Lainson’s description of Ahriman

Posted on by leyoucis

The plan of Ahriman is to mechanize all of creation. Steiner placed the incarnation of Ahriman shortly after the year 2000. People must choose whether they will pull themselves up from the abyss or whether they will choose to sleep and let evil pass by unnoticed. Technology feeds on the soul and one can become apathetic to Ahrimanic entrapment brought through technologies of all kinds. At this time, 2021, the incarnation of Ahriman may be very near. This second death may result in a complete severance from the spiritual worlds. Man and machine could merge coupled with an explosion in machine intelligence and expansions in gene research and nanotechnology. This will result in a lack of distinction between the biological and the mechanical or between the physical and the virtual. With these innovations, the bodies limitations will be transcended and illness will be eradicated. We will be able to manufacture any physical product on demand and hunger and poverty will be solved. Going beyond virtual reality, new technologies assisting Ahriman will be developed. Virtual reality will be eclipsed by augmented reality. People will be drawn into Ahrimanic Maya.1 Elsewhere in the book, Lainson mentions the beast’s mass biological manipulation of food products.

On the Beast

I do not regard Hitler to be the beast. Perhaps he was the beast, but he probably was a very mild version of the beast. I see the Nazis as revolting against freemasonry and anthroposophy mainly do to the monetary inequalities and the technology. Nazism was correct in theory but incorrect in implementation. The pragmatics were done out of necessity. The Nazis didn’t have an issue with the idealism but the reductionism. The natural spiritual development got cut off with national socialism but some of the spiritual developments were technologically motivated. That’s the Nazis reason for reacting against freemasonry and anthroposophy. Other organizations have alternative reasons for the reaction. Schellings organic idealism by itself is not necessarily a bad development. If watered down and handled correctly, his organic idealism is not the worst thing in the world.

On the Types of Occultism

Posted on by leyoucis

In her book The Circle of Twelve and the Legacy of Valentine Tomberg, Claudia Mclaren Lainson gives her description of the three occultisms. Occultism- that comes across to me as an Western invention, not to be of concern to Easterners. But lets go ahead with it anyways.

Through the Christian rosenkreutz, the founder of the Rosicrucian order, came the origin of the three occultisms.1 The three occultisms are eugenic, hygienic, and mechanical. Tomberg placed Zarathustra under eugenic occultism, but I have a suspicion that Steiner placed Zarathustra under mechanical occultism. The union of the temple created a bridge between eugenic and hygienic occultism. Petrine Catholicism is associated with eugenic; Pauline Protestantism with hygienic, and Johannine orthodoxy with mechanical. We may further associate Moses with eugenic, Abraham with hygienic, and Elijah-john being with mechanical. Eugenic is associated with truth/law, hygienic with goodness/love, and mechanical with beauty/power. Eugenic is further characterized by thinking, hygienic by feeling, and mechanical by willing; These three occultisms can be associated with the trinity. Separate from these are red occultism corresponding to imagination/truth, white corresponding to inspiration/goodness, and blue occultism corresponding to intuition/beauty. That’s funny because I distinctively remember this being yellow occultism. White occultism is really yellow occultism in disguise. Maitreya is working to bring these occultisms together.

On the Supremacy of Eugenic Occultism

Instead of attempting to raise the dead through mechanical methods, perhaps it is best to bring Saoshyant to the earth through other methods such as with drugs. Rather than someone on this planet bringing the dead back to life through mechanical methods- the mechanical occultist interpretation- perhaps through the use of drugs, Saoshyant can be called down to the earth. Religious people have been having theophanies and so forth for many years and there is no reason for this to stop. By cutting off the drug flow you may be cutting off access to the divine. On the other hand, I am still a fan of the German idealist interpretation of the end times. Perhaps with Schelling’s organic idealism, global warming, and so forth- a disease of some sort will bring the dead back to life. There are some indications in the scientific lore that this may be possible. Is eugenic occultism only one type of occultism along with mechanical for example? I’m not so sure. There can be only one truth and everything else is a deviation. My doctrine can perhaps be regarded to be a type of occultism since it is leaping into the transcendent and not appealing to previous esotericisms. But perhaps it would be more appropriate to label this doctrine magical- outside of Steinerian analysis. Further, it can perhaps be argued that this is the way things always were.

