A devil: Ahriman

A devil: Ahriman
Ahrimanian beings Beings left behind on the old sun. The area of the world order assigned to them is the mineral world. The mineral world insofar as it is the dead. "Ahriman is in the farthest periphery the Lord of Death, the ruler of all powers, which are to bring about within the physical-sensual world that which is necessary in this physical-sensual world as annihilation, as death of the beings. (B145, 25.8.1913). The laws of the physical world include the necessity of death, if new is to come, the old must give way to the new. In this respect death has something justified. Ahriman becomes part of evil where it crosses its boundaries. Where he is tempted to give eternal existence to sensual forms. Where he tempts man to think only materialistically. Seducing man to want to enter the spiritual world with sensual thinking, there his evil work begins. The Ahriman beings mainly work on the etheric body and the mind soul of man. Since the Atlantic Age they have been intervening in the development of mankind. There where they work, they want to distract from the truth (B037, 22.3.09), they are the beings of lies, of false ideas. They want people to have a weak thinking, that they can only think thoughts that are connected with the physical-sensual world, isolate them from the real world. They want to connect man completely with the earthly, with matter, so that they can give life to the earth (B205, 7.10.1923). Ahriman wants to draw us into the lust for pleasure of the material incarnation, fun society, satisfaction, maximum possible joy, right that one is doing well, eternal health and eternal physical life. To make humans into will-less mechanically functioning beings. To connect with the earthly, material, an image of man based on carnal/physical beauty without selfless love (B119, Mystery Drama IV). To distract man from his rightful development, Ahriman tries to give him untimely abilities. "And Ahriman, what does Ahriman want? He wants to give power to man. Ahriman is the spirit that has fallen away before. On the ancient sun... Wisdom was not then like on the old moon, but power; only power without wisdom leads to black magic, to darkness", (B015, 19.2.1911). The Incarnation of Ahriman Just as the Christ embodied himself in a human body at the turn of time, so Ahriman will embody himself in a human body in the present time. This is preparing itself today. This preparation will be recognizable by various processes (B064, 27.10.1919): 1st triumph of materialistic science and the almost unlimited power in the world of economy and capital brought about by it. 2. the one-sided preoccupation with the Gospels, which leads to the experience not of the true Christ, but only of his hallucination (e.g. the spiritual exercises of Ignatius of Loyola) Thus there will appear persons who tell the "blue from heaven down" of revelations and who are fully under the control of Ahriman. Seditionists and destroyers of the people can appear there. Destruction of education, culture, peoples, communities, social systems. 3. all forms of nationalism as well as submission to the principle of blood and soil, all forms of political programs and ideological slogans. "... to stir up everything that divides people today into groups, into small groups that fight each other ... these Ahriman powers are effective everywhere where disharmonies between groups of people form", (B064, 27.10.1919). 4. people work for him as writers in the present time. Through them Ahriman speaks. 5. the glorification of material, earthly possessions. There will be an occultism that will bring occultism in connection with the sexual. (e.g. love horoscope, sexual rites). As man becomes more and more addicted to sensual desires, he will also be more and more prone to misjudgement. If people are addicted to the Ahriman, they will defend themselves against the objective judgement and will not be able to accept it at first. But when they are brought to trained judgement and discrimination, Ahriman flees from them. "There is no other means to counteract Ahriman than to introduce people to the science of the spirit to the spiritual science and the trained power of judgement and discrimination that grows from it", (B055, 22.5.1910). There where the scene is, in the human souls, the confrontation with the Ahriman, is the ability to judge, the confrontation with the lie, that is, in the realm of the soul of the mind. Ahriman will want to convince mankind in his incarnation that the physical body and the earthly world are the future of mankind. He wants to cut us off from the future development. Bind our thinking to the physical brain. All the greatest intelligence from the physical material demonstration. Continue to bind us to the dead intellectual thought world (B064, 4.11.1919). Our striving to achieve all effect and future only from matter. His greatest hope is to bring humanity into such a subdued and ignorant state that we should not be able to consciously follow his incarnation and its preparation. To prevent a spiritual culture that would not be seduced and tempted by Ahriman and his tricks. The human incarnation on earth has the meaning of development, only on earth we can experience certain things and develop our ego. Ahriman wants to take this experience of the ego in the events of fate and life from us. Ahriman will use various means to separate our experience from reality. It is not the experience of interpersonal contact that should be the most important thing for us, but rather the control of the processes through statistics, for example, the perception through externally determined mass media. Mass influence through mass media that spread complete untruths and misjudgements (e.g. greenhouse effect) with such intensity that poorly educated people live in a world of beliefs, untruths and misjudgements. Taking away the courage to make independent decisions, people only want to let him do what he has "proven" to be true. All kinds of internet social systems, television, video follow this preparation of Ahriman. Ahriman will also try to block every way into the spiritual, to close all initiation ways (only those leading down, into the flesh), so that no man can come into the spiritual anymore. Replace Christianity with atheism or un-Christian religions. But the Ahrimanic incarnation will also bring Ahrimanic quality into the earthly, i.e. something new (but which will accompany us in the long run). That man can gradually transform into a good and absorb into himself.
