrection body can become manifest to human beings out of the inspirations of Michael.... This was accomplished by Rudolf Steiner not just in a theoretical sense but also practically, and came about through the establishing of a path, accessible to all human beings, which leads to a union with the forces of the Resurrection body.” Sergei Prokofieff approaches the deepest mysteries of the Turning Point of Time (the Christ event) through Rudolf Steiner’s spiritual research. At its heart stands the question of the restoration of the “phantom” of the physical body and its transformation into the resurrected body of Christ through the Mystery of Golgotha. The author draws a broad and differentiated picture of the tasks and possibilities that the Easter event―as well as Ascension and Pentecost―present, both for the individual and humanity. The final chapter considers the mystery of Easter Saturday, through which the two polar aspects of the Mystery of Golgotha―death and resurrection―interconnect, also explaining the relationship between the Earth Spirit and the interior of the Earth. An appendix tackles the phenomenon of stigmatization from a spiritual-scientific perspective.

Illuminating various dimensions of spiritual science, this work talks about, among other aspects, the relationship of the Foundation Stone Meditation to the being Anthroposophia, the spiritual hierarchies, human karma, the Rosicrucian, Michaelic and Grail streams, the Mystery of Golgotha, the two Jesus boys, and more.

An esoteric study of human individuality and the meaning of the ego.

What is Whitsun, or Pentecost, and how can its impulse be furthered for the future of society? How can social life become the bearer of the Christ impulse, and how can Christ himself enter social life directly? In this small booklet, Sergei Prokofieff discusses the significance of spiritual work conducted in a social setting and its crucial role in preparing for the future epoch of the spirit-self. The spiritual and social tasks before us, he tells us, can be achieved only "through mutual efforts with one another." Moreover, for such social activity, the General Anthroposophical Society, "with all of its different groups and branches, which unite all anthroposophists in the world," plays a fundamental role. Thus, the spiritual tasks of the General Anthroposophical Society gradually unite with the tasks of all humankind. This booklet, consisting of the report of a lecture and supplemented with an essay, is an important companion to another publication by this author, The Esoteric Significance of Spiritual Work in Anthroposophical Groups .

“We have shown how in the course of time the being who was present in Elijah appeared again at the most important moments of human evolution on Earth―appeared again so that Christ Jesus Himself could give him the initiation he was to receive for the evolution of humankind. For the being of Elijah reappeared in Lazarus-John―who are in truth one and the same figure.” ― Rudolf Steiner This is what Rudolf Steiner had to say in his final address to members of the Anthroposophical Society. This was his only comment on the connection between John the Baptist and John the Evangelist. As Sergei Prokofieff points out, Steiner had intended to develop and fully clarify that brief comment, but his fatal illness prevented him from doing so. In this short but enlightening book, Prokofieff addresses the mystery of the “two Johns,” resolving many unanswered questions. In particular, he sheds light on issues of “incarnation and incorporation,” the initiations of John the Baptist and John the Evangelist, the significance of their mutual work at the “Turning Point of Time,” and the relevance of those events for our present time.
