Does he say Sorath? 🤔👇
In religious contexts, "Sorath" has two distinct meanings depending on the tradition:
Occult/Esenoteric Christianity (Western Tradition)
In Western occultism and Anthroposophy, Sorath is a solar spirit/demon:
Planetary Spirit: In Cornelius Agrippa's Three Books of Occult Philosophy (1533), Sorath is the spirit of the Sun, opposed by the benevolent intelligence Nakhiel. The name derives from Hebrew letters (סורת) whose numerical values sum to 660+6+200+400 = 666—the "number of the beast" from Revelation.
Rudolf Steiner's Teaching: In Anthroposophy, Steiner described Sorath as a powerful evil being—the "Sun-Demon"—connected to the number 666 and predicted to oppose spiritual development after the turn of the millennium. Unlike Lucifer (pride/false illumination) or Ahriman (materialism), Sorath represents "direct hatred of the spiritual itself."

Death is not the end, but a transition. The soul alternates between embodied life on Earth and a spiritual existence between deaths, preparing for rebirth under karmic guidance.
Below are some quotes by Rudolf Steiner on death, reincarnation and how we can maintain our bond to those who have passed on to the other side. I hope that this can be a source of comfort, strenght and renewed hope to those who are currently in grief. 🫂🙏🏻
______________________
On Continued Presence
"Those who have passed through the gate of death have not ceased to be present; it is only that our eyes have ceased to see them." GA 182
"When children die in early life they continue to be with us—spiritually with us. I should like to give it to you as a theme for meditation, that when little children die they are not lost to us; we do not lose them, they stay with us spiritually." — GA 182
"Of older people who die, the opposite may be said. Those who are older do not lose us. We do not lose little children; elderly people do not lose us." — GA 182
"Human life will unfold in an earthly existence between birth and death and in a spiritual existence between death and a new birth" GA 69d
"The purpose of life between death and rebirth is that forces may be drawn from the stellar world for shaping the following incarnation" GA 141
______________________
On Transforming Grief into Gratitude
"When we lose people we love, we must be able to raise ourselves to a feeling of thankfulness that we have had them; we must be able to think selflessly of what he was to us until his death." — GA 181, Earthly Death and Cosmic Life
"If we clearly understand that the feeling of having lost them weighs them down, we shall keep in mind the whole bearing... to a feeling of thankfulness that we have had... we must be able to think selflessly of what he was to us until his death." — GA 181
______________________
On Maintaining Connection
"There is a living and perpetual intercourse between the so called Dead and the so-called Living." — GA 182
"We find our dead when we can meet in a common spiritual place with a common thought which he also perceives, when we can meet in this 'thought-in-common,' in a feeling of full companionship. We have the material for this through the medium of the feeling of gratitude." — GA 181
On How to Connect with the Departed
"Think about your experiences with him; visualize actual moments when you were together with him, and then ask yourself: What was it about him that particularly interested me, that attracted me to me? When was it that I was so deeply impressed, liked what he said, found it helpful and valuable?" — GA 182
"Suppose we have lost a child. The necessary feeling of gratitude can be brought about by picturing to ourselves how we sat with him and played with him in such a way that the game was as interesting as the child himself. When we can do this, we have the appropriate feeling of companionship... Thus, if we picture ourselves playing with the child in a truly living way, the place is created upon which our gaze and his can fall." — GA 181
On the Meaning of Our Pain
"When good friends pass away, I have often said that it is not the task of Anthroposophy to offer people shallow consolation for their pain or try to talk them out of their sorrow. One should grow strong enough to bear sorrow; not allow oneself to be talked out of it." — GA 182
On Their Continuing Influence
"A person's influence on their fellow human beings does not cease when they pass through the gate of death, and through their etheric body—with which they themselves remain connected—they send their imaginations into those with whom they have been connected." — GA 168

Death does not sever the bond of love and connection
Gratitude transforms grief into a bridge to spiritual communion
Visualization and memory create spaces where the departed can be present
The deceased continue to influence and guide those who remain.

NOSTR is NOT dead
The question isn't "how many people are posting notes on Damus or Primal right now?" — it's "what is being built on top of this protocol?"
And the answer is: a surprising amount...
My nostr feed is more lit than my ragebaity/low vibration X feed ever was.. I don't understand the dissatisfaction tbh?

I've never been, but I want to make a pilgrimage one day.
What does it feel like, for you, to be there?
I wanted to go since a long time and felt a lot of reverence. However I only had a couple of hours available this time and I would like to return for longer, to have time to meditate and read in peace.
More Goetheanum-porn..

Not yet, why do you ask?
Because the struggle that many dissident parents are facing is to stand up to tyranny without their small kids being forcefully taken away from them.

Are we approaching the greatest moment in human history?
Wild pod this with futurist, AI expert, transhumanist and co-founder of Symbian, David Wood.
Full episode - https://youtu.be/A-bMkwLOvSQ
Rudolf Steiner on transhumanism, materialism and AI:
Ahriman and the mechanization of the world. In Steiner's cosmology, Ahriman is a spiritual being representing materialism, hardening, intellectual coldness, and mechanistic thinking—the counterforce to warmth, love, and spirit. Steiner predicted an "incarnation of Ahriman" in the third millennium, whose influence would entice humanity to identify entirely with the material world. From this anthroposophical lens, the drive to merge humans with machines and to treat consciousness as uploadable data looks like a textbook expression of Ahrimanic influence.
The Eighth Sphere. In lectures around 1909, Steiner spoke cryptically of an "eighth sphere"—a kind of counterfeit or degraded creation into which certain adversarial beings seek to drag earthly substance and human soul-forces, diverting evolution away from its proper path. Steiner linked it to the realm of illusion and deception, and—relevantly for later interpretations—with electricity, magnetism, and technology. Contemporary anthroposophists frequently cite the eighth sphere when discussing digital worlds, virtual reality, and attempts to replicate consciousness in machines: in their reading, these risk reproducing exactly the "counterfeit of spiritual realities" Steiner warned about.
The brain as instrument, not producer of thought. In works like The Philosophy of Freedom, Steiner argued that the brain reflects thinking rather than generates it—consciousness is not reducible to neural machinery. This underpins the anthroposophical rejection of mind-uploading as ontologically confused: copying the "mirror" doesn't capture the thinker.
Materialism as a developmental phase, not an endpoint. Steiner saw the materialistic age as a necessary but temporary stage of human evolution—one that brings clarity and independence of thought, but becomes destructive if hardened into permanence.
