Topic: rennes and merovingians

Hi there,

I'm new if you didn't notice.

I read the new article about Da Vinci Code on montalk and I must make a suggestion: a must read: The Tree of life and the holy grail, by Sylvia Francke and Thomas Cawthorne.
This book is very hard to find but you can try on amazon or abebooks.

The authors are involved in anthroposophical reaserch (Rudolf Steiner's spiritual science). The main thesis is that certain teutonic bloodlines preserved in their blood an ancient power coming from Atlantis (the power over the tree of life, i.e. the ethers). These became the merovingians. They had for a while to keep the secrets of the Grail and the Tree of Life. But the archangel which hovered over them left them and they still have this power in their blood. Now it turned atavistic. Some of these bloodlines betrayed their Grail mission and kept breeding in the same blood lines (the lily, 6 pointed star, representing Yave and the hebrew people, the bloodline of David). The new era of Michael which started in 1879 is cosmopolitan (the rose, 5 pointed star, of the archangel Michael, countenance of Christ). The grail bloodlines melted with the rest of humanity. But traitors kept interbreeding with themselves.

In Rennes le château, we find geographical evidences (as seen from above), that esoteric geometrical knowledge (montains forming a pentagram or a 6-pointed star) was applied to tap into etheric Gaia currents, portals linking Earth and Stars. Lots of etheric currents have been polluted by the actions of black magicians and black lodges. The author says that in Atlantis, Rennes was one of these powerful etheric geographical sites used by black magicians to incarnate and excarnate at will, creating bodies using the golden ratio and the power of gold in Birth (cristallize DNA), using a 13th zodiacal sign: The Serpent, which fits between sagittarius and scorpio. This way, they die at a certain time, to reincarnate later, bypassing the normal cycle of reincarnation.The 22 november and 17 january are timemarks of this activity (note that JFK, Aldous Huxley and C.S. Lewis died on that very same day in 1963. Sheer luck?).  Steiner then talks about ahrimanic immortality, a false etheric immortality in which the "ahrimanic initiate" (of western lodges) stays on earth in a densified ether body, bound to earth with the help of ahriman (and the ahrimanic double, the doppelganger - some say it may be reptilian, a dragon). The origins of ahrimanic etheric immortality is Atlantis (the great seduction by fallen angels andthe making of souless bodies). This knowledge of ahrimanic immortality (known to jesuits and masons of high degree) was the grat secret of Abbes Sauniere and Boudet. The strange architectural and furnitures in the church itself are hints that points to these secrets. 

Magic sexual practices aer used to tap into certain powerful ethers linked with the blood. The blood of certains families is more powerful because they retain atavistic powers in the blood itself. At certain places, such as Rennes le château, these etheric currents wich converge into space/earth portals can be tapped into. They have been used for a long time. Still today, certain french politicians (Mitterand) were fascincated with Rennes. He stayed a few hours in Rennes le chateau catacombs underground not long before dying.

You might lie to takea look at Adriana Koulias' articles: "The Grail stream and the Anti-Grail stream", and "Faith, Love and Hope as counterforces to evil".

About aliens, you must read an anthroposophical point of view: Nicolaas de Jong (UFO's : the search for truth, rality and tools for their redemption) and Patrick Steensma (UFO's: preeminent phenomena of our times).

Have a nice day and take care.

Re: rennes and merovingians

Here is an article that might interest you which is related to your post.
http://www.watch.pair.com/atlantis-rising.html

Maybe the interbreeding is to keep their evil genetic line pure??  as interesting as it is reading of these people and their hidden knowledge we can't forget that their bloodlines are responsible for most of the evil in the world.

Re: rennes and merovingians

The anti-Grail stream, according to Australian anthroposophist Adriana Koulias.
http://www.anthroposophy.org.au/sydney/Grail.htm

"The task of the Anti Grail stream is:
1. To prevent consciousness of the need for perfecting various bodily sheaths or redeeming the results of the fall, in preparation for a communion with Christ - Microcosm.
2. To prevent consciousness of the need to perfect the various bodily sheaths of the human being in order to thereby redeem nature and spiritual beings in preparation for its communion with Christ - Macrocosm.
The Anti Grail Brotherhood and the Four Anti Grail Streams
The Anti Grail Stream has four human initiates that guide it who belong to an Anti Grail Brotherhood. These initiates are well hidden. We only see their ‘pawns’ in the world arena today.

-Western Brotherhoods of the Left
Work Against The Experience of Christ in the Etheric Body as a Healing force -Shadow of the Loving Offertory - Hateful Withdrawal from Spirit.
From the West come the Brotherhoods of the Left - the Freemasons - at least some factions of them, C.F.R (Central Foreign Relations)., Round Table, the Cecil Rhodes Scholarships, the Order of Skull and Bones, and their associated political and economic instruments - who seek to unite as many human beings as possible in an ‘unconscious’ way with the material life so that in the life between death and rebirth the Etheric bodies of those souls does not dissipate but remains surrounding the earth and can be used as instruments for these powerful groups. These Etheric bodies become the vehicle by which the Anti Christ can replace the Being of the Etheric Christ. These western brotherhoods work particularly in the economic life because this is an excellent way of binding humanity to matter. Those initiated into this stream, also seek to ‘consciously’ remain in their Etheric bodies after death as a kind of Etheric immortality. They learn how to excarnate and incarnate at will through the use of an ‘illegal gate’ a northern constellation/ star sign that appears in the night sky at midsummer – or midday in the cosmic year. This is the illegal constellation of Ophiucus, the serpent handler. We can see the connection between this constellation and the earth’s kundalini in the diagram below. Ophiucus lies on the Zodiac, and is the thirteenth constellation, however, it is not recognised by Astrologers. It represents a serpent, coiled round a man's, Aesculapius', body. Aesculapius is believed to have preceded Hippocrates as an early healer who was supposed to be able to raise the dead. It deals with birth and death and the prolonging of life. Those initiated into these mysteries would live a shadowy half-life like the ring wraiths of the Lord of the Rings. They participate in ceremonial magic, rituals that originate in past epochs and are not suitable for human beings today. We see the triumvirate of Evil raise its ugly head since 2001. There are leaders in the western world that are pawns of those who govern the Western Anti Grail stream. This stream seeks to and is uniting with, the Eastern stream as did its good counterpart in the ninth century. We only need to look at how Sept 9/11 strengthened the position of many political leaders. It also increased the wealth of many Western and Eastern co-operations. Think about why there has been a question of National Security before two election campaigns in Australia both brought about by an Eastern threat. Think about how all three countries are led by parties that are being moved more and more to the right. This divides human beings, by promoting differences – Them and Us - through fear and a deep religious as well as nationalistic fervour. This works against the impulse of the Grail stream that seeks to unite human beings in their spiritual commonality by promoting the knowledge that in every human being there exists the same element of the divine and eternal.
In the lectures on the Reappearance of Christ in the Etheric, Rudolf Steiner places particular emphasis on the fact that more and more human beings will come to realise that there are forces that run from north to south. These forces can and will be misused by the Anti Grail stream and are related to impulses from the cosmic spaces that come from the sphere of particular constellations that are related also to Etheric forces that lie deep in the Earth. In particular he mentions the constellation of Gemini and Sagittarius being related to dualism – electricity, magnetism and the ‘third’ force. The impulses coming from Gemini is related to Midday and Sagittarius to midnight. The other two are Pisces and Virgo, these are related to morning and evening and can be put to the service of humanity as a healing science.

