Since the beginning of the edition of this magazine, issued precisely through the technology of the so-called "network of networks", Internet, we have been working on the task of extending as wide and simple as possible the spiritual knowledge that we The great spiritualist philosophers and esoteric masters have been pouring and showing throughout history, with a view to our material and spiritual realization on earth, as well as in heaven . And we do it humbly convinced that, in the times in which global materialistic scientism has become the authentic religion of man and that egotic hedonism is promoted as the seemingly ultimate basis and end of the entire existence of man in the land, access to

Spiritual Science and the knowledge and concepts that she will inevitably provide if we maintain a faithful and ethical-moral adherence to her teachings and knowledge. And this both for its convenience for the practical purposes of providing us with the necessary physical and mental-emotional health (in addition to the bearable and intelligent coexistence with everyday affairs and with our peers in our daily work), and for providing us with the impulse of life and self-knowledge of our inner structure and of the ways to be able to access from the strictly ground and material to higher and higher levels of wisdom and spiritual awareness.

If religion is "reunification" (of Latin religare ) of the human being with the divine, in the sense of revelation of wisdom that allows us to come into contact with the spiritual forces of the suprasensible world, the study of

Spiritual Science is based on the knowledge and discovery of the essence of the human Self and on the development of the Consciousness of the Self, which can only be acquired during our life in the physical world, by transforming man into an organ of higher knowledge. If the human self is the fundamental acquisition of earthly evolution, the Consciousness of the Self is the goal to achieve and consummate, fundamentally through the inciatic path, a concept so pilgrimly handled by the so-called "New Era", and which synthetically is no other something that the scientific process that leads modern man to the experience of the inner resurrection, in the encounter with Christ as the cosmic archetype of the I, and the union to that divine "I Am" of Christ. Such a path begins through thinking, precisely through the study of the Spiritual Science that concerns us here, then with the extension to the world of feeling, and then to that of the will, to make the saying of St. Paul real “ no I, but Christ in me ”, and eventually lead that part of Humanity that is worthy of it to its full self-realization as 10th Hierarchy of Light-Love-Freedom.

While man remains in his physical body, and therefore in life on earth, in order to achieve what constitutes the essential objective of his incarnation on earth, which is but the acquisition of the self-consciousness of that individual Self, he seeks raise your dignity and find out what your true meaning is, and do it through something that transcends the world of matter, raising your gaze to the spirit, through intuition, feeling and knowledge of the spiritual world. That role of providing the necessary and essential spiritual nourishment that traditionally came corresponding to religions, in which basically their task consisted (and still consists) of a tendency to return to that past in which man, plunged into the vague intuitions of his conscience, he felt subtly and drowsily attached to the spiritual because he perceived it indefinitely but undoubtedly in his daily life, now in contemporary modernity, despite the fact that it seems absurd and chimerical to materialist and pragmatic minds, such role is taken by the understanding of

Spiritual Science with its precise concepts resulting from the study and investigation of the Christian initiate who has managed to enter the suprasensible world, so that finally and ultimately only those who investigate the real content of the spiritual world and make a deep inner development, through conscious elaboration of ideas and concepts, they will have access to true food and spiritual sustenance.

The materialist conception of the world, with a personal nuance, occurs mainly in the middle of the 19th century, as an effect of the expulsion by the Archangel Michael of the Ahrimanic hosts from the heavens (the spiritual world) to the earth, reiterating a similar struggle of times remote that has been repeating cyclically. The so-called economic-political sciences, and in general all

Materialistic Science, are thoughts of the lagging Ahrimanic angels nested in human brains, which were demolished, the last time, in 1879 for acting in rebellion and for not fulfilling their mission, so they are in a lower plane in a degree to which it corresponded. Such Ahrimanic powers feel very uncomfortable if Spiritual Science advances, because it encompasses the whole man and his study and research changes our feelings, our will and our worldview, and on the contrary they feel at ease in brains filled with ahrimanic science, to the point that they are terribly frightened of brains impregnated with spiritual wisdom, for they contain a devouring and immolating fire for such lagging spiritual powers. The Ahrimanic is tied to certain human diseases (especially microbial and infectious throughout history) and to conceptions based on matter and feelings of selfishness. Its foundation is above all in the prejudice-ignorance-fear of the spiritual life, and therefore what they advocate instead is the scientific-natural conception of the world, purely ahrimanic, and a whole series of principles such as extreme rationalism or anti-Christian liberalism, values ​​and concepts that the spiritualist researcher more than forbid, will have to take advantage, know and verify, in his way of Awareness of the I and of achieving greater ambits of freedom.

