R. Steiner separated from the Theosophical Society in 1913, renamed the western part the Anthroposophical Society and declared the following as early as 1907:<\/p>\n\n
“At the head of our Western School stand two Masters: the Master Jesus and the Master Christian Rosenkreutz. And two paths they lead us, the Christian-esoteric path and the Christian-Rosenkreutz path. The Great White Lodge guides all spiritual movements, and the Master Jesus and the Master Christian Rosenkreutz belong to it.”<\/p>\n\n
The Master Christian Rosenkreutz, through the information given by R. Steiner in his lectures, can be named in the incarnations thus publicly mentioned as:<\/p>\n\n
Hieram; John (the disciple); Chr. Rosenkreutz; Saint Germain; Master Rakoczy; Mahachohan (high office in the Brotherhood).<\/p>\n\n
It is understandable to ask now how the Master Jesus is. Here there are few indications through R. Steiner.<\/p>\n\n
For the members of the “Inner Circle” of Anthroposophy, however, a finding in the estate of Ita Wegmann is of importance for this question. Ita Wegmann was a very close and over several lifetimes significant spiritual companion of R. Steiner.<\/p>\n\n
He personally gave her a relatively small picture, probably created by him, for meditative work, which is described as follows:<\/p>\n\n
In the centre an altar, on one side of this altar a person with the designation “Ch.R.” underneath and on the other side a person with the designation “R.St.” underneath, each standing next to the altar.<\/p>\n\n
Every reader, if it is important to him, may draw his own conclusions from what is depicted here.<\/p>\n\n
