Use of Spiritual Forces, by BIOSOPHIA Editorial Team

As is known, through his insistence on numerous lectures given throughout his life, Steiner himself explained that it was a common experience for all the Mysteries of Antiquity to come to know the fact, at first sight somewhat surprising, that This World has not been created by the gods, by the Higher Positive Hierarchies, but, what is more, that the gods would be very satisfied if it could be destroyed quickly. In a talk by the creator of Anthroposophical Spiritual Science, some of its fragments stated the following: “The initiates saw the future situation in its exact details, both in relation to the human soul and also to the evolution of the world. They saw clearly that the world, which man would later come to know, would be not only external to man, but also to the Gods…. The initiates said: " The external world that we see is not divine, unless we project into what the Gods have granted us ." " We have around us a world that has not been originated by the Gods with whom we enter into communion in the Mysteries "….

“Through the initiation into the Mysteries it was learned that the external world had not originated from the Gods, who had originally projected a very different world. A particular event had caused man to immerse himself in a world not desired at all by the Gods ... ... With sufficient time, it could be proven that all ideas concerning the fall of man and his expulsion from paradise start from the recognition that the world around him is not a world created by the Gods ……. Attempts were made to discover the will of the Gods in relation to the world that they had not created and it became aware that what the Gods wanted was the disintegration, the annihilation of this world …… .. However, the initiates also they knew that man, with the aim of becoming independent, would have, at some point, to derive his human knowledge precisely from this material world that the Gods considered mature for its extinction. ” (Rudolf Steiner. Talk given at Dornach on May 7, 1922. Reproduced in the book: "The Human Soul in Relation with World Evolution." Anthroposophic Press. Spring Valley. New York. 1984. Pgs. 79 et seq.) .

Material reality, therefore, is the result of the Austrian Morphological Condensation, based on a Luciferic Ideation, and filled with dense physical material substance, which is the Creation of the Asuras, obtained by breaking and fragmenting the Spirit or Primal Substance. To generate dense physical matter it was necessary to have spiritual entities that could fragment and break the Spirit, to give rise to Matter, such as entities called Cold Thrones, also called Asuras. Then, as Steiner repeatedly explains, our material physical world was not created by the Creative Hierarchies belonging to the Father's line but by the mentioned Opponents. Our world is a rarity, and an anomaly in the order of the Cosmos governed by those Positive Hierarchies, which in turn know very well that the earth is something essential for the proper fulfillment of the plans of the Creator Word, the Christ, to the creation of the Tenth Hierarchy, that of those who are men today, the future Hierarchy of Beings of Love and Compassion.

In what we might call a correct spiritual path we can develop positive or beneficial characteristics, through appropriate spiritual exercise, through work on our astral structure (emotional or emotional), where all our instincts and feelings, where we can learn, perceive, feel, fear, worship, desire, think, etc. In the same way, in a deviated, or incorrect, spiritual path, we can, by ignorance or unconsciousness, be auspicious victims to be handled by people or groups in the service of dark, or evil forces.

As human beings throughout our cosmos, the scope in which our evolution develops, is the solar system. Outside of it there are stellar influences or external zodiacal forces that shape us. Although it might seem vanity or even arrogance, it is necessary to leave a fact, that it would have to be true in the long term if the plans of the divinity are implemented, and that is that the most important thing in our cosmos is We, the men, so that when the solar system was created, the last and fundamental end is to eventually have a protagonist: the human being. It was never a cosmos of love, of truth and beauty because already, from its inception, it was interfered by infernal or evil forces, in a dual universe that has to be permanently balanced by beneficial celestial influences .

Rudolf Steiner explains to us the existence of creative, vital or growing solar forces, which are directed to man in function of what he can receive and endure, which balance the paralyzing and necrine forces Tics, luciferic, ahrim nicas and asà © ricas, which operate on the human being through the Moon and the Earth.

An Unstable Balance

In the world of regular, beneficial Hierarchies, there is only Good, Truth and Harmony, but in a very complex evolutionary system such as ours, where there is a balance unstable, that order and balance is achieved, and that is when good can be manifested for all the beings that compose it, thanks to these Hierarchies.

