What a truly fascinating conception. Anyone who has been touched by the knowledge of Anthroposophy can feel that there really is something there, something beyond reason
This is really incredible- I wish to see it in person!! I would love to be able to get my Anthroposophy paintings shown in the Goetheanum! Bless your work!
Thanks Daniel. Any insights on the hexagonal/hexagram window depicted in the upper right of the image of the Rosicrucian underground stone temple @ 2:50 ? As I understand it the Hexagon, expressed in the activity of bees, is a geometric principle directing man toward a future community. The hexagram, meanwhile, exists as a symbol claimed by those who deny the Mystery of Golgatha has taken place. One looks toward the past the other toward a future. In window-form light passes through from one side to the other, from inner to outer and vice-versa. It strikes me that with an underground temple like this the light must shine OUT from the earth. “God made two great lights” (Genesis 1:16), one that streams in and one that streams out perhaps (Schau in dich - schau um dich). I would be keen to hear additional insights you may have concerning six-sided-ness with respect to Rosicrucian architecture. With warm Christmas greetings, 🌹🌲🕯
Dear Refugee, In general Rudolf Steiner used all kinds of geometric figures. The pentagram, he said, underlies the currents of the ether body; and the hexagram, the astral. There is also a golden pentagram, not shown in the painting, above the central arch in the foreground. The figure Stockmeyer pictures in the oculus is actually an unusual kind of heptagram. Three of its outer corners are hidden behind the thickness of the wall. The axis of symmetry runs from the highest corner, just visible at the upper left, down through the large node on the right. The whole thing looks like a pentagram overlapping a hexagram from above. It symbolizes the seven eyes of the Lamb in the Book of Revelation. Probably the heptagram was never constructed there. The painting shows a meeting of the Francis of Assisi lodge, and includes other features too that were not physically present, such as the dead, and in the upper middle, Christ. Later we'll look at the twice six columns surrounding the Goetheanum stage. Wishing you all the good forces of the Holy Nights. Aloha.

too bad I missed the real
true Goetheanum building
Now we have to create it inwardly ourselves. Or maybe even outwardly.
Does he really have to talk so creepy?
Interesting that you find it (as you say) "creepy" - I find it "reverential"
He’s using the art form of spearhead called sprach geschtaltung. It doesn’t translate very well to recording sometimes.
