The Development of Architecture in Connection with the Turn of the Millennium

As the year 1000 approached, the people of Europe lived in great fear of the expected end of the world. They expected this to happen in a physical sense, with the earth dissolving into smoke and mist. It was the Ahrimanic spirits who taught people this idea that something terrible would happen on the physical plane, while in reality many things were happening in the spiritual world. At every millennium, the Luciferic and Ahrimanic spirits have a special power. Humanity need not be particularly proud of the decimal system, which is predominant today. Every number system is brought into the world by certain spirits, and each has a tendency to reveal certain facts and connections between facts more clearly and to obscure others, to make them recede into the background.[^1]
