Behold, I Make All Things New
Lectures given at the 13th annual Spring Conference at Rudolf Steiner College, 5-7 May, 1989
As René Querido said in his opening remarks, these conferences have always been devoted to providing an opportunity for people to come together to consider the important questions of our time. The theme “Behold, I Make All Things New” and the date coincided in a particularly poignant way, as the 4th of May was Ascension Day, and Whitsun was ten days in the future, on 14 May 1989.
The first lecture, “The Radical Path of Consciousness,” surveys the important heralds of the Christ’s incarnation and emphasizes the radical impulse that Krishna, Gautama Buddha, Zarathustra, and the Hebrew people imparted to the spiritual life of humanity.
In the second lecture, “From Moses to Paul,” Rene Querido considers Moses, who had such a formative influence on the singular development of the Hebrew people, and St. Paul, whose experience of the Christ led him to understand that the Messiah came for all human beings, not only the Hebrews.
The third lecture, “Behold, I Make All Things New,” attempts to describe the work of the Holy Spirit in the evolution of human consciousness, with emphasis on the capacity for spiritual experience.
In the Epilogue, Rene Querido places the conference theme into the life and work of Rudolf Steiner, as ‘Behold, I Make All Things New’ describes quite accurately many aspects of his revelation of spiritual science.
