Lucifer – “At the opposite pole from Ahriman is the being called Lucifer who encourages us to keep our heads in the clouds (and look down on everybody!), to escape from the earth into a world of illusion, to avoid material responsibility, to dream, to sleep, to foster the fanciful, the fanatical, the fantastic and the formless, to indulge in false and visionary mysticism. In earlier times Lucifer was the main danger to man’s right development, but now the pendulum has swung the other way.” Ahriman – “This being is particularly active in our modern world. His aim is to wrest man away from any allegiance to, or even any awareness of, the world of spirit, to chain him to the earth, to immerse him in ease and materialism. He encourages apathy, indifference, cold intellect, inner stagnation, hardness of the heart. We recognize him often today.”
