“The Christ will become a living comforter. Many a human being will have this experience when sitting silent in his room, heavy-hearted and oppressed, not knowing which way to turn. The door will open, and the etheric Christ will appear and speak words of consolation to him. The Christ will become a living Comforter to humans. Many a time when people – even in considerable numbers – are sitting together, not knowing what to do, and waiting, they will see the Etheric Christ. He will Himself be there, will confer with them, will make His voice heard in such gatherings. These times are approaching, and this positive, constructive element will take real effect in the evolution of mankind.”  Rudolf Steiner, GA 130

The difference between Christian hell and the Eighth Sphere is that fallen beings from the ranks of the hierarchy also have fallen into this realm and exert much pressure on souls to turn away from the spirit and look solely to the material plane and the sub-natural plane below them – the realm of hell.

This is a realm where many of the dead get caught by their materialistic vices and are imprisoned in their insatiable desires. Fallen light, in the form of electromagnetism, helps construct this sub-earthly plane that pulls angels and humans into a dark realm devoid of spirit.

It is a realm of living death, frustration from addictions, and a cold immoral hell made of the cast-off dross of the material world.

The Eighth Sphere is a subterranean layer beneath the earth where demons from many realms try to immorally consume human willpower as their means of incarnating into the material world. Thus, it is also called the “hell realm of hungry ghosts.”

Perhaps love is like a resting place
A shelter from the storm
It exists to give you comfort
It is there to keep you warm
And in those times of trouble
When you are most alone
The memory of love will bring you home

The supersensible nature of the heart is the penultimate expression of the human soul and spirit. From ancient teachings to modern research, there is no greater sense organ that exists beyond the human heart. The modern view that the brain is the seat of the mind and consciousness is simply partial truth. Without the heart being in coherence with the brain, the brain is only a mirror of the five senses that is lacking wisdom without the participation of the heart. Brain-bound thinking leads to cold, dead, materialistic shadow-thinking that will not get beyond superficial knowledge.

But heart-thinking, the source of wisdom extracted from experience, is the key to understanding the meaning of life and the reality of life after death.

Demonic possession, exorcisms, Luciferic egotism, Satan worship, and obsession with evil seems to arise in the news everyday and yet there is little understanding of what the nature of those beings and forces are, or what their intent and mission is in relationship to the evolution of the human spirit. Dr. Rudolf Steiner tells us more about these issues than any other person in modern times. It behooves us to listen closely to his indications on these topics so that we might understand the biography of demons, devils, and fallen angels.

Decades ago Jackson Brown wrote a song called “Before the Deluge” that clearly described the longings of his generation to seek peace not war and to “go back to the land” in  true millennialist’s fashion. It was a cry for help to the divine to shed mercy on those who wish to preserve, respect, and cherish Mother Nature.

Their longing for that which “comes down from the sky”, like New Jerusalem, is the mood of soul that arises as an awakened initiate approaches the threshold between the physical and spiritual worlds. These yearnings for the spirit to descend from heaven into the prepared “heart of longing” of each individual is a necessary prerequisite to  properly approach the dweller of the threshold and the unseen world beyond.

Jackson Brown was promoting building a bio-ark with Natura to weather the storm and ride out the deluge that was so clearly coming.

The “City of Babylon” has been around since 2000 BC developing a world-wide network of Satanic followers who use the ancient institutions of Babylon to maintain a powerful network of evil social, economic, political, and cultural organizations that have been continuously in control of the physical world for 4000 years. These bankers, tax-collectors, warmongers, and political elite refuse to let their personal aggrandizement be deterred from world domination. They are literally an evil lineage of banking families that are hidden behind most of the world’s worshipers of money, power, and control.

The end times is here and the Seventh Angel has released the seventh bowl. These events are happening on a grand scale in these “end times” and we must prepare ourselves to understand the mystery of the Cosmic Christ and then make ourselves ready for the bridegroom. New Jerusalem is descending from heaven, and we must make ready for the wedding feast. We must continue to preach the Eternal Gospel and sing the New Song of the Lamb if we wish to join the wedding party. This alone will ensure the completion of the plan of God to help his prodigal children return to their rightful inheritance upon the throne of God and the Lamb.