The Gemini forces, the forces of midday can be exploited by Western brotherhoods to acquire knowledge of :
1. The degenerated Father forces or mysteries of Gold of Birth or Life Ether or ‘Energy before Matter’ in its fallen form. This relates to incarnation through the manipulation of DNA, that is, through the 13th illegal sign of Ophiucus, which is The Serpent Handler, or sign that knows how to utilise the Kundalini of the earth or its fallen ethers. Through this sign Life will be created in an illegal way, that is, independent of Karma, by bypassing the forces of the twelve Zodiacs.
2. The degenerated Son Forces or fallen Chemical Ether or Magnetism - mysteries of Health – The forces of the Son in the fallen form. This knowledge can be used in vitamins and minerals, medicines that are tinged appropriately and can enable human beings to relinquish karmic illness that might lead to ‘goodness’ in another life for ‘good health’ in a bottle which is not balanced by conscious inner work and so therefore does nothing to further the evolution of the individual and his Karma.
3. The forces of degenerated Holy Spirit - fallen Light Ether or Electricity -These forces can be used to Prolong life by giving human beings who undergo special initiations of this kind an Ahrimanic immortality. The human being can Excarnate at will.
These relate as shown by the diagram, to the Etheric Kundalini of the earth. The electro - magnetic forces that work tortuously from the south up through Australia to the magnetic north pole in North America. The activity of the double or the human being’s darker side thrives on the fallen Etheric forces.
We can see how these western brotherhoods are connected with what is carried over from Australia to America from south to the north magnetic pole and how this is reflected in the political arena of today where Australia and the UK join forces with America to create an Empire.

-Eastern Lodges – Brotherhoods of the Right – Religious Fundamentalism, Islamic groups/ Bolshevism.
Work against the Experience of Christ in the Astral body
The shadow of Creed – Doubt in the Spirit
The Eastern Lodges exploit the forces that come from the region of Sagittarius. The forces of Sagittarius or archer are the forces of duality the ordinary Ego the Ego bound to the material body or matter and the higher Ego. The human being is depicted mounted on an Astral beast. These are the midnight processes. They encourage practises that are unsuitable for modern human beings, practises that use the ‘Astral Beast’ the retarded Sentient Soul which will unleash tumultuous human emotions, terrible astral forces of destruction. Terrorism is only the tip of the iceberg. Conditions are also prepared whereby that aspect of the thinking that is related to the Astral body in the Intellectual soul affects the Etheric body to enable it to become like an empty shell after death so that it can be utilised by the double. This is not an immortality experienced by initiated human beings as in the case of those experienced by members of the Western Brotherhoods but it is an immortality experienced by the Double who should leave the human body at death. Scores of human doubles remain attached to the earth in these Etheric shells in particular near those areas where these Luciferic initiations take place. Together they will form a Physical Etheric and Astral body, for the Subsuprahuman double into which the ego of Ahriman can incarnate in order to avert attention from the Etheric Christ.
It is also the task of these brotherhoods of the Eastern stream to prevent Eastern Europe from developing the Sixth Cultural Epoch. The Mafia in Russia and the Terrorists as well as the Government work towards this end. We see this erupt in the problem of Chechnya, which has not only led to terrible terrorist acts, but also the slow decay of civil rights. Recently the Russian president has abolished elections for the lower house stating terrorism as his reason. This is only the beginning.

-The southern Anti Grail Stream – Jesuits, Catholics, Opus Dei
Work against the Experience of Christ in the Will / Spiritualised Physical body
Shadow of Transubstantiation/ Spiritual transformation – Fear of the Spirit
This is the Stream of the Jesuits , Opus Dei and Catholicism. Initiates into this stream learn through certain exercises to extinguish the individual ego in the will. The Jesuits seek the eradication of all knowledge concerning Christ replacing it with knowledge of the human Jesus only. Today this stream works most strongly through Opus Dei which extends its influence into the world by recruiting lay men. It penetrates all levels of government and society through recruitment. It cultivates power, an attitude of authority and is patronised by the Vatican and is permeated by the spirit of Jesuitism .
The northern Anti grail stream – Future
Work against the experience of Christ in the Spiritualised Ego
Shadow of Communion –Separation from the Spirit
This stream seeks to unite the ego with the physical body so that it loses its connection with the spirit and the consciousness soul which is driven down and become fused with physicality cannot accept the Spirit Self or the Christ into the chalice so that there is no communion with the Christ being and human beings become automata – The retarded Spirits of Form or Asuras are responsible for inspiring this stream.

My very talented son recently wrote a thesis on America’s involvement in Cambodia and Vietnam and some of his insights are truly remarkable.
He came to the conclusion that Governments can use ideals that are outwardly opposite to their own ideology in order to create a power base. In this model a Capitalist can use Terrorism in order to secure Autocratic leadership and visa versa. In this case both Economic Capitalism (West) and Religious Fundamentalism ( East) start out at opposite ends of the spectrum however as they move more and more to the extreme- one or the other they lead to one and the same thing, Autocracy and Dictatorship. Each time a revolution, war or threat is needed in order to create an atmosphere of Oppression, be it Economic, Social or religious. If we use this model in the present context when we look at the Anti Grail streams we can see how east and west arrive at autocracy and dictatorship by working together – in a similar way to how the legitimate East and West Grail streams came together in the ninth century. We are seeing the fruits now of the unification of the Anti Grail stream in the event of September 11th.

§ Left wing Terrorism moves to the right and leads to Economic Repression.
§ Right wing Economic Repression moves to the left and leads to Terrorism.
§ Left Wing Religious Repression moves to the left and inspires Nationalistic tendencies
§ Right Wing Nationalism moves further to the right and leads to Religious Repression
In each case the pendulum swings and each time there is a loss of Egohood.
Culture is the only thing that can balance out the two extremes and realise the aims of Rudolf Steiner by providing a third pillar in a Christened Three Fold Social Order. But culture is being attacked from both sides in an attempt to prevent a ‘meeting in the middle’.

The Black Lodge and its Five Supersensible Guardians of the Anti Grail
The Anti Grail streams and the Anti Grail Brotherhood of Black Magicians is inspired by higher beings that belong to a Black Lodge whose twelve archangelic members oppose the work of the twelve Bodhisattvas and seek directly to prevent the Holy Spirit from being reflected towards humanity for an understanding of the Christ being. Beyond these there are five higher beings that inspire this Black Lodge and directly oppose the five Supersensible Guardians of the Grail.
Sorath Sun Demon retarded Spirit of Motion – Opposes Michael and the Cosmic Intelligence concerning the experience of the Consciousness of Christ in the Spiritualised Ego in the Sphere of Sun as a Star.
Sorath works to undermine the cosmic intelligence of Christ or the knowledge concerning the consciousness of the rebirth of Christ within man. Michael is a Time spirit and therefore an Archai, however because of his renunciation in his ascent as we discussed last week he is an Archai who has the capacities of a spirit of Form. He works as we have stated in the sphere of the Sun as a Star or Higher Devachan. He has, therefore since his Ascent. been directly opposed by Sorath who as Sun Demon is a backward Spirit of Motion or a Spirit of Motion working as a Spirit of From. Through his agents, that is beings that are lower in rank such as Lucifer, Ahriman and most importantly through Asuras he works to bring about a binding of the human Ego to the Physical body, to materiality so that it loses its connection with the spiritual and cannot therefore, spiritualise the Ego for the communion with the Ego of Christ. He will work to create a race of human beings that have no Egos a ‘Sorathic Race’ or race of ‘Christ refusers’ that will oppose the ‘Michaelic Race’ of Christ ‘receivers’ - Anthroposophists. He inspires the northern Anti Grail Stream of the future.
Asuras Retarded Spirit of Form - Opposes Raphael and the work of the Spiritualised Ego as Spirit Self through the Materialisation of the Consciousness Soul - In the Sphere of Sun as a Planet.
Asuras fell behind on old Saturn and have the capacities of Spirits of Form through they work as Archais. They work therefore from the Sphere of the Sun as planet, in the realm of the Will through all that brings about a materialisation of the Consciousness Soul, which results in its inability to rise upwards to the Spirit Self. They are the inspirational force behind exercises that abolishes or paralyses the will (Demonised initiation of Will) by the Jesuits, Opus Dei, and Catholicism. Through the Asuras does the Being of Christ become only a physical Jesus. Asuras inspires the South Anti Grail Stream and is directly opposed to the Templar stream.
Ahriman Retarded spirit of Personality - Archai – directly opposes the Celtic folk soul –- and the experience of the Consciousness of Christ in the Spiritualised Etheric Body in the Sphere of the Planets - Esoteric Christianity.

