angel anthroposophical view
literature: "What does the angel do in our astral body, how to find the Christ ?, Zurich on 9 and 16 October 1918
first Good and evil
Rudolf Steiner (RS) describes the dialectic of good and evil so that evil is a good time shift - an originally good that develop rather than earlier in the unchanged form in a later Age of human development lasting effect. Evil can also be caused by the fact that something that would take effect only at a later age in immature form occurs too early. The struggle between good and evil is the confrontation of the ancients with the later, the old with the new. The evolution of evil requires as a necessary counterweight to the good, so that man can be free, it must give the possibility for evil. The task of the earth people is to learn that love, in freedom to choose the good. Only by balancing the two, the global goal can be achieved. The Urgeheimnis of evil is according to Dr. Steiner, the "dispute the sky, "a kind of war in the spiritual world, together.
second The man, spirit of freedom and love
We humans are in the development of animal, plant and mineral kingdom. There is a common feature with the animal kingdom, that the animals have an astral body (body sensation) to have feelings. Plants, animals and humans, all three an etheric body. He is the bearer of the lifelike world of thought, which produce the life forms of nature. It acts as a life force that sustains the processes of the organism and the metabolic products, and the water at the site in the body brings.
third Angel
Angels are beings who are directly in the hierarchy of human beings. They have no physical body, but an etheric body (invisible vital body) as the lowest creatures member. Even if they are not visible, their presence is very strong experience: each child has a guardian angel, a genius at his side. The genius is rightly known as the Higher Self and says that part of the soul that is not incarnated and resides in the spiritual world. The Angels lead us in the moral conscience by feeding our conscience with positive or negative feelings that arise our individual values and morals. In children, the guardian angel is always present at Adults, this connection is often disrupted, eg due to alcohol or drug abuse, selfishness, unconscionable act. Our conscience is replaced by the genius in the main impetus to three virtues: first
Charity
second Mental knowledge, which means that they are too intellectual and emotional development
invite third Religious freedom, ie that every love his fellow man, no matter what religion they belong
If man immoral acts against his knowledge and belief, he resisted the impulses of his angel. The angel is then, according to its RS pulses to the sleeping man enter. This has has fatal consequences: Since the astral body and I go out in bed in the body, is in the sleeping body of the only life-sustaining etheric body (which is why the Greek culture to sleep as the little brother of death referred to).
The angel that is true to the etheric body and it accomplishes its work. This work is now bringing out a completely different result. The angel is so when a person consciously decides not get close to his conscience. You can say that because people so decides, his angel will be like this. And what happened by the momentum of the angel to the human etheric body? It can not create a healthy, regulative conscience, but rather the opposite. There is evidence of instinctive, unconscious kind, and what lead unconscious Insights? RS describes three consequences: first
The Decline of charity and brotherhood reinforces the self-centeredness. By degenerate sexual forces a harmful influence reaches into the human blood, unscrupulous man, Steiner, to be "half-devil." Social degradation phenomena tend to be most dramatic increase in violence, crime, prostitution, alcohol and drug abuse in recent decades.
second When man rejects the conscious mind knowledge, there is uncontrolled technical progress: enormous machines forces are released to selfish purposes (think of nuclear power, genetic engineering, defense industries). It seems that the technology came in the 20th Century out of control. Social and environmental disasters are the direct consequences.
third Denial of the healing power of Christ leads to the materialist atheist, for example, in scientific principle, research, medicine. Man, that spiritual and highly complex system is then regarded as a kind of computer. An unhealthy lifestyle causes spiritual growth is hardly possible.
"You, my heavenly friend, you guided me to the ground will accompany
And me through the gate of death
In the Spirit home of the human soul.
You who know the way for thousands of years,
Do not let down, to illuminate me
to erkraften me or advise me
that I made the weaving fate fire
As a greater destiny vascular apparent
And let me always meet more
with the sense of the divine objectives. "
~ Rudolf Steiner
