Synopsis

Cosmic Christianity describes the relationship between the earthly and supra-earthly cosmic worlds by showing the relationship between the cosmosas expressed in the movements of the starsand the activities of Christ during his three years of ministry on Earth. The gesture of each astrological planet during those years is worked out and correlated with specific acts of the Christ as recorded in the Gospels. The apparent looping movements of Mercury, for example, are connected with the seven signs of St. Johns gospel. The author goes on to explore the many ways in which these healing acts, which have been inscribed in the heavens, continue to work in evolution through the events of history and through our individual human lives. By studying this, we begin to understand our responsibility for developing the new Christian mysteries and, consequently, renewing the starry cosmos. Sucher presents a real foundation for modern star wisdom. Topics include the evolution of cosmology; the origins of the planetary symbols; our new relationship to the stars as revealed in human lives and historical events; and the role of the Archangel Michael in our individual relationship to the stars. This is an excellent place to begin ones study of the stars and their meaning for both our individual lives and for the world. Indludes original diagrams by Willi Sucher.

About the Author

Willi Sucher (1902-1985) encountered the work of Rudolf Steiner in 1919 at the age of seventeen. He devoted his life to anthroposophy, working closely with Dr. Elizabeth Vreede, a leader in the spiritual research of astronomy and mathematics in the Anthroposophical Society. Sucher devoted almost sixty years to developing the new "star wisdom" called astrosophy, which he considered most appropriate for modern humanity.
