“The ahrimanic beings have a different interest. Their firm intention is to get the human kingdom and thereby the earth along with it into their sphere of power, to make human beings dependent on them, to control humanity.” ~ Rudolf Steiner
Catherine and Thomas sat down to discuss the idea and spirit of Ahriman…

QUICK RELIGIOUS HISTORY NOTE***
Ahriman is the primary “negative force” in the culture of Ancient Iran. Specifically in both the Mithraic cult and Zoroastrianism.
Steiner was not the first to mention this force, but instead it is thousands of years old. The metaphysics and philosophy of Mithras is quite insightful and stimulating. Jason Reza Jorjani is a great resource today for the history of Ancient Iran.
Best to all!!
Now that is fascinating. Thanks.
Good point! Iranian Leviathan is an incredible book by Jorjani!
Also, Ahriman can be viewed as Yaldabaoth/Demiurge with his archons.
Please, where is the link you mention to ‘The Nature of Evil’?
Hi there, I’m looking for it too; did you find it?
Thank you both, very nourishing.
I would love to see more reports with Thomas Meyer, as I have combed the archives for everything with him in it, hoping to catch it all. Ahriman was fascinating to listen to and very confirming for what I am seeing around me. I also have seen people possessed by demons, that quick change, it is astonishing at times at how fast the switch can be. Very eye opening. I would really appreciate some sort of book list of Steiner’s works that would be worth reading.
Hello Catherine,
I really appreciated this report. It is absolutely essential to deal with the current situation in a calm, spiritually grounded way and to try to understand the big picture regarding what is going on.
Wonderful! Thank you. This put me in a better mood. ; )
I loved this. I know you never have any free time but if you are interested I love to share a lecture on DaVinci’s painting with hidden codes of the Christ’s double. It’s so fascinating.
Tell Thomas thank you!
Thank you very much for the lecture and the insights into this complex of topics! Inspired by this podcast, I have been studying the writings of Rudolf Steiner, especially on the subject of Ahriman, and have read much of Rudolf Steiner’s original writings.
What is astonishing and frightening is the fact that Steiner’s works are based on the works of the “Anglo-Indian Theosophy of Blavatsky and Rosicrucianism…
In order to (really) identify and/or recognise Mr. Global, there is no need (in my opinion!) to study the very questionable and very confusing Theosophy, which to all appearances is nothing more than a blinding grenade for the intellectual seeker…
More purposeful and more clearly, leads the logical, factual and historical investigation on the topics, chassidismuss, chabad lubavich, torah, talmud and kaballa… There you will find Mr. Global…