Ahriman is an Archangelic being that has the powers of an Archai. He fell behind during the Sun incarnation of the earth. He works Macrocosmically from the sphere of Planets against the spiritualisation of the Etheric body by two means:
1. Subconsciously: Through Materialistic thinking which descends to the Etheric body by way of the Intellectual Soul. This materialistic thinking is brought about through, Alcohol, television, movies, rap music, sexual perversion, commercialism, wealth at the expense of others (stock exchange), loss of civil rights and materialistic science and its laws. This materialisation of the Etheric body results in hatred for all spiritual things. After death the Etheric bodies of these hardened human beings stay attached to the earth.
2. Consciously: Through esoteric exercises taught in Occult Brotherhoods (Black Magic). This results in a kind of Etheric immortality.
Such Etheric bodies do not allow for the consciousness of Christ to light up in them.
They cause an occult clouding after death, that is they will pollute the spiritual horizon over which the Etheric Christ can be seen in the Astral world. In this way will Christ be replaced by the Subsuprahuman Ahrimanic double in the Etheric sphere.
In the microcosmic sense Ahriman will incarnate into an ego-less human being. It will be his task to prepare humanity for the pseudo incarnation of Sorath through the vehicle of the Anti Christ. He inspires the Western Anti Grail Stream and directly opposes Manicheanism
Lucifer retarded Archangel – directly Opposes Vidar/Ramael and the Supersensible experience of the consciousness of Christ in the Spiritualised Astral body Through illusion and Fear in the Sphere of the Moon.
Lucifer is an Angel that stayed behind during the Moon Evolution of the earth and so now has the capacities of an Archangel. He opposes the new clairvoyance that will enable human beings to see and commune with the Etheric Christ in the Astral world, by way of terror, Fear, religious fundamentalism, an Us and Them Xenophobia which leads to Genocide/Nationalistic Fundamentalism. All of it averts human attention from conscious work on the Astral body. Human beings who barely survive, who are afraid, have no schooling, who have no food are not in a position to work on spirituality. Lucifer also works through the dissemination of old forms of esotericism the Fenris Wolf (Yoga, Buddhism, séances, spiriticism etc) not appropriate to modern human beings. These old degenerated forms of clairvoyance will lead to a blinding to the Christ consciousness in the Astral body. He inspires the Eastern Grail Stream and opposes the work of the Rosicrucians.
Subsuprahuman Etheric Double - Directly opposes the Nathan Soul and the Fifth Sacrifice, the Supersensible Experience of Christ that will occur by way of the Higher Ethers - From the Etheric Sphere.
The Subhuman Etheric Double is that being that is created from the aggregate of degenerated Thoughts, Feelings and Will of all human beings.
After the fall a part of the unfallen Etheric forces Sound and Life Ethers were protected and guarded in Spiritual Worlds by the Nathan Soul. This means that a part of man remained inaccessible to him, this is more precisely the physical and Etheric bodies and that part of the Astral body that is concerned with the will. Into those parts that have been unconscious or inaccessible to human beings, is vulnerable invasion by supersensible beings. Lucifer resides in the Astral body in the Sentient Soul or life of feelings and Ahriman in the Intellectual soul as well as that part of the Etheric body that he can access through thought, memory. You may know from my lecture earlier this year that the higher ethers have their counterparts in the Sub Earthly sphere. We know that these fallen Ethers are connected also with man’s own Etheric body and soul inasmuch as the soul affects the Etheric body in a positive or negative way. Rudolf Steiner tells us that
“The Evolution of our planet is intimately connected with the forces of humanity and civilizations” 
The majority of the Etheric body and physical body which man cannot access with clear consciousness is the home of a double of man that is made up of these fallen Etheric forces of the earth, that is energy before matter (Power behind the Atom ?Anti Matter), Magnetism and Electricity. These have entered into man and that aspect of his Astral body that the double accesses through the will; doubt, hate and fear. The aggregate of the individual doubles of human beings forms one subsuprahuman double which will provide a vehicle for the Macrocosmic incarnation of Ahriman as a subsuprahuman double. It will work in the Etheric sphere in direct opposition to the work of the Nathan Soul and will attempt to sabotage the manifestation of the Christ in the Astral world in an Etheric form.

The misuse in the past of Etheric activity is said to have caused the destruction of Lemuria and Atlantis and access to these fallen forces in Sicily is said to be behind the power of Klingsor; and the old Castle Marveil or that place where all the beings reside that oppose the Grail Stream. What in our time then is the earthly equivalent of the Castle Marveil?
The present day Chastel Marveil.
There are places in Europe that are particularly exposed to the above-mentioned fallen ethers in particular from those of the old Atlantean continent. These forces have found their way to the surface through the movement of the earth’s crust. Pagan Temples were erected over them in ancient times eg where now stands Chartres Cathedral, Lourdes, Dornarch where stands the Goetheanum, Montsegur where the last of the Cathars were destroyed, Sicily the home of Klingsor the terrible magician , Cellydon wood where resided Merlin, and Lockenhaus in Austria where the last of the Templars perished and where Rudolf Steiner places his Templars in his four mystery plays. The Templars and others who guarded the Grail, Christianised and ennobled these places by erecting churches over them. This ennoblement is symbolised by the fact that the Ethers – associated with the Female principle, that is the fallen ethers associated with Rhea, Demeter, Persephone the old forces of Saturn Sun and Moon that is Energy before the Atom, Magnetism and Electricity are Christianised in their Christian counterparts the Black Madonna, Mary Magdalene, Virgin Mary that is: Life Ether, Chemical Ether and Light Ether. We must not forget that the Nathan soul – that has a feminine quality is the embodiment of the Ethers not affected by the fall.