Anthroposophy on Martinism

Posted on by leyoucis

In her book The Circle of Twelve and the Legacy of Valentin Tomberg, Claudia McLaren Lainson gives her description of Anthroposophy and Martinism.

Anthroposophy is a collection of original insights based on a new astrology. There are two streams of thought: the Platonic and the Aristotelian. The Platonic and Aristotelian streams need to work together in a harmony. The Platonists must be recognized.1 The Platonic stream is more revelatory and the Aristotelian stream is more sensed based. Platonic thinking relates more to the interplay between the astral and etheric bodies as it comes to expression by way of correspondences between “above” and “below” while Aristotelian thinking is thought of as living in the interplay between the physical and etheric bodies as this interplay comes to expression through metamorphosis. The Platonic stream is not necessarily idealism but uses a different mode of thought process than what is required in the Aristotelian stream.2 Tomberg was a Platonist who was aligned with Russian orthodoxy3. Tomberg is in the title of the book, but is mostly mentioned in the first third of the book and the rest of the text turns into a standard anthroposophy text. Tomberg belonged to a specific form of Platonism that emerged in the late 18th century called Martinism. Tomberg at first belonged to the anthroposophy movement in the 1930s, but later departed- which culminated in the writing of his major work Meditations on the Tarot.4

Excerpts and analysis

Lainson speaks of the flowering of the platonic stream that will occur at the beginning of the 21st century5. Really? Is Lainson suggesting these developments are temporary? Martinist doctrines usually last 100 or 200 years. As a vehicle for capitalism, these doctrines are probably slightly but only such less robust than the law of attraction, but this is forgetting the further developments in the doctrine. Once further developments are taken into consideration, this doctrine is perhaps more robust than the law of attraction. Indeed, there is some overlap between my analysis and Lainson’s. But in particular, my analysis implements a fictionalization of the yuga periods and a continuing within a semi-egoistic framework.

Lainson warns the public about the coming of Ahriman- he who attempts to mechanize society6. You can say the religious are not very smart as they are giving a made-up name to Nietzsche. However, Ahriman is not Nietzsche, he’s Nietzsche mixed with pragmatism, mixed with transcendent materialism, and a few other things. Notice there is an “h” in Ahriman for Johann. Ahriman switches the real Fichte into a fake Fichte. This is bad for a number of reasons. (i) it makes the Germans appear to be stronger than they really are- who made the switch into reductionism was the French not the Germans. (ii) it removes the stance taken at some point in history that all two men are born with identical intellects. (iii) it removes the statement of Fichte as the inventor of modern Fiction. And I’m outlining all of my reasons from the renaissance and modern periods why this should not take place. If you don’t take the philosophy of the past into consideration, you’re going to have to extend life to 300 years old to give back what they took away. Bergson does not want a large amount of duration- that’s a misunderstanding of Bergson’s philosophy. Bergson wants a medium amount of duration in order to slow time down.

Lainson also mentions a new culture that will emerge in the 20th century and will start around the year 2014 and I assume what she means is some of the stuff that is occurring on YouTube7. However, other than the monetary inequalities and some of the ideology involved, I take Freemasonry to Anthroposophy any day of the week. And the monetary inequalities result from the enlightenment ideals. Other than the enlightenment ideals, Freemasonry gets my stamp of approval- it’s a perfectly legitimate existential situation. And again, Bergson does not want a large amount of duration Bergson wants a medium amount of duration. Philosophy and the humanities are best approached through the colleges; philosophers don’t really like to compete in things. If the colleges are loosened up things will operate much more smoothly than they are now; and most of the people going on YouTube are northern European anyway. They are butchering history! The appropriate context to see history is through a philosophical framework par Gentile.
