Join me today at 2pm ET for a new lecture: The Guardian Angel Across the Ages: Paganism, Plato, and Christianity.
Believe it or not, humanity has not always been able to perceive the personal guardian angel. Our ability to recognize this spiritual companion developed gradually as human consciousness evolved.
In early humanity, perception was more collective and tribal. Rather than experiencing a personal angel, people perceived the spiritual being that guided their tribe or people as a whole. In Anthroposophy this being is called the Folk Spirit, while in Christian tradition it corresponds to the Archangel.
By the Greek period, leading up to the Incarnation, humanity began to individuate from the tribe. As this process unfolded, the personal guiding angel became more perceptible. In this context we encounter Plato’s concept of the Daimon, and the activity of angels, the rank below the Archangels, begins to appear in human awareness.
Finally, with the Incarnation of Christ, humanity attained a deeper level of individuality. From this point forward, the idea of the personal guardian angel emerges as a central element in the spiritual development of the individual.
The fact that this tweet of mine is now at almost 600k likes is absolutely insane. People are sick of AI. Ever since posting this, I've been bombarded with messages about how happy people are that they can finally filter out the slop. We need to keep fighting.
With verse 27 of Rudolf Steiner's Calendar of the Soul, we carry the sun-forces of Archangel Michael, the countenance of the Christ, into the dying material world. At this time we begin the "Summer of the Soul" nurturing cosmic forces within ourselves. https://t.co/w9s4juKHGT
