Yahweh is the god of the Bible. He was an entity that created the first human being on Earth. Some say he did so through genetic engineering. Others say humanity was materialized on Earth as a product of the consciousness of God, who wanted to know himself. God then is “all that was, all that is, and all that will be. Perhaps Yahweh was able to incarnate his own consciousness in a human body. In any case, the human being he materialized or created obeyed him. He was thus a God, though not the highest God. The supreme God is the Trinity, who created various hierarchies of angels, each affecting humanity in its own way.
According to Rudolf Steiner, it was first planned that in the future humanity would take the place of the lower hierarchy of Angels, upon which all the various orders would move upward. But the plan was halted and it was decided that humans would be given the task of becoming a physical being in order to become independent of God, the ultimate path for self-realization of God in the universe, to then form a new hierarchy, as the Spirits of Love and Freedom. This required the sacrifice of the Fall. Lucifer tempted Eve in Paradise to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil: the capacity for evil was then born. Man no longer listened to Yahweh, whereupon Yahweh turned into the vengeful and jealous God found in the Bible. Lucifer thus rebelled against Yahweh to make mankind free. The goals of the Fall of Man have been achieved today and now it is a matter of returning to the original consciousness, but as a freely individualized being of love. Not one being of the existing hierarchies has ever experienced this.
But in order to return to the original consciousness, a second force was needed, a counterforce that could ensure that Lucifer’s expanded consciousness did not drift into wickedness. That was Satan, who acted as Yahweh’s police force, so to speak, freeing man in another area of the mind. The Satan force is the karmic consequence of the effect that Lucifer had on mankind, making sure that Lucifer’s rebellion and self-love cannot go too far and a path can be taken back to Yahweh. That is the Great Plan.
God is watching from above how we are doing. He has, roughly speaking, three ways to exert targeted influence on learning people: two I have already named. Those are Lucifer and Satan. God can encourage you through people around you, which is Luciferic treatment. From this you grow until you start floating and lose contact with Earth. And He can antagonize you through criticism, which is a Satanic treatment. From this you shrink until you harden and lose contact with spiritual reality. Sometimes it is said that there are only two emotions: love and fear. Love then is the expansive reaction to the Lucifer force and fear is the compressive reaction to the Satan force. In other words, good and evil. But this way of looking at it is actually a little odd, because both extremes of good and evil can eventually become too much. People need both sides in their development, both the light and the shadow. This is how a human being can come to know himself. How he can learn to Be. And how he can enter into loving contact with his fellow man. He who has developed both sides in himself walks the middle path between Lucifer and Satan, and this, according to Rudolf Steiner, is the path of the Christ-figure. It is the intention of the Great Plan that we all learn to walk the path of Christ. For we are on Earth to learn and rid ourselves of mistakes, in order to become perfect, just like Christ. If we strive for this, then every act of every human being in the world will become a religious act. This has nothing to do with the exoteric form of religion practiced in this world, which has been corrupted completely, but has to do with balancing your inner state so that you can communicate with your fellow man with strong love. This also has nothing to do with how some people see the Christ figure: as someone who accepts everything. No, Christ is representing a love that’s imbued with strength. You are both light, and shadow, but the instincts are under control. And you have the strong will to know and proclaim the truth, even in the face of great opposition.
Lucifer sees the prey and is the current in yourself that works from future to past, which is thus the young-making power. And Satan sees the predator, and is the current in yourself that works from the past to the future, and so is the old-making power. The center is the present, and that is the heart. He who sees the consequences of his actions, has learned, and has long-term goals, has found the place for the old-making force. So the latter is not something to be eliminated in an artificial way. Both forces are needed.
The third main way to exert a targeted influence on humans, aside from Lucifer and Satan, is to use the power of the Antichrist to turn people’s energy fields inside out; this creates the illusion that another entity is taking control, due to the sometimes drastic change in the energy field that it entails. However, this energy works in a complementary manner to the original entity, enabling it to exert a transformative effect on its surroundings and thus remaining under God’s control. The energy of the person whose energy field has been turned inside out then changes, sometimes slightly, sometimes drastically, and, just like any person whose energy field has not been turned inside out, that person may exhibit a wide range of behaviors, both benevolent and malevolent.
Lucifer and Satan are the left and right hands of this Antichrist, and they obey his orders. But they also listen to the Christ figure, who thus embodies the middle path between Lucifer and Satan. Anyone who displays Christ-like power becomes a target of this Antichrist. These entities then begin by taking over or turning the people around you inside out, ultimately ending up with you. So they will take you over as well, if you give them the chance. The Antichrist, therefore, works from the outside in. He does this to avoid drawing attention to himself and to tie up all loose ends without anyone noticing. He is, therefore, very calculating and malicious. While a person must learn to embrace Lucifer and Satan with love, they must keep the Antichrist-energy at a distance as much as possible by severing ties with him. The Antichrist peels away your consciousness layer by layer by constantly condemning your anger. As a result, your power becomes increasingly diluted, until you are ultimately freed from your ego and no longer fear anyone. The Antichrist needs your indirect consent to take over the people around you, so if you notice that people around you are being taken over, for example, because they’re trying to trigger you with references to reptilian aliens, vampires, or werewolves, or exactly the things you’re afraid of, then sound the alarm immediately and share your story. In other words: create works. This is essential to keep the people around you and yourself in your original state.
Almost all famous people have been taken over. This is because these individuals are under immense pressure and quickly reach their breaking point, which is why this Antichrist power provides them with a complementary energy field, allowing them to exert their transformative influence on humanity without collapsing. People who speak too much truth can also become targets for takeover. And furthermore, psychiatric patients who suppress their instincts or who are beyond help. The Antichrist claims victims from all segments of the population, but you could also say: God saves people who are exhausted from all segments of the population. For this power is known among Christians as the Anointing, and it ensures that, even with a traumatic past, you can still reach out to tell your story: indirectly through the creation of works, or directly, as I am doing currently.
Even though these taken over/turned inside out/anointed people can exhibit both benevolent and malevolent behavior, it is important that you do not act aggressively toward them. It is essential that you take everyone’s behavior for what it is and, with the help of your capacity for anger and grief, process what people put you through. And if someone exhibits negative behavior, you can always choose to confront them or to sever ties. Ultimately, humanity will also learn to handle this power and will learn to persevere in the state of Christ and proclaim the truth to the world, despite the opposition of this Antichrist. It is intended to ultimately make humanity super strong and perfectly loving.
