Is the human race beneath non secular assault? And did the esoteric thinker and clairvoyant Rudolf Steiner warn about it over a century in the past when he mentioned a ‘vaccine’ could be the supply system for the defeat of humanity?

For a lot of, the overly-authoritarian response by governments worldwide to COVID-19 pointed to some deeper, extra sinister driving power. However it hasn’t simply been the governments that appeared to be performing unusual. Over the past two years, we’ve witnessed individuals throughout a broad spectrum of society meekly undergo draconian assaults on their freedoms, many even fiercely defending the assault. In the identical means, we’ve seen politicians and events who as soon as ran on platforms of non-public freedom and financial autonomy nearly in a single day flip into overbearing management freaks, intent on micromanaging each facet of our lives. How has this occurred?

Just lately, the time period ‘mass formation psychosis’ has been on everyone’s lips. It’s outlined as a psychological phenomenon whereby a mass of individuals voluntarily undergo a strategy of deindividuation, and a herd mentality varieties. Attributable to their contagious nature, the thoughtforms affecting these deindividuated individuals, catalysed by the optimistic suggestions loops of reports programmes, social media and peer interplay, unfold like wildfire all through the inhabitants. Prior to now, this was referred to as mob psychology, or extra plainly, the insanity of crowds.

Psychology: from Science to the Occult

Somebody for whom the occasions of the previous couple of years wouldn’t have been so shocking was the Austrian esoteric thinker and mystic Rudolf Steiner, who died nearly a century in the past. All through his life, Steiner wrote quite a few books and delivered hundreds of lectures on his theories, contributing significantly to various spheres from structure to training and agriculture to beekeeping. His extremely distinctive – and generally controversial – insights and strategies led to the founding of the non secular motion often called Anthroposophy, which emphasises the existence of a boundless potential for human beings.

Not like some esoteric thinkers, Steiner noticed the good significance of materialistic science however argued that it was very important to see it as solely a single facet of actuality which ought to ideally be mixed with what he referred to as ‘non secular science’ – gained by mystical expertise – with a purpose to current the total image. In spite of everything, breakthroughs typically happen when scientists obtain insights from past the fabric realm, as within the well-known case of James Watson, credited with the invention of the double helix form of DNA which got here to him in a dream that includes two intertwined serpents. Equally, Dmitri Mendeleev created the periodic desk after a dream of “… a desk the place all the weather fell into place as required.” These circumstances go to point out that not all scientific discoveries are the results of logical deduction and experimentation.

In reality, Steiner, who had been on the receiving finish of mystical insights since childhood, honed his clairvoyant expertise to such an extent that the knowledge he obtained from non-conventional sources turned greater than the occasional flash of perception. His quest turned the institution of strategies for acquiring goal extrasensory notion – a job he thought-about of paramount significance, for he believed an epic battle was being fought within the non secular realm that may have disastrous penalties for humankind except it was addressed head-on.

Spirits of Darkness

His clearest warnings concerning the future destiny of humanity got here in a collection of lectures delivered in the direction of the top of his life in Dornach, Switzerland; these lectures are reproduced within the ebook The Fall of the Spirits of Darkness. Though Steiner’s detractors say his prose could be leaden, his lectures meandering, and his ideas troublesome to understand, he’s remarkably clear and easy in terms of the destiny that awaits humanity if our obsession with scientific materialism is allowed to reign free with out being pulled again into steadiness by the counterbalancing forces of spirituality.

That is most clearly illustrated within the remaining two lectures within the collection – 13 and 14 – that are respectively titled The Fallen Spirits’ Affect within the World and Into the Future. Steiner posits that an unseen battle befell within the early 19^th century which sure ‘spirits of darkness’ misplaced. These spirits have been duly ejected from their heavenly realms and solid down right into a extra materials airplane of existence, i.e. right here. He’s remarkably exact about when this occurred: autumn 1879.

These newly arrived spirits joined those that have been already right here – those which have been current alongside and influencing humanity for the reason that mythological occasions related to the Fall. Provided that it takes time for these malign spirits to work their means by human societies, it wasn’t till 1914 that their malign affect manifested in human society within the type of the First World Warfare – a disastrous occasion the reason for which nonetheless puzzles secular historians.

