I recent­ly watched a doc­u­men­tary called Died Sud­den­ly, which has been doing the rounds on the inter­net recent­ly. It has been both wide­ly dis­sem­i­nat­ed and wide­ly crit­i­cized. I found the film impact­ful: dis­turb­ing, apoc­a­lyp­tic, even mov­ing, but also quite excit­ing, and hence a lit­tle ques­tion­able. Should some­thing this hor­rif­ic also be this enter­tain­ing?

The Lucifer­ic beings … strive for just the oppo­site of what the Ahri­man­ic beings desire. The Ahri­man­ic beings seek to free man togeth­er with the whole of earth-exis­­tence from the cos­mic past and to con­serve the earth­ly. The Lucifer­ic beings strive to thrust away the earth, thrust away from man every­thing earth­ly and spir­i­tu­al­ize himCon­tin­ue read­ing “Lucifer + Ahri­man (A Stein­er Primer)”

With intel­lec­tu­al inge­nu­ity, proof can be fur­nished in sup­port of the most rad­i­cal­ly oppos­ing the­o­ries…  The intel­lec­tu­al­ism pre­vail­ing among men to-day is not capa­ble of demon­strat­ing the inner poten­tial­i­ties and val­ues of any­thing. It can fur­nish proofs; but what is intel­lec­tu­al­ly proved should not be regard­ed as of real val­ue or effi­ca­cy in life.

We are spir­i­tu­al foe­tus­es. Some things com­ing into our womb-space are nec­es­sary; some are unnec­es­sary; some are dam­ag­ing. In our cur­rent state of aware­ness, we are not always able to dis­cern the dif­fer­ence between nec­es­sary, unnec­es­sary, and dam­ag­ing.

Let’s talk about enti­ties? But how, why, and in what order? Enti­ties don’t want us to talk about them. But if we must talk about them, they want to dic­tate the terms, the feel­ing and the fla­vor, and most of all the out­come, of the dis­cus­sion. Talk is cheap; the devil’s cur­ren­cy is lin­go.