Certain areas are known for certain Etheric forces. Some have especially strong energies due to the geography of the landscape i.e.; proximity to the fault lines or to granites that have been thrust from out of the depths of the earth.
Rudolf Steiner tells us that America is the location of Old Atlantis. In American soil is preserved the retarded forces that brought the destruction of Atlantis and is especially connected to the forces of the double.
Australia once Lemuria, has within its soil a preserved memory of the retarded forces that destroyed the Lemurian civilization and are especially connected to the forces of the double.
Rudolf Steiner tells us that these forces are especially related to the human will and so are pacified by a self-less will striving to do good “…when human will is devoid of egoism it is able to appease this fire” 
Wherever human beings however live a selfish materialistic life this works right down into the Earthly Ethers and into the Ether that surrounds the earth, volcanoes, violent storms and other terrible natural catastrophes are the result.
The Anti Grail streams utilise the knowledge concerning these fallen Ethers and their influence on man and visa versa in order to execute their plan to prevent the down pouring of the consciousness of Christ into the individual in order that he or she can at the same time redeem the fallen forces of the earth.
These Anti Grail impulses were disseminated in the past from centres such as Gondi Shapur in Persia home of Harum Al Rashid and Terra Labur home of Klingsor.
In modern times there are many centres from which comes the work of the Brotherhoods of the left or the Western brotherhoods and the Brotherhoods of the South Catholicism, Jesuitism and Opus Dei one such place is Rennes le Chateau.
Rennes le Chateau is a small village of less than a hundred people. It came to the attention of the world through a book written by Gerard de Sede which explored the story of the Abbe Berenger Sauniere, the town priest who despite earning very little was able to spend thousands renovating the town church, building a guest house he called Villa Bethany and a tour he named after Mary Magdalene which he called Tour Magdala. Through Mary Magdalene we have the connection with the Chemical ether.
He is said to have tampered with the church in the renovations, placing an altar upside down, reversing known religious symbols such as the Alpha and Omega that usually belong to Christ and John the Baptist. Templar symbols as well as hermetic symbols abound as well as a water stoup held up by Rex Mundus the king of the earth – Ahriman. There is in fact a striking resemblance between this Ahriman and Rudolf Steiner’s Ahriman. The Villa Bethany – Bethany being where Lazarus was raised is where his housekeeper found the Abbe dying of a stroke, despite the fact that this was only his guest’s quarters and he lived in the priori. Also two days before his death he had been in good health, despite this, his servant ordered a coffin to be delivered two days later, the very day that he became ill. He is said to have been involved with a neo Templar group that called itself the Priori de Sion. The Priori de Sion is only the outer face of the western brotherhoods that, in conjunction with the Jesuit order of Opus Dei, managed to infiltrate anti Christian impulses into the world. It also points to the conscious Etheric immortality which we discussed earlier, in which the Etheric body does not dissipate but hardens and materialises, effectively imprisoning the human being in the earth’s surrounds. This points to the great Anti Grail mystery of incarnating and excarnating at will through the thirteenth Zodiac Ophiucus or Serpent handler
The story of this Abbe was picked up by three journalists who produced a small television series that sparked off a book which explores the connection that existed between the Abbe Berenger Sauniere and the Priori de Sion and its connections with the Templars, Cathars, the Merovingian dynasty and the supposed blood line of the Grail. Concluding that the Grail was nothing more than a pedigree that could be traced back to Christ’s survival of the Crucifixion and his subsequent marriage to Mary Magdalene, a blood-line which continued through the Merovingian kings of France and later the royal houses of Europe.
This may seem laughable, and far-fetched but it has left an indelible mark on the world today, inspired by the Jesuits who seek to turn Christ into Jesus and the Western Brotherhoods who seek to undermine the manifestation of the Etheric Christ.
This small village went on to spawn numerous books that explored this same theme.
There are people who have read these books and have been known to become Atheists because of them. Certainly it completely pushes aside the Mystery of Golgotha and replaces the Divinity of Christ with a human Jesus that did not die on the Cross. It is interesting to note that of late the hoax perpetrated on the public by the false documents which started everything the documents of the Priori de Sion has now been discovered and the connection between this ‘made up’ order and the Jesuits as well as Opus dei have been revealed.
We see how the Anti Grail Streams of the west and south work from this centre inspiring books that promote Doubt and Hatred of the Mystery of Golgotha while at the same time the world is brought to a condition where it is racked by war, and terror that promotes Fear by the initiates of the Anti Grail Stream of the East and West.
Doubt, Hatred, and Fear are the work of the four Anti Grail Streams and its five Supersensible Guardians, Sorath, Asuras, Ahriman, Lucifer and the Subsuprahuman double in direct opposition to Faith, Love and Hope the work of the new Grail Mystery Stream and its five supersensible guardians, Michael, Raphael, Celtic Folk Soul, Vidar/Ramael, and the Nathan Soul. However things don’t always go as planned for the Anti Grail Stream not so long ago it sought to bring a materialised form of ‘spirit’ into the world through ‘spiritism’ but this backfired and only fuelled the desire that humanity had for what lay beyond the senses. Negatives can be turned into positives. The dispelling of dogma that has been the result of these books, the revelation of the possibility that what we hear and see may not be the truth can be utilised for the good. This can lead to an opening through which real truths can be expounded. War and Terror, and personal grief can also lead to questioning of what is right and what is wrong and the creation of a groundswell of compassion for others a courage to seeking for truth, beauty and goodness, a return to faith, love and hope.
Anthroposophists are in a position to become vanguards, to participate in the workings of the new Mysteries of the Grail inaugurated by Rudolf Steiner at the Christmas Foundation Meeting. In this way we are not passive, but we become participants in the New Science of the Grail, which has united all former Grail Streams into one – Anthroposophy - and seeks to unite the world. These renewed mystery streams guard the secret of man’s spiritual development in readiness for a communion with the Christ Being which is possible in our time. But we must not become unguarded, we must also at the same time become sentinels whose task it is to be awake and aware of what the Anti Grail Stream seeks to achieve in the world around us. We must do this not only for ourselves, for the sake of our own development but for the sake of those less conscious and therefore unable to see the truth. We have to part the fog that lies over the happenings in the world around us to…see things as they are. One can only see things as they are, however, when one is in the position of applying to reality the concepts, the ideas, that emerge from an Anthroposophically oriented spiritual science.
Then we shall have to ask the question, we shall not be like the young man of Sais, we must be like Parzifal: Who most benefits from this? You will often be surprised at the answers."


It's one of the best reference I found.

Other references coming up later.

Re: rennes and merovingians

Also from Adriana Koulias: Faith Love and Hope as a Counterforce to Evil:

"Part I:  The Mystery of Evil: Doubt, Hate and Fear. The Double and the Superdouble and the incarnation of the Antichrist

Spiritual Science teaches us  that the task of Evil is to promote the ascent of man. Evil we are told resides both in us and in the outside world and is a necessary force in the perfection and liberation of the human being through the overcoming of hindrance and temptation.

This may seem a little strange at first, but in the same way we know that something is sweet because it is not sour and cold because we know hot, the freedom to unfold new forces and higher capacities could not have been possible had humanity remained always subject to higher spiritual powers who are only capable of knowing good. 

The experience of Evil has given humanity a look a both sides and in this experience lies the secret of freedom and independence . That is, by directing its gaze away from worlds of spirit towards the world of physical matter humanity would one day be able to discern for itself in freedom the difference between Good and Evil.

So you might ask the question: what do we do when we discover the difference? Do we root out all evil – as we are called on to do by many of the political voices of today? To believe that you should root out evil is about the same as saying that we should do away with gravity and have only levity. This way of thinking is based solely on dualism and creates more evil again. But how can we ignore it? What is the answer? Rudolf Steiner tells us that the answer lies in Balance, for opposing forces are necessary for our evolution, without them as we have seen above, we would not have been able to progress.

How then do we find a balance?

Rudolf Steiner tells us that the balance exits in the Being of Christ and that it is through Him, and following the middle way that we can begin to redeem evil.

