The Task of Man Between Lucifer And Ahriman

Man was originally destined to be a being that would attain knowledge through his breathing process. With the air, he would have simultaneously taken in and recognized the spiritual. Luciferic temptation has taken that away from him, and instead of this, knowledge had to be taken in through the brain and the sense organs. These are basically very unsuitable for this. Our whole head with the sense organs has been put over us by Lucifer.
