The Archangel Michael: His Mission and Ours

The Archangel Michael: His Mission and Ours

For centuries, the tradition of the â€œmystical chronologyâ€ of the worldâ€™s seven archangelic regents has been part of Western esoteric teaching. According to this tradition, 1879 marked the return of the solar spirit Michaelâ€•the archangel of the Sunâ€•to oversee earthly evolution. Steiner always placed his life and work in the service of Michaelâ€™s evolutionary task. And he recognized that, at the beginning of the twentieth century, humanity emerged from the Kali Yugaâ€•the Dark Ageâ€•and entered the Age of Light.

Against this background, Steiner described the ascent of Michael as cosmic ruler, his battle with the â€œdragonâ€ of the spirits of darkness, and his roles as the countenance of Christ and the guardian of cosmic intelligence. He also gave many profound indications of how Michaelâ€™s evolutionary task depends on the free and independent collaboration of human coworkers. Speaking on behalf of Michael, Steiner laid out the essentials for a new Michaelic path to full humanity.

Among the elements of this path are the development of selfless individuality; cosmopolitanism; the practice of the presence of Christ; fearlessness; the transformation of thinking and perception in a new synthesis of science, art, and religion; the spiritualization of space; and the separation of thought from language.

The Archangel Michael gathers most of Steinerâ€™s statements on this subject, making it an important source for coming to terms with todayâ€™s political, social, psychological, and spiritual crises.