In the past man has been guided from external sources, that is, from church, priest and the law to know evil, but in our Epoch of the Consciousness Soul, we are called on to have a free, inner knowledge and conviction concerning evil as a principle task,   to the extent that we can prepare for the coming sixth epoch.
Tonight we will explore the mysteries of Evil as they were known to mystery schools of ancient times, made appropriate for today’s humanity by Rudolf Steiner. We will explore evil on a macrocosmic and microcosmic level, that is, we will investigate the cosmic origins and existence of

1.    Luciferic beings – Lucifer - Devil
2.    Ahrimanic beings – Ahriman - Satan
3.    Asuric beings – Asuras 

Also, we will learn how they manifest within the microcosm of man paying particular attention to their influence on the development of Fear, Hatred and Doubt in preparation for the incarnation of the Ahriman in our present Post Atlantean age. This incarnation will pave the way for another being,

4.    The Antichrist – Sorath – The Beast

who will attempt to replace the most important supersensible event of our Epoch  - the manifestation of Christ - with his own physical manifestation on earth. Next week we will look at how we must go about redeeming evil through the Christ impulse working through the being of Anthroposophia and her physical manifestation on earth the Anthroposophical society.         
What is Evil?

Rudolf Steiner tells us that the forces that appear at the wrong place appear as evil.  What does this mean? In order to answer this question a study of Rudolf Steiner’s cosmic evolution of the earth is necessary.

Rudolf Steiner calls the first rudimentary earthly aeon ‘Old Saturn’ in which the physical body of human beings was first elaborated. The second aeon is called ‘Old Sun’ where the human Etheric body was first elaborated. The third aeon is called ‘Old Moon’ where the human Astral body was elaborated. On Earth humanity has received its individual ‘Ego’ and become ‘Human’.

Human Beings:

Old Saturn – Physical Body – Mineral like
Old Sun – Etheric Body – Plant like
Old Moon – Astral Body – Animal like
Earth – Ego – Spirit

While humanity was passing through the condition of mineral, plant and animal other beings were undergoing their own evolution and their own ‘human’ stage. On ‘Old Saturn’ beings three stages higher than man - the Archai - were passing through their ‘human’ stage. On the ‘Old Sun’ those beings two stages higher than man from the rank of beings known as Archangels were undergoing their human stage and on the ‘Old Moon’, Rudolf Steiner tells us that Angels, only one stage higher than man, were undergoing their ‘human’ stage.

Old Saturn – Archai – Human stage
Old Sun – Archangels – Human stage
Old Moon – Angels – Human stage
Earth – Man – Human stage

This evolution however was only true for those beings that were able to reach the goal set before them. Those who fell short or could not rise to the task were left behind and had to make up for what they could not achieve ‘normally’ in their own time, at a future aeon. These beings suffer a great deal when they try to continue their evolution at a time when conditions are not suited to them as this means they have to work within incredible restrictions. The only way for these beings to alleviate their suffering is to step out of bounds, to overstep the boundaries  created by their retardation. This ‘overstepping’ can be seen as a hindrance to human beings for it occurs in the realm where humans are now developing their egos on Earth. This hindrance is what Rudolf Steiner refers to as ‘evil’.

We will put aside for a moment the fact that these beings sacrificed themselves in this way so that human beings might develop through overcoming the hindrances that they cause, for this would lead us too far from our present topic. We will continue however, by saying that there are three kinds of Spirits of Opposition who fell behind and they are named after their respective leaders:


Asuric beings – Fell behind on Saturn – Fallen Spirits of Form working as Archais
Ahrimanic beings – Fell behind on Sun – Fallen Archai working as Archangels
Luciferic beings – Fell behind on Moon –Fallen archangels working as angels


The Asuric beings make a particular endeavour to penetrate the physical body of man as this sphere relates to the sphere that was being elaborated on Old Saturn when these beings were developing their ‘human stage’ and fell behind.

The Ahrimanic beings desire to work in the Etheric body of human beings as this is the sphere that was being elaborated on Old Sun when these beings were developing their ‘human stage’
The Luciferic beings feel most at home in the Astral body of human beings as this relates to what was being elaborated on Old Moon when these beings fell behind.

In these respective bodies these spirits find an opportunity for their own development.

In the soul of human beings these ‘tempters’ or spirits of hindrance can be found:

In the three body members:
1.    Astral body – Lucifer - Lemuria
2.    Etheric body – Ahriman - Atlantis
3.    Physical body – Asuras – Present Post Atlantean Epoch
In the Soul members:
1.    Sentient soul – Lucifer - Egypt
2.    Intellectual soul – Ahriman – Greco Roman
3.    Consciousness soul   - Asuras – Anglo Germanic
In the Ego:
1.    Sorath – in future times.

Lucifer began his approach on the human Astral body in the Lemurian Epoch of Earth evolution   through the nerves and senses and slipped into the unconscious elaboration of the ego on the Astral body, which produced the Sentient Soul.

Ahriman made his foray into the human being during the Atlantean Epoch of Earth evolution and found a suitable influence on the Etheric body through the Intellectual soul that is the unconscious elaboration by the ego on the Etheric body.

Asuras have been making their approach towards humanity only since our Epoch into the soul faculty that results from the unconscious elaboration of the physical body, the Consciousness soul.   

But there is another being. This being ‘the beast from the Abyss’ as the Apocalypse calls him had fallen behind in an epoch prior to Old Saturn and does not belong to Earthly evolution. Nevertheless he inhabits the sun and is known by the Greeks as the Sun Demon Sorath. He works contrary to the ‘Intelligence’ of the Sun as a fallen Elohim and therefore works contrary to the Sun being the divinity of Christ. His number is 666 (six being the number that denotes imperfection) and will only enter directly into the human evolution through the three categories of beings - three sets of sixes. 

Spiritual Science recognises the task of this being Sorath in our 5th Post Atlantean Epoch as that of co-ordinating the three streams of evil against the healthy development of humanity, in preparation for the incarnation of Ahriman who will attempt to distort the second coming in the Astral world of Christ in Etheric garment. This second coming began in the middle of last century and will continue until the 6th Epoch. It is imperative that a clear wide-awake consciousness concerning the workings of evil in the world be developed. It is the first and foremost task of Anthroposophy today to lead humanity in this task in the 5th Epoch as a preparation for the future. 

Sorath’s Attacks on Humanity:

Sorath can be seen working into human evolution since the seventh century. The first onslaught on humanity occurred in 666 AD, three hundred and thirty three years after the middle of the Greco Roman epoch (333) through the establishment of the Academy of Gondhishapur. Created through a co-operation of Luciferic and Ahrimanic spirits this Academy sought to bring about a consciousness soul impulse ahead of time in order to Ahrimanise the Consciousness soul - a soul member that we are only developing in our present epoch. This would have prevented the proper development of the Spirit Self and as a result, affected the development of the other two higher members Life Spirit and Spirit Man. Jesus was born 333 years before the middle of the Greco Roman epoch – his future sacrifice as Christ Jesus in 33 AD counter balanced what was to occur in 666.

Another onslaught came in the form of the complete and utter destruction of the Templar order. The Cathars, whose Manichean knowledge concerning good and evil stood in opposition to Sorath’s goals were also hunted down, tortured and burnt. Their spiritual cousins the Templars whose task of inaugurating a ‘Christened’ social order in preparation for the 6th Epoch were incarcerated tortured made to confess to despicable crimes and murdered. The Order was abolished through the co-operation of Pope Clement (possessed by a Luciferic spirit) and Philip king of France (possessed by an Ahrimanic Spirit). In our times the above two attacks, the establishment of the Academy of Gondishapur and the destruction of the Cathars and the Templar order have been greatly strengthened by the entry of a new being in the service of the Sun Demon, Asuras who wishes to destroy humanity’s connection with the Ego through the Consciousness or Spiritual soul.  It is the action of all three categories of beings: Luciferic, Ahrimanic and Asuric in the service of Sorath that resulted in the reflection of the above two attacks in Bolshevism (Gondishapur) and Nazism (Destruction of Templar order)  - National Socialism. The development of secret lodges over and against the impulse of Rosicrucianism and the rise of Jesuitism in opposition to the Grail impulses have been other incursions into the development of the human spirit.

