This video taken from a 1904 lecture by Rudolf Steiner explores one of the most profound legends in the Rosicrucian tradition—the story of Solomon, Hiram Abiff, and the building of the Temple. Drawing on Biblical archetypes, Hermetic philosophy, and the Temple Legend, the narrative traces the two great lineages of humanity: the Sons of Cain, bearers of fire, art, and science, and the Sons of Seth, custodians of divine wisdom and piety.

From the tragedy of Hiram’s betrayal to the mystery of the Molten Sea and the Golden Triangle, this legend reveals the hidden struggle between divine inspiration and human creativity. At its heart lies the promise of a future synthesis: a renewed Rosicrucian Christianity that unites wisdom, art, and spiritual science
