“The Fifth Gospel”

“The Fifth Gospel From the Akashic Record”

From his clairvoyant reading of the spiritual Akashic Record – the cosmic memory of all events, actions and thoughts – Rudolf Steiner was able to speak of aspects of the life of Jesus Christ which are not contained in the four biblical Gospels. Such research, in that it is not based on historical records or extant documents, can be spoken of as a “Fifth Gospel”.

After an intense inner struggle to verify the exact nature of these events, and after carefully checking the results of his research, Steiner described many detailed episodes from the Akashic Record. He speaks here, for example, of Jesus´s life in the community of the Essenes, the temptation of Christ in the wilderness, and of a significant conversation between Jesus and Mary.

Steiner states that divulging such spiritual research is intensely difficult, but that it is … “absolutely essential that knowledge of such facts should be brought to Earth evolution at the present time.”
