In the modern world, ahrimanic shadow-thoughts rule the day. Our media devices are so alluring and addictive that children and adults seldom turn away from them for long. Whether those platforms are television, smart phones, game systems, computers, or virtual reality, they are seductive distractions that draw our attention away from the invisible spiritual to the materialism of an electronic world where Ahriman ensnares us in his spider web network of grey shadow thoughts.
The ego of the unwitting devotee of Ahriman is entangled in Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and a plethora of electronic prisons that fabricate a false version of the human ego – a digital-ego that “appears” to be connected with other human egos, but is, in fact, a complete mirage of one’s true ego.
