Here is the Thesis of the Lectures which we will explore:
In an exciting moment of spiritual vision the clairvoyant Rudolf Steiner spoke this to an audience of his private students,
"There is a fourth individuality named in history, behind whom for those who have the proper comprehension, much lies hidden — an individuality still higher and more powerful than Skythianos, than
Buddha or than
Zarathustra. This individuality is
Manes, and those who see more in
Manichaeism than is usually the case know him to be a very high messenger
of
Christ.
It is said that a few centuries after
Christ had lived on the
earth, there was held one of the greatest assemblies of the spiritual world connected with the
earth that ever took place, and that there Manes gathered
round him three mighty personalities of the fourth century after
Christ.
In this figurative description a most significant fact in connection with spiritual development is expressed. Manes called these persons together to consult with them as to the means of reintroducing the
wisdom that had lived throughout the changing times of the post
Atlantean age and of causing it to unfold more and more gloriously in the future."
Rudolf Steiner 08/31, 1909
Manes thus called a council of the great initiates of the past ages to consult with them on how to sustain the ancient wisdom and to bring it to a further glory. In this course we will search for the meaning of the utterance of the great
initiate and explore the teaching of Manes, and search for evidence of this in earthly events, teachings and philosophies.
Do you want to explore this statement by Rudolf Steiner and take a deep dive into the middle Eastern spiritual spiritual-cultural life? Then click below.
Rudolf Steiner goes on to say this was all in preparation for what became the Rosicrucian stream that later flowed everywhere in European culture affecting science, and religious philosophy and education and eventually transformed Europe.
In this series of five lectures we will focus on the teachings of Manes, Light against Darkness, and how this teaching progressed into living discussions of pupils and teachers. We will get a feel for the Persian/Arabian cultures from the 4th century
to the 10th.
This series will be followed by a second series, so this will form a foundation for more spiritually inspired cultural studies. the intention of this study is to deepen our understanding of pre-Islamic Arabian/Persian
culture, to the
advent of the Islamic teachers of Anatolia to the dawn of the Sufis.

About Manes:
Known as Manichaeus Corbicus. Mani, in Latin Manichaeus, (216 -v276), of Iranian origin was the prophet and the founder of Manichaeism, a gnostic religion of Late Antiquity which was once widespread but is now extinct. Mani was born in or near Seleucia-Ctesiphon
in Asuristan (Assyria), at the time still part of the Parthian Empire. Six of his major works were written in Syriac Aramaic and the seventh, dedicated to the king of the empire, Shapur I, was written in Middle Persian. He died in Gundeshapur, under
the Sassanid Empire.
