Esoteric Lesson

What we call our physical body, that which is placed as such into the physical environment, is entirely the product of Ahriman. His products confront us in everything physical. And when we come to experience ourselves consciously outside the physical and etheric bodies, we also recognize that our entire soul life, which we carry within us only through the medium of the physical body, all our thinking, feeling, and willing, which is only stimulated by the emotions that the sensory world provides us, is ruled by Lucifer. The clairvoyant person recognizes that these elemental beings strive to remove the effects of Ahriman and Lucifer, effects that manifest themselves both physically as illnesses and psychically as soul suffering, fear, anxiety, and mental illness, to remove them from human beings and to have a healing effect. They are servants of the high spiritual beings who now radiate down upon our Earth and the human world from the forces of the zodiac. They are the spiritual messengers of our zodiacal forces, and from this sphere they all work inward toward the center: our Earth.
