Ариманический интеллект (Русский/Еnglish)

„Вместо этого, однако, существует возможность, чтобы за короткое время до того, как мы родимся — не очень задолго до того, как мы родимся, — наряду с нашей душой, нашим телом, подсознательной частью нашего тела, завладевало еще иное духовное существо. Так оно и происходит: за короткое время до того, как мы родимся, нас пронизывает другое, — сегодня согласно нашей терминологии мы бы сказали, — ариманическое духовное существо. Оно находится в нас так же, как и наша собственная душа. Эти существа, которые ведут свою жизнь именно благодаря тому, что используют самих людей для того, чтобы иметь возможность пребывать в той сфере, где они желают пребывать, — эти существа обладают необычайно высоким интеллектом и совершенно замечательно развитой волей, но души — того, что называют человеческой душой, — они совершенно не имеют. И таким вот образом мы проходим по жизни, мои милые друзья, что имеем свою душу и такого двойника, который много смышленее, много-много смышленее, чем мы, который очень умен, но обладает мефистофельским умом, ариманическим умом и к тому же еще ариманической волей, очень сильной волей, волей, которая гораздо ближе стоит к силам природы, чем наша человеческая воля, регулируемая душой.

(…) Эти существа с высоким интеллектом, но с чисто мефистофельским интеллектом, и с волей, более родственной природе, чем это можно сказать о человеческой воле, — они когда-то по своей собственной воле решили, что они не желают жить в том мире, который был предназначен для их жизни исполненными мудрости божествами высших Иерархий. Они захотели овладеть Землей — они нуждались в телах; собственных тел у них нет; насколько только возможно, они используют человеческие тела, поскольку человеческая душа не может целиком заполнить человеческое тело.

Следовательно, при том, как развивается человеческое тело, эти существа могут проникнуть в это человеческое тело в определенный момент перед рождением человека, и они сопровождают нас под порогом нашего сознания.“

“The opportunity therefore exists a short time before we are born (not very long before we are born) for another spiritual being in addition to our soul to take possession of our body, of the subconscious part of our body.

A short time before we are born we are permeated by another being; in our terminology we would call it an Ahrimanic spirit-being. This is within us just as our own soul is within us. These beings spend their life using human beings in order to be able to be in the sphere where they want to be. These beings have an extraordinarily high intelligence and a significantly developed will, but no warmth of heart at all, nothing of what we call human soul warmth (Gemüt). Thus we go through life in such a way that we have both our souls and a double of this kind, who is much more clever, very much more clever than we are, who is very intelligent, but with a Mephistophelian intelligence, an Ahrimanic intelligence, and also an Ahrimanic will, a very strong will, a will that is much more akin to the nature-forces than our human will, which is regulated by the warmth of soul (Gemüt).

In the nineteenth century, natural science discovered that the nervous system is permeated by electrical forces. Natural science is right. But when natural scientists believe that the nerve-force that belongs to us as the basis of our conceptual life has something to do with electrical streams that go through our nerves, then they are incorrect. For the electrical streams, which are the forces put into us by the being I have just mentioned and described, do not belong to our own being at all. We carry electrical streams in us, but they are of a purely Ahrimanic nature.

These beings of high intelligence, but of purely Mephistophelian intelligence, and with a will more akin to nature than can be said of the human will, these beings once decided out of their own will that they did not want to live in that world in which they were destined to live by the wisdom-filled gods of the higher hierarchies. They wanted to conquer the earth, and to do this they need bodies; they do not have bodies of their own. They make use of as much of the human body as they can, because the human soul cannot entirely fill up the human body.

As the human body develops, these beings are able to enter this human body at a definite time before the human being is born, and below the threshold of our consciousness they accompany us. There is only one thing in human life that they absolutely cannot endure: they cannot endure death. Therefore they must always leave this human body, in which they have established themselves, before that body succumbs to death. This is a very harsh disappointment again and again, for just what they want to attain — to remain in human bodies beyond death — is thwarted. To do this would be a lofty achievement in the kingdom of these beings. Up until now they have not attained it.

Had the Mystery of Golgotha not occurred, had Christ not passed through the Mystery of Golgotha, conditions on earth would have been such that these beings would long ago have attained the possibility of remaining within the human being when he is karmically predestined for death. Then they would have completely triumphed over human evolution on earth, they would have become masters of human evolution on earth.”

Dimitrios Stavrou Peroulas from Greece wrote:

“In the spiritual-scientific circles today there are a large number of people who think that they can obviously think quite clearly. Because Ahriman penetrates the mineral world, these people develop great intelligence. It’s about the Ahriman in them; it’s much more comfortable to allow the Ahriman to think in you than to think yourself. And because so many people allow Ahriman to think in them, these attacks naturally come from the Ahriman side. These things have an inner spiritual connection that we have to discern. Therefore, one should not blame us when we are forced to retaliate very hard blows to that which would like to destroy Spiritual Science and with it Slavic People from the ground up.”
