Steiner

Despite Evola’s condemnation of Steiner as a “hopeless muddle”, a closer look into Christianity can uncover patterns that might make us take Steiner more seriously. Steiner’s seven steps of initiation closely correspond to passages from 2 Peter & The Beatitudes (mirrored in the Shepherd of Hermas) which represent a very ancient template for The Way (of Christ), a template also duplicated in shorter form in St. Paul’s “Faith, Hope, (Knowledge) & Love” (in which “Hope” can be read to stand for the middle virtues of Goodness, Knowledge, Self-Control, Fortitude, Godliness, & Brotherly Affection listed in 2 Peter. [...]The entire Schemata of Steiner follows (my suggestions in parentheses – Faith is assumed to begin the possibility of initiation):The Washing of the Feet. (Goodness?)
The Scourging. (Knowledge?)
The Crowning with Thorns. (Self-Control?)
The Bearing of the Cross. (Perseverance?)
The Mystic Death. (Godliness?)
The Entombment. (Brotherly Affection?)
The Resurrection. (Love?)— Matthew Smallwood 2011-08-12 as "Logres" at «Gornahoor»Media«The Seven Steps of Esoteric Christianity» Matthew Smallwood 2011-08-12 as "Logres" at «Gornahoor»
