Ahriman is actually that in which only the perishing is found, that which brings us humans to death, that which makes us die. But with these forces of death, which ultimately also cause us to die, with these forces we actually think, with these forces we are cunning, mischievous, sly, but also wise with an understanding sense. This is connected with the downward development of man. But it is also connected with the forms in the human head. The head is the deadest [illegible words] thing in man. Now think of the idea of metamorphosis: it is based on a being that is not decisive for the form of the whole human being, but is decisive, as otherwise only the head is formed in the human being.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"76.

Aber mit diesen Todeskräften, die uns zuletzt auch sterben lassen, mit den Kräften denken wir eigentlich, mit den Kräften sind wir schlau, schalkhaft, durchtrieben, aber auch mit verständigem Sinne weise.
