The first human astral body
The astral body (= sensation body) is the human nature element, which of 14 to 21 Age permeates the physical body. The astral body is of non-constituent material, and creates those feelings which are not based on direct perception, sympathy, imagination, joy and also pain, dissatisfaction, envy, mockery or antipathy. In the astral body is lowered from 21 Age gradually into the ego, which with refinement of the soul consciousness - is to go (35th age of 42) to maturity, see also Pisces 1413 AD - 3573). What positive features, the "adversary" Lucifer and Ahriman, which separate us from the ever good?
second
Lucifer Lucifer, the "light bearer", brings the people the freedom and the knowledge of good and evil. This leads to the possibility that a person can become mired in moral misconduct. Freedom is necessary so that man can be a morally self-responsible beings. Lucifer is indeed the immature soul is an adversary who opposes the divine creative powers, but he promotes through his resistance at the same time our development. He may therefore not considered to be one-sided evil spiritual power. The healing power of Christ is especially true of the astral body, which is the source of our self-healing power. According to RS are suffering and disease brought about by good forces, so that freedom and power of knowledge to be abused anymore. "Our subconscious knows. My pain is the result of my sins My pain is an educator who wants to share me the liberation of my vices is".
the purpose of good works Lucifer, if people perceive by Lucifer the light of wisdom and a sense of the beauty of the sensual world. Science and art are a gift from Lucifer, just as moral knowledge founded on insight. Without him there would be no human culture. Lucifer wanted to usher people into the sensual world, but it was not in his intentions, he at once so firmly to the material World bind, as is now the case.
In the Bible, Lucifer is symbolized by the snake that sneaks into the Paradise and the seduced people to eat from the "tree of knowledge." This man will open the senses to the outside world and aroused his sensual desires. Man was by earlier and more deeply entangled in the sensual world, as it was originally intended. As a result of the Luciferian influence the people of the direct sight of the supernatural world is removed: He is cast out of paradise. The purely spiritual being who was once a man rises, down into the sensual world, and here takes the form of physical-physical at. Because man is a material-corporeal being well, he loses his immortality and takes the original to death in his physical nature.
This segregation is a direct consequence of the Luciferian impact. The man who was no longer the pure unadulterated image of the divine nature, became divided into male and female image of the Creator intellectual powers. It began the cycle of birth and death, mankind evolved into races, tribes and nations. On the other hand, this prerequisite for the individualization of man is created. Man is self-employed; Lucifer bring individual freedom and unfortunately also the possibility to egoism.
third Ahriman
the other adversary known as Ahriman RS: He is the god of darkness and is referred to in the Bible as Satan, Mephistopheles in Goethe's Faust, from Hebrew "mephiz" (spoiler) and "Tophel" (liar). By Ahriman work darkens the man of insight into the spiritual world, he takes only the material in its true environment. Matter is the kingdom of Ahriman. Ahriman's power causes man to lose in the material world and the spiritual world as through a mist or fog will shroud. "Imagine, you look into nature, see plants, animals, people around you - and recognize only the physical. "
" Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed "the risen Christ to the unbelieving Thomas. Ahriman said the effect that the people know the spiritual world is not. His strength was reinforced with the advent of the exact sciences in 15. Ahriman century leads people to lie and error -.. newusst unconsciously as a result ahrimanic misconduct is bad karma in the form of miseries, his work is not as evil in an absolute sense to call the Ahriman can be used as sacrificial. are understood to be making a valuable contribution to the whole world development. Ahriman transform we can do if we the people living in Unity with nature and the universe to see. The healing of karma done by the Holy Spirit gives the insight of the spiritual truths and spiritual knowledge. In addition, RS Christ called the "Lord of Karma".
4th Relationship between Lucifer and Ahriman
Man thus finds in the outside world from the subject - in its interior, the conscience and the knowledge of good and evil. Lucifer is the spirit of the unsubstantial visions and illusions, which will lift the people away from the earth in its fleeting empire. Ahriman other hand, wants us to pull down in the purely material world. Alone in balance between these earth volatile Luciferian and Earth-seeking Ahrimanic forces can not find the man's true freedom.