In our physical ground physical habitat we receive influences from both levels, infernal and heavenly, and these last are really forces of the Father that come to us permanently through the Son, the forces of Christ without which We would just disappear. In our future it will be we, the men, who will have to put order by balancing both forces, where Good can manifest itself in all beings living on earth.

In order for this evolutionary system to work, it is required that there be a healthy and correct interdependence between all the constituent components: between the Angels, the Angels, Principalities, Powers, Virtues and Domination, which are nothing but spiritual hierarchies. that evolve with us, as well as with the armies of elementary beings of nature (substances from these hierarchies) that live in the mineral, vegetable, animal and human kingdoms, balanced by solar forces and lunar and modulated by stellar forces.

These forces are governed by cosmic laws that are spiritual essences with which we can relate through our thinking (the most important spiritual activity we can use), and in this way we can intervene in reality, modifying it. For thousands of years some human beings have learned to know those laws that govern the cosmos and have used them for different purposes, malefic or beneficial, according to their spiritual affinities. Formerly a simple person, in his unconsciousness, had no problems with either Good or Evil, but with the ability to think that we all have today, we are already hopelessly participating in those cosmic forces, whether we want it or not, consciously or almost Always, unconsciously. Part of those that govern the solar system are within the consciousness of all sentient beings, and in this sense we cannot forget that men have left behind three kingdoms that have not followed our evolutionary rhythm, thanks to which we support and can be human, and that are the mineral, vegetable and animal kingdoms.

We are the spearhead of the cosmic evolutionary process, still trying to overcome the animality we still have, which is possible thanks to our main tool, our thinking, which is what distinguishes us from animals. However, our entire battlefield remains, and will continue to be for a long time, our instincts and passions, our feelings and desires, which although they do not constitute our highest quality, it is the most potent we have, and it is precisely all that It manifests in our astral structure.

Needs and Desires

The needs of the human being have a limit, although many of them can be stimulated to grow, and then they transform into desires, which already lack limits, which is something that publicists know very well and handle publicists very well in our days, in is our western society of form, means and information.

What awareness does the human being have about the repercussions of his own desires ? Who cares about my wishes ? In principle, desires can be completely lawful when they are directed towards satisfying needs, which man needs for his development. The problem arises when, in order to satisfy the desires, within the material physical world in which we are, those cosmic forces are invoked or invoked for the exclusive selfish interest, for the obtaining of goods and services for " me " or for the " mine ”, above the legitimate needs of the rest and to the detriment of others (the rest of humanity, of the others with whom I am an indissoluble part, even if I ignore it). It may be the beginning of the unconscious action of the Forces of Evil in us, the gateway to what is known as Black Magic, something in which we are all participating, without knowing it.

Is it wrong to ask for something as normal as that such a thing is accomplished, through prayers or invocations of spiritual forces ? Well, it will depend on which forces are set in motion in relation to what kind of desires. It is not the same to desire the healing of a sick person, avoiding their suffering, that the one who touches us the lottery, or approve of oppositions using certain obscure methods, or that manages to make me with a millionaire mansion in California, wishes which will always be configured by passing over others, either by action or omission (and this for the simple reason that resources are always limited, and what I can get more, necessarily others will miss), etc, etc. . And at those levels the resource that always remains is useless, the self-deception that " I do not want evil for anyone, only good for me or mine."

The problem is the concept of “ normality ” at all levels with which these situations are assumed, very well seen, publicized and admired, with full socio-cultural and institutional support, in many cases conscious, and that only increase the power of evil forces in this world of matter.

In this sense, to know if something is correct or not, we can ask ourselves: what are the consequences of fulfilling my wishes in each case, for the whole, for my neighbor and for the whole world ? Many people with the capacity, perseverance and proper exercise, although illegitimate, of effective invocation of spiritual forces to their advantage, can see their desires satisfied. But this forms a whole world of stupid and ignorant winners who do not know the danger of falling, as disciples, into the hands of authentic black magicians, who do know exactly what they are doing. There are trained people, apparently formal, kind, socially respectable, who, above the cosmos, what they seek is to satisfy their own desires for wealth and power, at whatever cost.