A third manifestation of Sorath through the three streams of evil has already begun (1998) and will find its culmination in the near future seeking to materialise the human ego. It is important today in the 21st century to know how these three streams of evil guided by a fourth present themselves in the human being, the outer world and in the cosmos

The Three Streams of Evil in the Human Being.
The human being is not so insular as he may imagine. In every breath, in every perception, in every intake of food, in every sensation, thought and act of will human beings are accompanied by beings of a spiritual nature.  We have seen how Luciferic and Ahrimanic beings have entered into the human soul during evolution, and it is a fact that they live side by side with  elemental beings (detachments of higher beings) and higher beings that regulate our Physical, Etheric and Astral bodies.

The divine powers or the first hierarchy are connected to our physical bodies and the will forces in our souls, the solar hierarchy or the 2nd hierarchy have more to do with our Etheric bodies and the feeling forces in the soul, the third hierarchy is more connected to the Astral body and the thinking forces in the soul.  Therefore Angels as representatives of the third hierarchy in the soul have to do with thinking. Archangels as representatives of the 2nd hierarchy in the soul have to do with feeling. Archais as representatives of the first hierarchy in the soul have more to do with the will.

Apart from the higher and lower spiritual beings that have access to the human body and soul there are also offspring of higher hierarchies (detachments) these are the elemental beings that weave in and out of our physical bodies, in all our physical and soul processes. We will not go into this too deeply, suffice to say that the moral disposition of a human being is of the greatest importance to the above beings, since their own evolution is dependant upon it. If a man is moral then insofar as he is, he can liberate these beings so that they may progress to higher stages of existence. If a human being is not moral then he traps good elemental beings in his various sheaths and these beings become the prey (because they have no ego) of beings of opposition. Under the yoke of the opposing beings the elemental spirits become Ahrimanic, Luciferic or Asuric according to their disposition and where they have a scene of action,   and become detached from the human being as demons, ghosts and spectres.

Rudolf Steiner tells us that we create three beings  that become a part of us throughout our lives. The Luciferic element allowed to take root in the thinking, inasmuch as it is connected to the Astral body  and the Astral realm of angels, creates a beast or double of ‘Doubt’. Doubt in spiritual things prevents humanity from creatively working in knowledge  and leads to fantasy and illusion.

The Ahrimanic element allowed to take root in the feeling inasmuch as it is connected to the Etheric body and lower Devachanic realm of the Archangels creates a ‘beast’ or double of Hatred, which prevents human beings from working in love towards spiritual ends, this leaves the soul hollow.

The Asuric element in our will inasmuch as it is connected to the physical body and therefore the Higher Devachanic realm of the Archai leads to the creation of a beast or double of Fear or cowardice when it comes to the creative spiritual ‘being’, which leaves human beings vulnerable to attacks from earthly forces.


The Earthly Ethers and the Double

The effect of the above beings of opposition on the Astral body, Etheric body and physical body weakens them, leaving the human being vulnerable to negative earthly forces.

In the same way that retarded beings influence the creation of retarded soul forces so too do negative Etheric energies that exist in the world influence the creation of retarded Etheric forces in the human being. 
A combination of retarded forces created by the influence of retarded beings in the Physical, Etheric and Astral bodies and the retarded or degenerated Etheric energies that create retarded Etheric forces in the human being, these various doubles or shadow forces can be said to collectively form one being that Spiritual Science calls the personal ‘double’ or doppelganger. He forms, according to Rudolf Steiner, a part of the ‘Lesser Guardian of the Threshold’ whose existence in us from birth to death bars our spiritual progress:

‘…There arises the phenomenon known as the Guardian of the Threshold – the appearance of the lower double of man. The spiritual being of man, composed of his impulses of will, his desires and his thoughts, appears to the Initiate in visible form. It is a form that is sometimes repugnant and terrible, for it is the offspring of his good and bad desires and of his karma – it is their personification in the astral world…’
Put another way we may say that the influence of Ahriman, Lucifer, and Asuras on the being of man cause there to arise: beings of doubt hatred and fear of the spiritual in the Astral body, the Etheric body and in the Physical body and that this attracts forces that help to create and maintain a collective personal double, one and the same as that being that Rudolf Steiner calls the Lesser Guardian of the Threshold, that becomes apparent to us as soon as we enter the spiritual world as a separate entity that is at once composed of the three beasts of our creation and also separate from them. See Above image, called "The Doppelganger" from a drawing made by Rudolph Steiner for a stained glass window. It depicts the serpentine nature of the double showing the 7 Chakras. He comes from a crack in the earth, delineating his connection to the degenerated earthly forces.  The human being sitting on the mountaintop of objectivity must send out beneficent spiritual forces to heal and transform the double.

Rudolf Steiner Characterises these beasts or doubles to imaginative consciousness:

The double or beast of doubt is red and has a glassy eye
The double or beast of  hatred is spotted yellow and bares his teeth
The double or beast of fear is blue and has a bony mind

It is this third being that lies in our will and therefore our physical bodies that make us especially vulnerable to earthly forces and allows their entry into the human being.

The Three Streams of Evil in the Macrocosmic World

Rudolf Steiner tells us that what forms a part of the inner man during life becomes the outer world after death, we can call this a law of ‘Inversion’:

“At first, man has within him what he later sees around him…All that lives today in the inner being of man, his thoughts, his feelings, will find expression in the outer world and become his surroundings. The future lies within man.”   

We can therefore say that human beings are instrumental in creating the outer world or cosmos, through inner work or lack thereof.

Having this in mind we will proceed in our exploration of the connection that exists between the double of man and the fallen ethers.


What are the fallen ethers?
After the ‘fall’ when Adam ate from the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge or became a conscious being, through the entry of Lucifer into his Astral body, it was deemed that humanity should only retain knowledge of the Warmth and Light Ethers, the other two; Sound and Life Ethers were protected and guarded in spiritual worlds (Tree of Life) lest they become the prey of retarded forces. Rudolf Steiner tells us that we have the physical world, the astral world, Lower Devachan and Higher Devachan. There is also what Rudolf Steiner calls the sub-physical world;

When light Ether decays and is thrust down into the sub-material world, a stage deeper than the material world – electricity arises. Light therefore finds its reflection in the substratum of the earth in Electricity. In man this has its counterpart in Thinking.
When Chemical Ether decays and is driven down beneath the physical plane into the evil Devachanic world – magnetism arises. Sound finds its reflection in the substratum of the earth as magnetism. In man this has its counterpart in Feeling.
If what lives in higher Devachan as Life Ether decays and is thrust down further still, into the province of the Asuras, what arises is characterised by Rudolf Steiner as ‘an even more terrible force – which it will not be possible to keep hidden very much longer’. The realm of the Atom. He goes on to say,
‘It can only be hoped that when this force comes to be known – a force we must conceive as being far, far stronger than the most violent electrical discharge – it can only be hoped that before some discoverer gives this force into the hands of humankind, men will no longer have anything immoral left in them.’ 
Life Ether has its counterpart, its reflection in the substratum of the earth in a kind of radioactivity. In man this has its counterpart in the human will.

Fallen and materialised thoughts - doubt in spirit
Fallen materialised feelings - hatred of the spirit
Fallen materialised will - fear of the spirit

The above fallen thoughts feelings and will, use and intensify the fallen ethers in the same way that the spiritualised thoughts and feelings and will,  use and add to the ‘higher ethers’.   
Therefore we can say that the fallen forces in man (the double) are especially strengthened by coming into contact with their counterpart in the outer world, and that the degenerated Etheric forces in the world are greatly strengthened by coming into contact with their counterpart in man.

