Created page with "Above all, the higher hierarchies are regarded as '''spiritual beings''', to which man, as the tenth and lowest level, is also to be counted, who,..."

New page

Above all, the [[Hierarchy of angels|higher hierarchies]] are regarded as '''spiritual beings''', to which [[man]], as the tenth and lowest level, is also to be counted, who, as the only spiritual being, also reveals himself in a closed sensual form at the same time. The spiritual beings also include [[Adversaries|adversary powers]] such as [[Lucifer]], [[Ahriman]] and the [[Asuras]].

The [[elementary beings]] who are directly active in nature, although they are certainly of a supersensible nature, cannot be counted among the spiritual beings in the proper sense, since they do not have an independent [[I]], i.e. their own individual [[spirit]].

All effects in the world ultimately emanate from spiritual entities that live in different [[Conditions of Consciousness]]. In their [[consciousness]] lies the original source and the actual substance from which reality is woven:
