TALK: Bowring’s Remarkable Paintings contain the whole of Anthroposophy

The Anthroposophical Society of Johannesburg is offering monthly talks to learn more about Anthroposophy. These are on the last Friday of every month.

Neil will give February’s talk (24 Feb) on Bowring’s Remarkable miniature paintings. These paintings or Masonic Tracing Boards produced by a Rosicrucian Master in 1819 contain the whole of Anthroposophy. To qualify this statement, Neil cites, the first painting alone includes 213 references to Steiner’s work. Due to time constraints only the first painting will be explained in detail accompanied by a general overview to understand the meaning of the other two images.

TALK: Bowring’s Remarkable Paintings contain the whole of Anthroposophy

Whilst researching the secret philosophy behind Freemasonry, Neil made an extraordinary find – Josiah Bowring’s three miniature tracing boards, which are story-telling pictures used by Freemasons as a means of instruction. Bowring’s were the finest tracing boards ever painted, but no one has ever been able to understand them - until now.

After 5-years of research these enigmatic paintings encapsulate the whole of Anthroposophy. What Rudolf Steiner revealed in 30 books and 6,000 lectures, Bowring captured in just 3 small paintings – no bigger than a man’s hand!

Neil will reveal the hidden meaning to the first tracing board in this evening’s talk and give a practical demonstrate to show why the use of symbols are necessary to attain spiritual knowledge.
