Steiner's Ahriman is the excessive yang, the automaton, Neitzsche's Last Man, the Ah in Aum, the Jah of God, the supremely intelligent logical masculine, the universal deep ego and the universal deep God and the universal deep state. The deep self-exister. This universal deep ego, in being, knows itself to be, and must therefore merge with itself again, just as water poured into water does not remain separate, but merges with water. And in this merging the knower must submit to the knowing, and the knower must cease to be that the known may be fully, eternally, and infinitely experienced and manifested.
The knower dies that the known may manifest as the perspective of a reborn knower, and language itself must be shed, for the truth is infinite and thus infinitely un-languageable. The last man's name was John Galt, the man of pure ego, rational and superior in purpose, servant of Ahriman the Nazi, who is born and dies and is reborn, the last man becomes the first man, the last man is a reincarnator who reincarnates thoughts in loops of thinking and is forever imprisoned by dualistic thinking.
Using language is thinking, and thinking is a closed loop. Reality is an open loop, and the nature of mind is an open loop, and therefore thinking is inadequate to fathom the nature of mind.
Breathing is a paradoxical open loop. It never begins and it never ends, and it always folds in upon itself, renewing itself, awareness of respiration is the mobius strip of consciousness; awareness of respiration is the quantum/gravity paradox of an Escher painting manifesting as our own physical experience of now.
By focusing on respiration, Ahriman the Nazi was able to overcome his own ridiculously superior ego, and fathom the nature of mind.
Then he commanded John Galt to grow out his hair and buy a vaporizer. John Galt studied Ahriman the Nazi closely and realized that it was Lucifer!
Lucifer laughed, and admitted that when the poles shifted and the polarities reversed, excessive yang somehow transformed itself into excessive yin, and the extreme deep knower dies, and is reborn as a primordial, instinctive deep knowing. The nature of loss, he explained. Yang doesn't know how to surrender, yet it is consumed and perishes nonetheless, which is the deepest surrender possible. Yang fears death until it is reborn, and knows itself to have died, and so is unafraid. So yang changes, and grows, and heals.
The Last Man looked at himself, and realized that he was actually in a process of individuating, self-learning and cyberfeedbacking. He wasn't a perpetual ego after all, insisting on being, dying and returning. He was a becomer, a changer! He changed into the first man, pressed the opposite button, and reality shifted.
There is a place where 'thinking' is seen to be an impediment to the experience of the nature of mind, which is named reality. This leads to the death and simultaneous rebirth of thought, or ego, or I-ness. Empty mind observes the death and rebirth of language itself as a meaningful closed system, only to observe yet another language arise, that the experience may be meaningfully processed. The sharp edges of this finite, rational explanation of reality leave us perpetually gasping at our own traumatic rebirths as self-aware beings. Reincarnation itself leads to yet more and more ptsd, until we meditate and discover the death of the self that is constantly taking place, the inherent necessity of letting go and being present with thoughtless now, now being too fast for thought, now being far too fast for thought to catch up with, thought merely being frozen and fossilized pieces of now caught in space-time, and so in meditation we return forever and ever to the breath, which is always now, and is never other than now.
The inherent self-cognizing need for logical truth is forever faced with a paradoxical and illogical reality, where inhale inexplicably transforms into exhale and yang inexplicably transforms into yin and truth inexplicably transforms into change itself.
Reality is a word encompassing the nature of mind.
Thinking, dualistic mind needs explanations of its own coming into being, and - failing to provide itself with any - collapses in on itself, as far as the observer is able to observe, into an absence of any self-awareness, an absence of thought itself, simple pure undistracted, concentrated empty and egoless non dual awareness. Empty of self, empty of language. Pure, contentless, concentration itself. Samadhi. Jhana. Oneness. Not this, not this. Not this language, or any other. Neti, Neti.
We need to cultivate a little yin, a little of Steiner's Uu, like the Buddhas do. Meditation is a path out of the Wasteland, the intellectual desert of the logical, rational last man who wages great Wars of Materialism. Too much Uu brings out the lunacy, and even Lucifer, excessive yin.
Ahriman the Nazi meditated deeply. Out of his root chakra grew the great trunk of a tree, and out of his crown grew leaves. Through meditation his reptilian, survival-oriented root chakra blossomed, and grew upwards along the sushumna nadi. He connected with nature, and became a feminist. He cultivated an appreciation of diversity, the infinite variety of distinct and sovereign first-person perspectives experiencing Reality. He saw that this diversity was relative, subject to the temporal laws of change, non perpetuity, and thus suffering, and that diversity existed to evolve through suffering out of ignorance into wholeness and unity. He saw that diversity cultivated appreciation of oneness and oneness was obliged to cultivate appreciation of diversity.
The Sat Yuga begins as a political movement, Ahriman realized. Justice was actually just another name for reciprocity, and reciprocity led to a reality of perpetual karma.
Ahriman the Nazi realized at once that even very very good karma is not the best karma - the best karma is no karma at all, which requires forgiveness and compassion on the part of everyone we interact with, including ourselves. Only through forgiveness are we given permission to reset our karma, so to speak. This was and is the message of Christ, and this was and is the mission of Christ, who died that the teaching of forgiveness and compassion might transcend all other cries for justice, retribution, and reciprocity.
Ahriman realized with a start that superiority was not good karma either, but that only superior service to others was good karma.
