Dear Friends,
After the last posting one of the dear readers of this blog asked: “Who is Michael?”
This is a very nice question. When we say Michael we refer of course to St. Michael, the Archangel that plays a central role in Anthroposophy .
I will give you one or two thoughts of my own but
I would like to invite as many of the other readers a possible
to share a couple of brief lines on
what St. Michael means to them!
This powerful spiritual being has been known for a long time in the evolution of humanity. For example, in the Old Testament he appears as the angel that is fighting with Jacob and “blesses him” by renaming him Israel. The word Israel means “He who fights for God in a spiritual way”. Michael appears there first as a spiritual being that is so mighty that he represents the ” Face of God”. He is specifically related to the night. He undergoes his own growth and maturation and, based on Rudolf Steiner’s spiritual scientific research, we know that he has now advanced to a “day spirit” and has become “the Face of Christ”. Incidentally, we also know a part of the activity of this being under the name of St. George.
I’m looking forward to the contributions that might be coming on this topic.