Lucifer and Ahriman – the Leaders of the Pack

The spirits Ahriman and Lucifer have been hacking humanity for hundreds of years, says Steiner, with Lucifer being the ‘gentle bringer’ intent on making us extra non secular and granting us extra free will, and Ahriman doing the other and making us extra materialistic and simpler to regulate. In simplistic phrases, Lucifer is an ascending affect, whereas Ahriman is a descending one.

Steiner’s carving of the face of Ahriman

Why ought to they need to do that? Effectively, we simply don’t know – it’s troublesome for our human minds to determine what makes angels and demons tick. However at any time when there’s a kind of periodic battles within the spirit world, Steiner mentioned, it tends to end in a brand new batch of reinforcements being thrown down into the fabric realm to hitch forces with these already right here.

Steiner advised us that Ahriman – a demon first recognized by the Zoroastrians in historic Persia – has the higher hand proper now. He had a private beef with Ahriman and had seen his face in imaginative and prescient – in reality, he was nonetheless carving a likeness of it out of wooden on the time of his demise. Ahriman’s most important intention appears to be to tug humankind right into a purely materialistic state devoid of any type of spirituality, eradicating even the impulse to attach with our souls. The tactic of assault could be by science and expertise, and by taking possession of the minds of highly effective and influential individuals with a purpose to push by this agenda. These managed individuals might be scientists, politicians, spiritual leaders, or anybody with any affect. Thus, demonic forces would work by these individuals, and the individuals themselves, blinded by all-too-human failings corresponding to greed or a lust for energy, would lack the fundamental consciousness to recognise what was occurring.

A New Faith for a New Age

The background to this energy seize was the rise of atheism and the worship of science and progress. Now, we have now a state of affairs during which a purely materialist perspective is introduced because the solely rationalization for all creation. Atheism has change into a de facto faith for some, whereas the wealthy traditions of native spirituality have been side-lined and crushed beneath its heel. Individuals, animals and all life is regarded in the identical chilly method; merely receptacles of proteins and genetic code that may be exploited. The endgame of this play is introduced as a bleak, monochrome world expunged of spirit and lightweight, the place people – their minds and spirits damaged – are herded collectively and monitored like lab animals.

We will see how this state of affairs is being expedited. The CEOs of tech firms are considered nearly as saints or Bodhisattvas, dangling the carrot of everlasting life within the type of importing the ‘knowledge’ contained inside our brains onto microchips. On the identical time, politicians, company scientists, civil servants and economists are considered technocratic engineers tasked with making certain the sleek functioning of the juggernaut of the fabric economic system. Free will? The implicit assumption is that this shall be pointless as soon as the AI-powered algorithms – which know us higher than we do – attain escape velocity. At this stage, human life would haven’t any intrinsic worth, and the shells of our former selves could be occupied by the demonic military that Steiner warned us was ready for its second.

Within the Blood

Some individuals say that Rudolf Steiner predicted a vaccine would seem which might be the supply system for the ultimate defeat of humankind. In gentle of the clandestine efforts made over the past two years to inject nearly everyone on the planet with a gene-editing therapy, his prescience appears exceptional – however how true is it?

Amazingly, Steiner was remarkably clear (by his personal requirements) concerning the bodily course of by which this takeover would happen. In his remaining lecture in The Fall of the Spirits of Darkness, he states that the non secular world the place entities corresponding to angels, demons, and archangels dwell is throughout the human blood. He meant this fairly actually, saying:

“Each the Archangels and the Angels had their dwelling place within the blood, because it have been. Actually, the blood shouldn’t be one thing merely for chemists to analyse; additionally it is the dwelling place of entities from larger worlds.”

To that finish, he speculated that the supply mechanism could be within the type of a vaccine injected instantly into our our bodies.

“Immediately [in 1917] our bodies are vaccinated towards one factor and one other; in future, youngsters shall be vaccinated with a substance which it is going to actually be potential to supply, and this may make them immune in order that they don’t develop silly inclinations related with non secular life – ‘silly’ right here, in fact, within the eyes of the materialists.”

