 The archetypal phenomenon of man, the pentagram of the microcosm within the "triangle" of evil, is reversed in this "complex" way if it refuses Christ’s helping hand (fig. 16). It will be "reversed" in the sphere of social life as it has come to particularly great and even decisive importance in the epoch of the consciousness-soul. The setups of evil shown in the figure basically integrate the entire spiritual elite of today’s humanity. Everything that in one way or another is gifted and creative serves one or even several forms of evil. Hardly has a human being discovered his creative abilities, he is seduced, attracted or recruited by corresponding associations, parties and orders. Other paths to self-realization will be closed to him. Human talent and the ability to develop are turned into colossal dangers. Average people within the mass are manipulated. We have arrived at the conclusion of our consideration. Five-headed evil working in the five centers of worldly power is not the result of "free" play of bad tendencies in individuals, but a strictly integrated, spiritual (or better, anti-spiritual) unity, we could even say –organism that is super-sensibly personified. It denounces civilization and humanity as well as inevitably itself due to its inherent lawfulness (explaining the grim fight of its individual aspects), but still existing as a whole. Looked at purely from the cognitive point of view, it is an utterly interesting phenomenon of reversed dialectics. It contains a striving for synthesis ruled only by negation; its rudimentary elements do not attain higher existence due to cancellation. (This opens for us a deep understanding of the essential difference between Marxist and Hegelian dialectics.) In this case egocentricity acquires eternal character –the attribute of the higher world. But man should not enter this "infinity" because nobody knows what could happen to him if he were to be transferred back into the original condition of a "clump of clay".

| The Enigma of Canon XI The 'Abolition' of the Spirit – The Year 869 & Its Significance in the Destiny of Europe By Terry Boardman  |
At the Christmas Conference for the refounding of the Anthroposophical Society Dec. 24th 1923 – 1st Jan. 1924 , Rudolf Steiner restored to western culture something that had been lost for nearly 1100 years, namely, the threefold image of Man – once known as the Trichotomy - the image of Man as consisting of body, soul and spirit. This had been missing since the year 869, when it was deviously 'abolished' by fiat of a Church Council. In the years 1916-1924 Steiner laid ever greater emphasis on the historical significance of the 8th Ecumenical Council of Constantinople 869 (1), which is usually completely ignored in conventional histories, and which, he often said, had "abolished the human spirit". By that he meant the Council had denied the separate existence in each individual of a spiritual soul through which the individual could seek communion with the spiritual world; instead, the individual was to depend on the Church and its hierarchy for guidance. The 11th Canon (ruling) of the Council closed off for westerners the individual's path to the spiritual world, which remained open in Asia through meditation and other spiritual practices. |
