The incarnation of Lucifer in ancient China
Manuscript sections for test reading of my new book: “Lucifer’s mystery”
I am now after several years of intensive research and writing finished with the manuscript of the Lucifer book and it would be nice, if someone who has the necessary distance to the text and my spiritual research would control read snippets. Therefore, I ask friends and interested outsiders, to be reading these paragraphs, and to evaluate the test script critically.
My multi-cultures
Reincarnation consciousness and cosmopolitan identity
“Those who were killed, does not return,” Svein Tore Marthinsen writes in a blog post in the daily newspaper Aftenposten about the massacres in Oslo and at Utøya. Of course he is right! Even in relation to the reincarnation idea he is right. The man I am today can only be like I’m now under the prevailing conditions in the current incarnation as a born and bred Norwegian who was living in Sweden and is staying in Germany with a Norwegian state passport in almost an entire adult life.
Rudolf Steiner 150 years and the future of anthroposophy
“Anthroposophy” we call, what Rudolf Steiner laid out in his comprehensive and supposedly epoch-making work. When I use this term, I always think that it is about this Austrian Steiner, who developed his aspects of life issues and arts as well as natural science and transcendental research that has had a social and practical significance for a number of areas of life such as education, agriculture, medicine and architecture. Since his death nearly 86 years ago, however, the word anthroposophy in public is not only used about Steiner’s own work, but also about anything related to the so-called anthroposophical movement that arose around his person and activities. Everything of later date, which is equivalent to it and that later so-called anthroposophists have achieved, is also called anthroposophy. Steiner himself once said that it would be good to find new names for Anthroposophy every week. Maybe he meant that one could use any name that eventually like this would occur, precisely to distinguish between the different qualities that different people would then represent out of their individual relation to “anthroposophy”.
social future – perspectives of the karma research
In this post I would like to point on spiritual beings, which are connected to us since ancient times. The more we recognize their spiritual placement and acting in earthly acquaintances; they can more and more through their relation to our karma support the future impulses in the human community building. Everything we do and experience on earth is observed from these beings of the spiritual sphere of the moon. They register and carry it into the Akasha substance. They once lived with mankind in ancient times on earth. Rudolf Steiner used for them the term “Urlehrer” – primordial teachers. If we deal with the area of karma in all its aspects and impacts, we must take care with these moon beings in our outlook. These teachers didn’t at that time obtain a solid, physical body. Their effort on the people went through their etheric bodies.
