Rudolf Steiner has portrayed the evolution of earth and cosmos in seven stages, from Ancient Saturn through Future Vulcan. Consistent with his values, he further portrayed his understanding in many artistic modalities, including in the creation of the first Goetheanum building, and the paintings and columns therein. The motifs of the seven columns correspond to seven stages of evolution, and their essence is encapsulated in the seven planetary "seals." This special series features guest teacher Brian Gray, an accomplished teacher of all studies in Anthroposophy. In this 5-part series, Brian leads us through an intensive study of the seven planetary seals, helping us understand their sacred geometry and how they portray the essence of our human-cosmic being.
In this, the last of the six lessons in this series, Brian shows images of the First Goetheanum, emphasizing the relationship of the Capitols to the Seven Planetary Seals that were studies in this series, and explains how they reveal the evolving story of the human being.
