I am, and have been for a long time, an anthroposophist, one who follows the teachings of Rudolf Steiner. I thought I would share with everyone the actual truth about some common misconceptions regarding Christ and his counterparts.
In the history of the world, there have been spiritual movements that have shaped our progress. Civilization first really began when Lucifer was incarnated into a Chinese nobleman around 3000 BC. Lucifer spread the divine spark of creativity into the world, which then spread, and from which we get ancient cultures. Christ is a mean between Lucifer and the Antichrist. He was incarnated into the body of Jesus at around 30 AD. The Antichrist, whose name is Ahriman, has not been incarnated yet. He will be incarnated an equal number of years after Christ as Lucifer came before. Right now, his influence is growing as his time approaches.
Lucifer and Ahriman both are evil, but in opposite extremes. Lucifer's realm is the creative. He tries to win people over by getting them to think highly of their own abilities. Ahriman's realm is the mechanical. He tries to trap people in the mechanics of everyday life. Things like electricity and digestion are evils from the Ahrimanic realm. However, we can use those evils for the purpose of the good so long as we don't let ourselves get trapped in them.
The Ahrimanic influence is growing, as can be seen by how people are turning to science for answers. They want to explain the world mechanically. Science is okay only so long as we also practice spiritual science, using our spiritual senses to observe the very real spirit world.
Many people have the misconception of Christ that he was Jesus. The cosmic Christ descended into Jesus and merged with him. We know about the cosmic Christ from the prophecies of the ancient Persians. The cosmic Christ has existed in the realm of the sun for all eternity. From there, he descended into Jesus of Nazareth and began merging with him, a process that completed with the crucifixion. The Persian prophecies also foretold the Antichrist, and revealed his name: Ahriman.
