Add your two cents. By Douglas Gabriel There has always been much confusion and mystery around this painting of Anna May Rychter in Anthroposophic circles. Many believe the painting was made by Edith Maryon, Rudolf Steiner’s close associate in creating the First Goetheanum and the sculpting of the Representation of Mankind. Others believe that Steiner himself painted it or that it was created and then hidden. No one seems to know where the original painting disappeared to and the rumors about why it was created abound. Having known of this painting for four decades and meditating its content for as long, I finally came across an article by Margarethe Hauschka, a very reliable source, that explains many of the mysteries of the painting and the central role that this painting would have played in the first building Steiner wanted to create in Munich. With the discovery of the content of Hauschka’s article, I was able to add to a description of the painting that came from “unknown” sources that I had been using all those years in trying to decipher its meaning. The new information from Anna May’s description, along with Hauschka’s remarks, gave me insight into the central themes of the painting, giving me tremendous insight regarding the lives of Christian Rosenkreutz and Lazarus/St. John the Divine. All of Freemasonry is based upon the “two John’s of Jerusalem,” who are known as St. John the Divine and St. John the Baptist. Prior to building the First Goetheanum, Steiner had planned to build a hall in Munich which was to be dedicated to Lazarus/St. John with the name Johannesbau, or St. John’s building. We know from Steiner that Lazarus/St. John was also the mysterious figure Christian Rosenkreutz, the founder of Rosicrucianism. The spiritual history, life, and teachings of Rosenkreutz was first promulgated in three initial books by Johann Valentin Andreae and later through Henricus Madathanus and others. Prior to these books, the life of Christian Rosenkreutz was one of great mystery and spiritual import. Although Rosenkreutz’s incarnation in the thirteenth century was not recorded in outer history, Rudolf Steiner was able to determine through his clairvoyance that this was his incarnation of a “wondrous child” who was initiated by the twelve great masters. The right panel of the painting, known as a triptych, displays the initiation of Christian Rosenkreutz as a model for all humans to follow in the distant future. The Johannesbau was to have the triptych in a central position of the building, demonstrating Rudolf Steiner’s personal knowledge and experience with the founder of Rosicrucianism. Steiner’s Anthroposophy is a form of Rosicrucianism inspired by Christian Rosenkreutz, who we know later by the name of the Comte de Saint Germain who lived in the eighteenth century. What is quite notable about the Anna May’s story of the triptych is that she names Christian Rosenkreutz in her description as the reincarnation of Cain who became Hiram Abif who became St. John-Lazarus. This series of incarnations from Cain to Hiram to Lazarus/St. John to Rosenkreutz is one of the most amazing lines of karmic descent that has ever been visually depicted. To see that the first sin of death by Cain is redeemed by Jesus Christ dying on the cross is a powerful insight of wisdom that shows the true nature of karma and reincarnation. Add to this revelation another one from Anna May: that Solomon was the reincarnated Able who then reincarnated as Mary Magdalene. These are profound veils that have been lifted quite a veil for the spiritual researcher. Cain and Abel stood under the Cross, as the reincarnated St. John and Mary Magdalene, and the ‘Mark of Cain’ was finally removed. After this “sin” had been redeemed through love and wisdom, Cain-Hiram-St. John, in his later incarnation as Christian Rosenkreutz, was able to go through an advanced initiation process that the rest of humanity can follow in time. Essentially, Cain begins as the original author of war and ends as the servant of the Christ, the author of peace. Rudolf Steiner is the only author who describes this special initiation process that Rosenkreutz went through in the thirteenth century. Later in the fourteenth century, Rosenkreutz goes through another initiation as depicted in the book, The Chemical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz. Steiner describes this initiation of the wondrous child: The Mission of Christian Rosenkreutz, Intimate Workings of Karma, Rudolf Steiner, Lecture IV, February 9, 1912. GA 130 When in about the middle of the thirteenth century, the darkness lifted, strange happenings transpired at a certain place in Europe — the name cannot...
