Astrosophy: Cosmic Christianity and The Changing Countenance of Cosmology - Willi Sucher

Cosmic Christianity
and The Changing Countenance of Cosmology
An Introduction to Astrosophy: A New Wisdom of the Stars
Willi Sucher

In Cosmic Christianity, Willi Sucher explores the connection between the earthly and the extraterrestrial worlds by understanding how the cosmic world―expressed in the movements of the stars―and the deeds of Christ during the three years of his life on earth are related. The gestures of each of the classical planets during these years are worked out, and correlated with the specific deeds of Christ as recorded in the Gospels. For example, the apparent looping movements of the planet Mercury are connected to the so-called "seven signs" or miracles described in the Gospel of St. John. Sucher then explores the many ways in which these healing deeds, inscribed in the heavens during the "three years," continue to work on in evolution through historical events and human biographies. Through studying this we realize how human beings are responsible for developing the new Christian mysteries, thereby renewing the cosmos of the stars.

The Changing Countenance of Cosmology is based on eight lectures given in England in 1969 and presents many of the fundamental perspectives for a star wisdom appropriate for modern humanity. Topics covered include: the evolution of cosmology from ancient times; the origins of the planetary symbols and the working of the planetary spheres; the new relationship to the stars as evidenced in human biographies and historical events; and the role of the Archangel Michael in the human being's relationship to the stars.

Combining Cosmic Christianity and The Changing Countenance of Cosmology in one volume provides the reader with a foundation for understanding the new star wisdom―Astrosophy―as well as an introduction to the heart of Willi Sucher's life work, which was to answer the call of Rudolf Steiner to assure that the Mystery of Golgotha lives on into the future through a spiritual understanding of the correlations between the earth and the cosmos of the stars.

"If the correlation between the earth and the extraterrestrial world, that is, the cosmic world, is not comprehended again on a level of spiritual understanding, then the Mystery of Golgotha cannot live on, cannot survive into the future."
- Rudolf Steiner

Willi Sucher first encountered Rudolf Steiner's work in 1919, at the age of seventeen. One year later he joined the Anthroposophical Society and began a lifetime study of Anthroposophy. In 1927, he began working with Dr. Elisabeth Vreede, a co-worker of Steiner's and a leader in spiritual-scientific research in the fields of astronomy and mathematics. Willi Sucher devoted the next fifty-eight years of his life, through diligent effort and detailed research, to the development of a new star wisdom―astrosophy― which would be appropriate for modern humanity.
