Mondenkarma und Sonnenkarma

In his study of Rudolf Steiner's mystery dramas, Michael Debus starts from the central motif of karma's influence. It becomes evident that the crucial spiritual facts of our present time, which Rudolf Steiner highlights, are directly related to the mystery drama we encounter on stage. Among other things, these include humanity's unconscious crossing of thresholds, the new form of community building arising from the forces of the future, organized according to measure and number, and a deeper understanding of ancient Egyptian culture as a source of past karma and a key to understanding our present. In summary, it can be concluded that we owe the development of our personality to lunar karma, which originates from the past. However, the individual striving for the transpersonal today owes itself to solar karma, which comes from the future. The transition from lunar karma to solar karma represents the true essence of the mystery dramas.
