Glimpses of the Left..

Everything on a of view ... Initiation obtained by Steiner was
Christian, and thus, the Christian of values is a frame of reference
for him and he formulates his opinions and postulates from this deeply
christocentric viewpoint. That is why Steiner often calls demonic entities
II dangerous" or "formidable" they lead man away from Christ. Thus,
Ahrimanic or Luciferic (not to even mention As uric) initiation appears to
be rather than When we try to examine this
problem from a different perspective - Luciferk for example - then the
Christian initiation to be an escape from the true, gorgeous
the rejection of individual dreams about anti-humanist
affirmation of humility and safety, acceptation of suffering, adoption of an
attitude which is shallow in its one-sided negation of the

aims to obtain knowledge about the Asuras, Ahriman and Lucifer should
treat all of assessing statements with having in mind that
they are formulated from a deeply christocentric point of view and that
they result from the Christian ethical which completely

concrete individuals. That is why I will often write about them using the
plural form - Asuric, Ahrimanic and Luciferic beings. Out of my inborn

description of Asuric The Asuras appear only in the last of
Steiner's revelations and we know about them much less than about other
more detailed information about them is

vague way.
A vast number of those who write about anthroposophy tend to skip the
As uric beings in their texts (I presume find this subject completely
uninteresting, or it evokes in them a of abomination which is
incredibly difficult to overcome ... ), the others only mention them