Why has this fall or degeneration occurred?

As we have seen what was once out in the cosmos can at another time be found in the microcosm and visa versa. This relates directly to what we find on earth as remnants of what was present in the earth’s surroundings during the different evolutionary stages of the Earth.

What remains of old Saturn forces – Life Ether is now found in the core of the earth in a degenerated form as the power of the Atom ( more powerful than nuclear power).

What remains of old Sun Forces – Sound or Chemical Ether is found at another inner level of the earth in a degenerated form as the power of magnetism.

What remains of the old Moon Forces – Light Ether is found at a higher level again and is the closest to the earth’s surface in a degenerated form as the power of electricity.

Rudolf Steiner tells us that in every age of the earth there are two phases of physical development, the generative and the degenerative. In the first half of Earthly evolution the Polarian, Hyperborean, and Lemurian, the physical substances of the earth were undergoing a generative phase or a process of generation very similar to the human being up to his thirty-fifth year. After that in our present Post Atlantean epoch and the succeeding two epochs there begins a degeneration. In Atlantean times there was an equilibrium of degenerative and generative forces, during Lemurian times the forces that would become electricity  and were present in the earth from the times of old Moon were undergoing a generative phase, in Hyperborean times the old Sun forces of magnetism were undergoing a generation, and in Polarian times the Saturnine forces that would one day surface as the power of the Atom were undergoing a generation. During our own Post Atlantean Epoch (a reflection of Lemurian times) electricity has emerged as a form of the decaying moon forces of Light and in future times though already begun in our times ie; Hyperborean Epoch reflected in the 6th Post Atlantean Epoch the old Sun forces of decaying Chemical or Sound Ether will emerge more and more as the power of Magnetism and in the Polarian Epoch the degeneration or decay of Life Ether will emerge more intensely than ever as the power of the Atom (all that causes a splitting up a destruction of the ‘whole’) that will in the 7th Post Atlantean age finally destroy the earth. 

However as this physical aspect is generating and degenerating so to does the spiritual aspect descend and ascend.  So that in the fifth sixth seventh epochs the counter forces of these fallen ethers will need to be cultivated in order to raise humanity collectively from its 35th year onwards to an ascent toward the spirit.

The extent to which humanity does or does not achieve this task will determine the conditions that will be made possible for, on the one hand the physical manifestation of the Antichrist and on the other, the spiritual incarnation of the Christ being.

How does this relate to the Sub-Suprahuman double Ahriman?

In our own 5th  Post Atlantean Cultural Epoch there occurs a similar curve on a microcosmic level. At the beginning of this Post Atlantean Epoch the Indian Epoch there was a reflection of the physical generation of ether forces until the Greco Roman Epochs - the mystery of Golgotha. If not for the mystery of Golgotha mankind would not have been able to climb upwards to the spirit due to an increasing influence on man from the degenerative forces of electricity, magnetism and the power of the Atom. These would have gained the upper hand. Christ however, descended into the Plutonian depths on Easter Saturday that is, into the sub nature of the earth and there ‘fettered’ Ahriman and Asuras for a time (a European aspect of this is the ancient Rite of the Sacrificial King as practiced within the cultures of the Celts) and as a consequence Sorath. This made it possible for man to overcome the forces of physical death with spiritual life. For if Ahriman had not been bound then materialism would not just be an attitude of life but an evil disease.  From the time of the Mystery of Golgotha onwards man was given a choice, he could begin to prepare himself for his future task of ennobling the evil degenerative forces of death and decay by working with the forces of light (Faith) chemical or sound (Love) and life (Hope) Ethers or he could reject this possibility and sink down to the abyss.

If man rejects this possibility (taking into account that each individual human being creates for himself the double as an aggregate of the materialistic thoughts feelings and deeds of will that attract and add to the negative Etheric in his being), it stands to reason that the creation and nurturing of this double will not merely have an effect on the individual human being but also on the world around him – in the surrounding Ether – in the creation of a super or sub suprahuman double – the great double that will provide a fitting vehicle for the incarnation of  Ahriman.

How will it provide for the incarnation of Ahriman the emissary of the Sun Demon?

    Deadened materialistic thoughts that become corpses in the human brain feed the degenerated light Ether – electricity or darkness – in the sub physical or Evil Astral world from which the Astral body will be created into which the demonic ego of Ahriman can light up.

    Hatred of the spirit and a lack of love for the spiritual, including the spiritual work of others, hollows out and deadens the human soul and will intensify the degenerated Sound or Chemical Ether – Magnetism – in the sub-physical or Evil Lower Devachan from which the opposing powers will weave the Etheric body of Ahriman.

    Fear paralyses human moral will and this will further intensify the power of degenerated Life Ether – power of the Atom – in the sub-physical or Evil Higher Devachan. From it will come the knowledge necessary for creating the physical body of Ahriman.

The three bodies of Ahriman will be formed from: the Astral corpses of human thoughts, vibrations issuing from the hearts and larynxes of human beings filled with hatred and immoral feelings and the division and separation of human beings from the moral deed, the higher hierarchies and their Karma through fear.

Ahriman is destined to incarnate around three thousand years after the birth of Christ in a physical body, as a counterbalance to Lucifer’s incarnation three thousand years before the birth of Christ  in China. His birth has been in preparation since the year 1998. He will not be an ordinary man,  he will be a super or subsuprahuman. This means that he will not only have a physical body, but also a subsupraphysical body a body of elemental and Luciferic, Ahrimanic and Asuric beings that possess higher members (eg  Spirit Self and Life Spirit Spirit man)  at his disposal. If this incarnation follows those laws that guide the incarnations of higher (Bodhisattva) beings, then Ahriman will ascend into the three sheaths created for him by a human vessel. This time however, this human vessel will have no ego . This physical ‘being’, will allow the ego of Ahriman to enter into it, around its twenty ninth to thirtieth year and Ahriman will begin the work of elaborating these three sheaths into an Ahrimanised retarded form of microcosmic Spirit Self, Life Spirit and Spirit Man.  Through him will work the intentions of the being of Sorath the Beast of the Apocalypse. Sorath a being who fell behind before Old Saturn, does not belong to our earthly evolution and will enter into Earthly evolution only in the Apocalyptic future. He will need all the hosts of Lucifer, Ahriman and Asuras and the sub-earthly ethers that have been intensified by the sub-suprahuman Ahrimanic double and the individual human beings that have taken his impulses right down into their various sheaths. These shall be his limbs his organs of sense his internal organs, and they will bring his thoughts and intentions, his hatred and his unwavering will to incarnation.

This may very well happen sooner than later depending on the strength of the Ahrimanic double. For it may be possible for Sorath to enter into the physically incarnated Ahriman even in our own epoch and inspire him in his sheaths – a pseudo-incarnation for Sorath. 

The totality of beings working for Sorath/Ahriman over and against the impulse of Christ is what John describes as the ‘Antichrist’ . However it must be pointed out that the strength of such an attack on the Christ impulse will depend on whether humanity is able to raise itself toward the spirit.

What will Ahriman be like?

