Ahriman’s Eighth Sphere

The Eighth Sphere, as described by Rudolf Steiner, is a realm that is not directly perceptible by human senses and is not bound by the material world. It is a realm that counteracts the evolutionary path of humankind and is controlled by Luciferic and Ahrimanic forces. These forces strive to strip humanity of certain energies, which are then used to energize the formation and existence of this realm. The Eighth Sphere is a shadowy realm that acts as a vacuum, sucking in lower forms of spiritual energy from the Earth plane through portals opened by rituals or naïve practices. It is a realm that is vibrationally and developmentally lower than the Earth sphere and is controlled by shadow beings who lack the conscience and compassion of humans.
