Dear folks, In reference to Christ's healing powers, Lecture Three of The Spiritual Guidance of the Individual and Humanity by Steiner, states:
The miracles of healing the sick must also be understood from this point of view. Let us look at just one passage, the one that reads,"Now when the sun was setting, all those who had any that were sick with various diseases brought them to Him; and He laid his hands on them and healed them (Luke 5:40)". What does this mean? Here the gospel writer points out that this healing was connected with the constellation of the stars, that in those days the necessary constellation was present only after the sun had set. In other words, in those times the healing forces could manifest themselves only after sunset. Christ Jesus is portrayed as the mediator who brings together the sick and the forces of the cosmos that could heal them at precisely that time. These were the same forces that also worked as Christ in Jesus. The healing occurred through Christ's presence, which exposed the sick to the healing cosmic forces. These healing forces could be effective only under the appropriate conditions of space and time, as described above. In other words, the forces of the cosmos worked on the sick through their representative, the Christ. Better than hash-oil any day. Cordelia -----Original Message-----