When you really want to achieve certain ends, apart from the exercise and individual perseverance, the most effective work is the one that is done, for better or worse depending on the objectives, in groups or lodges through invocations to spiritual forces, prayers and rites to different levels and capacities, even years or centuries in advance. Steiner, for example, relates that the current materialist worldview had been preparing since the fifteenth century.

There are many books of the type of "New age" and self-development, sold by millions around the world, detailing how to be happy and get all kinds of goods, possessions and fulfillment of wishes through exercises of visualization and development of "positivity ”, Putting all spiritual energies at the service of the material world, which after all are nothing but authentic manuals sponsored by Black Magic. They play with the pain, sadness and despair of many people who unconsciously associate themselves with evil forces, under the falsehood that no harm is done to anyone. But we have already mentioned that if part of the cosmic forces are concentrated to the selfish service of oneself, it is at the cost of stealing part of them from everyone else, unbalancing the whole. Whatever is good for me, it must be for the whole. If something benefits me, it should benefit everyone, avoiding isolated requests for their own benefit excluding a part of the whole.

The Good of Humanity

The first step should be to recognize the realm of reality in which we are, within a material physical world in which the Forces of Evil that are related to it predominate, and thus begin to defend ourselves against this malignant superstructure in which we are involved, in a perverse Machiavellian system. We are all responsible for preserving the health of the whole, never harming it. Are my approaches exclusive or defend the whole, do I isolate myself from him sending negative thought forces, do I look only at my own ? In an authentic Christian conception, in which the love and fraternity of the whole of humanity as a whole, never selfish and individualistic, have to predominate, we cannot remain oblivious to this reality, out of ignorance or unconsciousness.

When we become aware of the situation we can begin to control it. What do we tune into ? Our physical, etheric or vital and astral or emotional bodies are permanently permeable to spiritual beings of all kinds who live in us, penetrate us and are part of our constitution. So far, as creatures, we have been protected. With the development of our conscience we begin to be co-creators and responsible for what forces we want to be related to, having to know how to differentiate from each other. Our astral body, where all our passions, desires, thoughts, etc, all the content of our soul are developed, in the end is the set of substances with which we identify naturally, good or bad. In us is to purify it in our waking consciousness.

What is the characteristic of the correct spiritual capacities ?: their making available to all beings through the development of fraternity and Christic love. And not to be "good", but to be useful to the whole, that is, to the evolutionary process of all, including not only all the kingdoms of nature, but also all the armies of spiritual and elemental beings that evolve with us. This is the basis of a Christian esotericism, which is no religion, and upon which the future depends on the entire solar cosmos, which is that of all who live in it.

Fraternity and Love

All of this requires a transformation in us, starting with the conscious awareness of the situation and wanting to change our attitude by abandoning immobility, which is the most difficult, knowing that we are all continuously emitters and receivers of spiritual forces that affect everyone and affect us. U.S. Everything that favors the whole will be correct and beneficial balancing the whole. The power of good is operative and is in our hands, and therefore we must be assertive with it, giving it its importance, and not giving more power to evil than it really has, which would feed and strengthen it.

The seizure of the self within the astral body, and of it within the central nervous system is the work of the opposing entities, and, above all, of the asuras, which constitutes the key to the existence of pain, and therefore the recomposition or The healing of our astrality must inevitably pass through our consciousness, based on the exercise of will and effort, in line with a perfectly ordered and just superior cosmos. While this material and asuric World, the World of Predators, to which neither the Christ, our Creator, nor to which we belong belongs, is perfectly defined in its structuring and conformation in the keys of these facts that, for information of those who might be interested in their origin, they are contained in the Steiner cycle, published in Spanish under the name of "World of the Senses, World of the Spirit".

Human beings have to begin to understand all this, knowing that there is a law of universal fraternity, superior to the most immediate laws of this world of matter, but perfectly applicable to it, which requires recognition and respect, starting with what we have closest, the neighbor, and continuing with the other kingdoms of nature and all the elementals. The contribution to the maintenance of the etheric or vital plane of the planet, and the quality of our astrality will influence the health of the whole group, knowing that there is an interdependence of each part with all the others, and of all in each one.