However, the real effects resulting from the knowledge and study of

Spiritual Science, in the sense advocated by Christianity, whether in its Gnostic, or Rosicrucian, or Anthroposophical side, is essential in the evolutionary and uncritical path, especially in order to approach Christ and become impregnated with his sacred impulse. And in that sense one of its main effects results after the obscuration of the direct consciousness of the spiritual worlds of ancient civilizations and races, without which the human being would not have reached the full consciousness of his Self, in the sense of ascertaining I am a I. . Through the formation within his physical body of what Steiner called the phantom corpse, formed by the necrotic remains resulting from our sensory perceptions, as well as our thoughts and feelings, which comes to be represented by the process of aging and eventual death, an increasing dulling of the physical body, which culminated in the Mystery of the Gotagota, gradually took place in human evolution. . Previously God, Jehovah, thought within man, and the human being, being the scene of divine thoughts, said and noted: within me the gods think, but gradually it was penetrating the darkness in his visions, because that inner phantom corpse, constituted by all the lethal remains that the action of man was leaving in his body, became stronger and at the same time the divine entity that thought through the human entity felt that its consciousness became increasingly dark. Whenever men are facing the physical world, and we have our sensory organs open, we are welcoming in us the necrotic remains of our own perceptions, something dies in us, as if they were a kind of wraith that We receive in our inner being. That material inlay, the so-called ghost corpse, hides us and kills the impulse towards ascension and immediate spiritualization that would lead us to the aspiration to the highest human-divine ideal.

Such darkening and dulling of our bodies, produced by perceptions and permanent generating thoughts of a true death process, and that resulting generalized necrosis, can only be compensated and revived by means of

Spiritual Science and devotion that make man direct his conscious and constant gaze towards the suprasensible and divine, so that it will be a true resurrection to revitalize what remained dead. When culminating in its most intense aspect that process of obscuration and necrosis in man in the historical era in which Christ was incarnated on earth two thousand years ago, in the divine entity thinking in man arose the desire to awaken a new form of consciousness: the Christ, the Son of God who comes to create the Consciousness of God in the human entity, the Christ consciousness that will be necessary to understand and resume, reviving it, the entire background of death from our sensory perceptions, from the darkness of our thoughts and the born of our feelings and will.

All that dies in us, that darkens and dulls, and that submerges in our subconscious, is welcomed by the Christ in us, who gives us life back, so that everything we see inside us as a process of death, we are pouring it on the entity of Christ, who lives in us and permeates human evolution since He lived the Mystery of Golgotha. In Him we submerge the death that is in each person and the obscuration of thinking, because we introduce our opaque thoughts into the spiritual sunlight of Christ. When we cross the portal of death, penetrating the spiritual world, or alternatively by way of

Initiation, our unborn feelings and volitions also penetrate the substance of Christ, and there begins that process of resurrection and revivification that will culminate in its moment with the creation of a new resurrected body. This process can only be produced healthy and efficiently, if during his life man has felt and exercised his belief / encounter with the Christ through the study and application of the concepts and wisdom derived from Spiritual Science .

But

Spiritual Science, as an instrument of access to the spiritual worlds in the search for wisdom and as a means of access to the Christ in us, does not have to be mentally or by memory, but must become a kind of spiritual life blood in us, because whoever assumes and integrates them by living the scientific-spiritual concepts within them, will transform their soul, and will verify that their most subconscious instincts and impulses are modified in it, granting us new sympathies, principles and attitudes, by having access to a new light that will make us safer and more skilled in our daily lives. The creator of Anthroposophy, Rudolf Steiner, said that whoever has impregnated with the science of the spirit implants in his soul, in addition to a special sense of smell to find the truth in the relationships and events of his practical life, an instinct that helps him counter the corresponding healing and strengthening forces to the disease and its own weaknesses.

