The Incarnation of Ahriman: The Embodiment of Evil on Earth:

The Incarnation of Ahriman: The Embodiment of Evil on Earth: Seven Lectures Given Between October and December 1919

Ahriman is a significant figure of Persian mythology. Rudolf Steiner, however, spoke of Ahriman as an actual, living spiritual entity. This being, he said, works to embed human beings firmly into their physicality, thus encouraging dull, materialistic attitudes and a coarse, dry intellect. In these extraordinary lectures, Steiner assumes a rare prophetic mode. He talks about an actual incarnation of Ahriman on Earth and the potential consequences of this event. Just as Christ incarnated in a physical body, so would Ahriman incarnate in the Western worldâ‚¬â€¢before â‚¬Å“a partâ‚¬Â of the third millennium has passed.

Steiner places this incarnation in the context of a â‚¬Å“cosmic triadâ‚¬Â that includes Ahriman, Lucifer, and Christ. Ahriman will incarnate as a counterpoint to the physical incarnation of Lucifer, which took place in the East during the third millennium B.C. The incarnation of Jesus Christ took place in Palestine as the point of balance between the two.

During the period when Steiner developed Anthroposophyâ‚¬â€¢a teaching career of more than twenty years that included over than six thousand lecturesâ‚¬â€¢he spoke of Ahrimanâ‚¬s incarnation only six times. For the first time, these six lectures (plus a supporting excerpt) are reproduced in their entirety in a single volume.
