An earlier incarnation of Steiner as Thomas Aquinas. That is a fact that many people know today behaves moderately. Some books are published been where these incarnations are explicitly addressed.

on the concrete and many different contexts over These two incarnations like today and I can not comment in this article. In a previous article I have written a little about it. Another time I will therefore continue.
I want to in this article simply to point out a fact that a fixed karma between the individuality Steiner and Catholicism is present.
the karmic connection between him and the Catholic Church is not at all loose. This is a serious connection. witnessed the history of the Catholic church, as strong after the Death of Thomas Aquinas's theology for the attachment of the Church power was useful. The individuality Steiner strides forward regardless of the earthly power of the church. But if the connection that was created by destiny in a previous life, as strong as between the individuality and Steiner's Roman Catholicism, they can not easily, quickly and suddenly disappear in a later life.
Saint Thomas Aquinas,
secured by his philosophy and books
the power of the church.
The karmic bond seek a person if he again in a new life on earth and will continue in another life relationship. Each individual comes with a target on the ground and the already achieved development status will bring concrete through the past lives on. But it catches up with him as a necessary obstacle fate the old bond that you prefer will soon have behind you, so you can go straight to reach the new target. Nevertheless, one must deal fatefully so if you really want to go in a new life on. In this sense, there is no straight Enwicklung.
One such obstacle was for Steiner his fate excessive attachment to Catholicism. The evidence of his biography. He loved the show as a little boy, but he could have been almost beaten because one day he came a little late in the show, in which he would serve as an altar. In his father violently angry and would not he go to mass. After he is still constantly in contact with the Catholic Church. As a boy, he felt a sudden rise in front of a monastery a deep feeling: happens behind this wall, something very important. He writes in his autobiography that he in a high school could have gone, in which he had a career to a priest could do. But that was the fate of that choice, because he should not again take a similar path externally in this new life. Later, he met some liberal Catholic clergy know that he brought the works of Thomas Aquinas's close. Such examples can be seen well, how come by the action of fate, the past issues and links from the past life to us to activate the karmic elements in us.
developed gradually Steiner but significant resistance to the church. While he worked in the editorial for the "magazine" in Berlin, he wrote numerous articles, in which he sharply distanced himself from Christianity in the sense of religious faith. And it was not clear to many people, as man Rudolf Steier, who was so against Christianity, and afterwards could occur in a very different environment than Christusverkünder. Furthermore one has broken his head.
karmically But is it clear: He had the essence of Christianity, which he had previously developed as part of the church as Thomas, from the old fixed form of church detach and carry into a new contemporary form, so that the Christ impulse could be developed further in the more modern type. But he first had the essence of Christianity, which exists independently of the mentally äussren Konnfessionen to identify and resolve of the old dress. In the process he had to fight hard even against Christianity. Only after this review, it is between the 6th and 7 Seven-year went through, he could come to the fully modern Christ impulse. He passed his test in the time and realized the intellectual threads of the essence of Christianity, so that it in a new sense again Christuskünder could be.
The "Saint" Thomas Aquinas,
of the "heresy" of Averroes by his theology def.
The person who lies at the feet of saints, Averroes.
I understand that the old people's consciousness
it need a description.
Nevertheless, this representation is
for today's moral consciousness
no longer acceptable.
because I'm sorry to Averroes very sorry
that he is so humble on the ground.
Today we need a Manichean awareness
in the we humble because of the "error"
ourselves and another human
not, but know our shortcomings
understood by destiny.
The people who had to Rudolf Steiner sought in the Middle Ages in a similar way, the Christ had to more or less such internal processes to go through when they were again in his time on earth. There was, in my observation relatively anthroposophists many who were alive Steiner, the born-again former monks. This made a certain mood of the anthroposophical society that was unique. I think an increased attitude of worship at that time anthroposophists, some of which Steiner himself was rather to create, came also from the Church past the anthroposophists. was
Thomas Aquinas is not just any monk, but one who was canonised after his death by the Catholic Church and a model einens Catholic support was made. The karmic bond between Steiner and the individuality of the Church is therefore very strong, regardless of whether Steiner and the church also wanted to own it or not.
That could karmic reason within the anthroposophical movement many complicated karmic threads have been spun.
example, some who had come long after the death of Thomas returned to the Catholic church (eg, even after the Reformation) and had him revered as a saint in the then mood of absolute obedience, came even later in their life with a certain nostalgia for Thomas on anthroposophical movement. And according to my observations are still quite a few people in the movement even on a strict Catholic discipline in the sense of obedience and of infallibility.
Such backgrounds make the special atmosphere of holiness and worship of his person, of course, some of which is continued until today and the problems created in a contemporary understanding.
As I wrote in my article "The Heart erkraftete Ita Wegman, Wegman was , almost the only person who is not sanctified Steiner excessive. They never showed a submissive attitude towards him. She was a self-employed person with an inner strength. These properties can be (the Inkarantionensind shown in the books "humanity task Rudolf Steiner and Ita Wegman," "Erkraftung of the heart") in its previous incarnations notice.
And ausserderm Wegman had a special karmic familiarity with Steiner. This enabled her to a real first-encounter with Rudolf Steiner. be "I would not worship, but understood. " , it said Steiner. The excessive veneration for Steiner was last really too much and prevented the independent knowledge of the people was the cause of his suffering. It was this attitude of the people, though not, but he could not strip the old karmic qualities that in him from the life of Thomas still had strong unconscious, completely. The past in the past life was so intense there and present karma. anthroposophists And it was the same.
I think we should now take really these saints attitude towards his person, so we help Rudolf Steiner that he and the Anthroposophists his time out of their old karmic bonds that the anthroposophical movement today are no longer up to date may be exempted in order to detect a pulse in the living Christ meaning Steiner.