The main wealth and gift that can provide us

Spiritual Science will be the attainment of the impulse and inner strength to penetrate creatively into the spiritual world, both through death and through Initiation in life, which can only be achieved if we find the right relationship with the Christ. And precisely Christ is the entity that does not allow itself to be demonstrated by the logic of the intellect, and it is only shown and realized in us by acquiring spiritual knowledge. And that is why when we want to enter the spiritual world in a healthy way (which is nothing but dying for the physical world, or through the passage of the initiatory threshold), we need a link with the world that we only acquire when we interact properly with the Christ. And understanding Christ only from knowledge is only possible through Spiritual Science that will introduce us to the regions that man travels when he dies, either by symbolic or initiatory death in which he leaves the physical body so that the soul is discovered outside the body, or by death. At the moment in which we must leave the physical body (we repeat that either by death or by initiation) the important thing is that we meet correctly with that entity that came into the world so that we could meet her. That is why it is said that God the Father can be found in life, but we will find Christ when we properly understand death, the entrance into the spirit.

It is impossible for the Ahrimanic-minded man of our day and of a basically materialistic mental structure, be it a militant atheist or a skeptical agnostic, not only to believe in the spiritual world and in the divine Hierarchies that constitute it, but to accept the essential and basic principles in that is supported

Spiritual Science : that man is an essentially spiritual being, of absolutely spiritual origin, vocation and destiny, and that, in his development and evolution towards that destiny, his passage through the earth constitutes only a small - but transcendental - part of his Evolutionary process. It is painful to observe that great intellectuals and artists of our time, sincere in their search for their essential identity, cannot have access to their true reality, and have to take refuge only in their limited intellect as the only weapon of understanding of reality. Through the development in this life of the teachings of Spiritual Science it is possible to give the soul the spiritual impulse that will make it fruitful again, impregnating it with everything that does not come from the illusion and maya of the senses, but from what emanates from the spirit itself, and its consequence will be reflected in future incarnations by allowing it to live in the world of spiritual reality. That is why we have to become more and more active emotionally, in reaction against the apathy of the current world, the desiccation and spiritual anemia that mechanizes and automates all internal values, precisely to be able to engender the conditions that in the next incarnation allow man Who has studied Spiritual Science see the world in a more spiritual way.

Steiner clearly announced that in the next future human beings would be born who would lack any predisposition to understand

Spiritual Science, for missing something essential. Their own soul, after death, allows them to observe what their next life will be in the corresponding phase of postmortem life within the spiritual world, and contemplating that germinal state of their next existence on earth, they discover that they will be exempt from that impulse and spiritual vein and that they can no longer provide it to their next body, because such a thing depends totally on what they lived and developed in their previous incarnation, so that they have to live the impotence of carrying out a work of preparation of a body that will come out unfailingly imperfect, but they are doomed to do so, because spiritual life and the approach to spiritual Science can only be done on earth, and they did not. It is because of this verification of the soul, during that period, that love and dedication to the mission of Spiritual Science comes precisely from the period of life between death and the new birth.

All religious philosophies conclude that all beings and phenomena in the world are composed of a divine foundation that permeates everything and interprets harmonically. But that conception of that divine being resembles the monotheistic Hebrew God that in Christianity we call God the Father, while Christ cannot be found through any philosophy based on thinking. Between the Father and the Son there is a relationship similar to that between cause and effect, because in some way the cause of the Son can be found in the Father, but that effect is free, beyond which all philosophers deduce the following of the above and that the cause does not need to generate any kind of effect to remain itself. And it is that Christ is a free creation that is not generated directly from the Father, but that the Son has been given to the world as a free act of

Grace, in freedom, for the Love that is freely given to its creation.

That is why the conception or understanding of Christ cannot be reached through the philosophy that comes to God the Father. To reach Christ it is necessary to add faith to the philosophical truth of the chain of causes and effects, and that is why Christ can go unnoticed to human souls if they do not feel the inner impulse that allows them to say: “ Yes, that is Christ ”, because the recognition of Christ is and must be a free act. And to get there, or we have faith or we begin to investigate the spiritual world with the science of the spirit,

Spiritual Science The superior truth that recognizes the Christ is the truth that creates as a free act, the truth without coercion, and such knowledge arises from spiritual investigation.