    He will be extremely intelligent. Possessed of a great powerful genius and cold intellect that will assure the faith of the unwary.  He will set up a great school of Occultism (Lodges) where black magic will be taught. Those who follow him will take the ‘materialism’ that exists in thought (Astral body) all the way down into their Etheric bodies and will harden them so that these Etheric bodies remain intact after death (Ahrimanic immortality). These hardened Etheric bodies will distort the image of the Etheric Christ in the Astral world bordering the earth. 
    He will exude a profound magnetism that will draw human beings with its power - his ‘voice’ will have the ability to mesmerize and hypnotise those who listen without discrimination and he will make what is immoral ‘sound’ honourable, good and justified (The Sauruman of JRR Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings comes to mind) Hatred will guide his every action, but from him will come the teachings concerning the nature of the lower passions and their connections to clairvoyance – Kundalini Tantra that leads to ceremonial sexual rituals accessing the lower Etheric forces are an example of this. Also, consenting ritual murder and cannibalism, which is of a sexual nature, is another step again. He will be responsible for promulgating only the biblical version of Christ’s life as a literal, material account of a man’s life, rejecting His divinity and resurrection (note the film ‘The Passion’ and its obsession with the death and failure to continue on towards an understanding of the resurrection and the becoming). Ahriman will be more charismatic than the powerless human Jesus that will everywhere be portrayed.
    His will shall have no restraint and he will yield the power of the members (suprahuman) of his being with a violent and concentrated force that will encourage those who are weak of spirit to follow him Those who do not will be made to suffer unbearable persecution. This will be made possible by firstly destroying the will, through the will preventing the elaboration of the consciousness soul which finally leads to either a bonding of the Ego with the physical body or a driving out of the ego altogether. A pale example of this destruction of the ‘will’ of a people occurred in Eastern Europe during the reign of the Bolsheviks when sixty million people were murdered and many more were sent to work camps in Siberia. Today we see a very subliminal form in the new laws against terrorism that give the State unprecedented powers over suspects. The holding of suspects at the military institution at Guantanamo Bay without trial is a prime example of the beginnings of the attack on human civil rights and liberties, which will spread across the world like a wild fire through Fear. From there, it is a short step to the entire domination of human will and its subsequent  subjugation to the powers that wish to destroy the ego.       
   
In 1780 Galvani began experiments leading to the discovery of electricity. In 1845 Faraday concluded that all matter must contain magnetism and in 1932 the artificial splitting of the lithium nucleus by neutron bombardment lead to the discovery of atomic power.  The degeneration of ethers has begun in our Post Atlantean Epoch and will have its culmination in the seventh Age of Earth Evolution.

Today we see the signs of the preparation for Ahriman’s arrival. We see the signs of his coming.  Materialism has reached its zenith in the middle of the last century. The materialistic thoughts  feelings and will of human beings entering the world between death and rebirth then spread a dark cloak over the spiritual world, creating a darkening in the realm of the First hierarchy, leading to a certain intensification of the fallen ethers in the Sub-physical realms which resulted in a manifestation of the power of the Beast in Nazism, Bolshevism and the discovery of the power of the Atom. This caused a sacrifice of Christ consciousness in the Astral world.

If human beings do not open their eyes and acquire concrete occult knowledge as a counterforce to evil then humanity will be helpless in the face of the future incarnation of Ahriman and the physical manifestation through Ahriman of his master Sorath.

Already, in our 5th cultural Epoch we observe Ahriman’s incarnation, a worldwide web of electromagnetic currents criss-cross the earth’s surface. Microwave towers and high-rise buildings pulsing with electricity replace the ancient pyramids and obelisks on the horizons of human cities. Sky Satellites have taken the place of the divine worship of the Stars that have guided our ancestors on their journeys. We seek to explore the planets (corpses of the past) instead of learning in a meditative way to come to a communion with the living spiritual counterparts of these corpses. Pulse generators, lasers and Nuclear medicine have taken the place of healing with the hands and the heart. Digital processors pump out numerical formulas that drown out the harmony of the spheres. The premature destruction of the physical sheaths through, Drug addiction, the building up of the animalistic nature through sport, vitamin and mineral supplements, the use of animal steroids and through sexual rituals, heavy metal music, television etc. The destruction of the physical sheaths of the earth through, pollution of the air water and soil, the cutting down of rainforests, unsustainable farming practices, the raping of the seas and the mineral earth.

All of it can be seen even with the eye not focussed on the spiritual. Everywhere the human being is surrounded by fallen ethers that have been allowed to break out of their rightful domains. Everywhere elemental beings enter into humans from the kingdom of nature spirits to be enchanted and released according to the moral disposition of their host. Everywhere the spiritual researcher can see the created phantoms (Asuras), ghosts/spectres (Ahriman) and demons (Lucifer) that have become detached from human beings as a result of prejudice (the forces of Fear in the Will life), lovelessness (the forces of Hatred in the Feeling life), untruth and hypocrisy (the forces of Doubt in the Thinking life).   

All of the above has its place in human evolution as the earth is meant to die and become a corpse,  however human beings are not meant to follow the earth into the abyss, they are meant to rise up in consciousness and spiritually, taking with them what they can redeem (as a seed) of the Luciferic the Ahrimanic and Asuric elements towards a future evolutionary stage when the earth will be reborn anew.

How are we meant to accomplish this task?

The answer to this question lies in what we as individuals can do who gather together in the name of Anthroposophy through the work of the four mystery streams renewed by Rudolf Steiner at the Christmas Conference in 1924. To learn to recognise and overcome Doubt, Fear and Hatred of the spirit in our own souls, by replacing them with Faith, Love, and Hope must become our standard and it must begin in our epoch if we hope to weaken the power of the Ahriman and subsequently the Antichrist in future times.  Otherwise we will incarnate in the Sixth Cultural Epoch to find we are like the farmer who did not sow seeds and bemoans the lack of a harvest. We shall have not prevented the great calamities that will come, and the resulting inevitable human suffering.
The best counterforce is to work in knowledge. Knowledge (Michaelic intelligence), is the first step in recognising and redeeming these forces. Ahriman himself tells us in Goethe’s Faust,

“I will not grudge my praise before thou goest, for well I see that thou the Devil knowest.”   

Next week we will discuss the renewed Mystery Streams that work through the being of Anthroposophy in leading mankind to the four paths of knowledge:

1.    To awaken spirituality in human beings - Rosicrucian stream
2.    To announce the Cosmic Christ –  Grail  Stream
3.    To uncover and redeem evil – Manichean Stream 
4.    To create conditions for the future – Templar Stream"



I hope you noticed the use of microwaves in the degeneration of the ethers, which serves Ahriman's aims by making astral-etheric beings, elementals, to fall into SubNature (mechanical fallen ethers).

Best,

Druid

Re: rennes and merovingians

Very good info, but by this info I see that we are surrounded only by evil Brotherhoods...
Were is the good ones ?
Not only evil brotherhoods but also evil influences like fluorine on the water, electro stuff...
Everything against.

Also about vitamins ?
Can you elaborate better, I could not got the point.

Re: rennes and merovingians

Sure I chose only the part about evil brotherhoods. They are much easier to understand that the good ones. The good ones have more subtler adn complex modus operandi than the evil ones, who just want to bind humanity to matter (and so the Matrix). There is some sort of symetry between evil lodges and good lodges. See the website: http://www.anthroposophy.org.au/sydney/Grail.htm
One might say 'black lodges' and 'white lodges', but not in the same sense as understood in the 'Great White Brotherhood' of Peter Deunov and Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov. Anthroposophy's insights are totally independent of this new age school. They also are independent of Theosophy - Steiner elaborated on some of the good insights contained in Blavatsky's first books, but he also points to major flaws in Theosophy which kinda disqualifies what came out of Theosophy after Blavatsky (especially with Besant and even worse with Bailey). Theosophy became straigth luciferianism: 'Yahve and Christ are bad', 'Lucifer the light-bringer is our real teacher and savior', and so on. these are basic premises of new age and wrongly understood neo-gnosticism.