This ‘vaccine’, he goes on to say, would block off any communication from the spirit world, that means no messages or impulses would be capable to get by from the ‘spirits of sunshine’ whose intention is all the time to assist humanity progress and fulfil our future. The vaccine would completely lock out optimistic impulses which have been as soon as transmitted to us, and as an alternative the hapless victims would solely be capable to obtain the impulses coming to them from disruptive sources, which we are able to think about right now would possibly embody the media, the training system and even established faith. He says there could be nice confusion, and Ahrimanic forces will flip individuals’s ideas the wrong way up and inside out. Every part that when was good and wise will seem evil and loopy, whereas every part that was as soon as thought-about insane and evil shall be introduced as wise and good.

Squid Video games: From Wetiko to The Matrix

Does this sound implausible, the ramblings of a long-dead mystic? Many will little question say that it does and that there are extra earthly and believable explanations for the psychic epidemic that has gripped the world. Maybe Steiner was talking metaphorically, in spite of everything, some might cause. Nonetheless, the phenomenon to which Steiner alluded bears putting similarities to the Native American idea of wetiko. The writer Paul Levy has written extensively about this, defining it as “a contagious psychospiritual illness of the soul, a parasite of the thoughts that’s at the moment being acted out en masse on the world stage by way of a collective psychosis of titanic proportions.”

Listening to a latest Legalise Freedom podcast entitled ‘COVID-19: Warfare on Humanity’, Emma Farrell, a plant healer who makes use of shamanic strategies to entry interior realms, noticed that she and others in the identical discipline had seen a veritable horde of non secular parasitic entities connected to individuals over the past two years – as if a floodgate had been opened and so they had poured by it. These entities, she says, are available in all sizes and styles, however there are two quite common and recognisable ones, one in every of which is squid-like. These squid-like beings, she says, connect themselves to unprotected individuals and harvest their non secular power by inflicting division and discord amongst us.

This struck me as fascinating as we’ve seen this squid archetype transfer into human consciousness over the previous few years, not least turning into obvious by in style tradition. Many individuals have reported having goals of octopus or squid-like creatures, and artists corresponding to Peter Yankowski have painted footage of those visions. Certainly, the villainous machines that management people and harvest their energies within the Matrix motion pictures appear like robotic squids, whereas one of many prime Netflix collection of 2021 was Squid Sport, a grim and violent survival thriller that posits human nature as intrinsically barbaric. What’s extra, the resurgence in reputation of H.P. Lovecraft’s supernatural tales of horrors from the deep provides one other tentacled layer to this rugose cake.

And let’s not overlook when Goldman Sachs, one of many world’s largest funding banks, was memorably described by Rolling Stone journalist Matt Taibbi as a “nice vampire squid wrapped across the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into something that smells like cash.” The outline is apt; in spite of everything, what’s the function of an funding financial institution apart from to show each facet of the sacred world right into a monetised asset that may be traded, exploited and leveraged?

The Path Again to Sanity

Might this manifestation of a squid/octopus archetype into human consciousness be what Steiner warned us about? Are there actually non secular entities inside our blood that would account for billionaire technocrats’ obsession with injecting substances into us which can be mentioned to include nanoparticles we all know little or no about? And the way does this sit with the psychospiritual illness of wetiko outlined by Paul Levy and the idea of ‘mass formation psychosis’ being mentioned in different media?

Maybe the reality lies someplace within the nexus of those ideas, with the implicit suggestion that we should always not relaxation in our deep enquiry into the way of the affliction that’s at the moment so prevalent internationally. Solely by doing so can we hope to search out the required instruments and weapons for combating again towards it.

Or possibly the Ahrimanic demons that Steiner warned us about, the wetiko thoughts parasites Paul Levy writes of, and the tentacled entities which have squirmed into our collective consciousness by way of in style tradition, are all enjoying on the identical workforce. In that case, what does our workforce appear like? And the way can we win this recreation? Maybe the combat is a mandatory one at this juncture in human growth, and that by defeating these ‘spirits of darkness’ we are able to progress to a better degree.

Regardless of the case, referring again to the outdated adage alluded to earlier… individuals, it’s mentioned, would possibly go mad in crowds, however the path again to sanity occurs one individual at a time.
