It seems there’s been a conflict going on ‘behind the veil,’ and humans are largely unaware of this.

It’s got something to do with the ‘Eighth Sphere’ and its relationship with the evolution of humanity upon the Earth.

It is said that the mystery surrounding the ‘Eighth Sphere’ is a key to the problem of evil in the Universe…

…there can be a considerable danger when the lower nature of humanity is attracted to certain forces beyond the physical realm, as a harmful relationship can be brought into manifestation…there are certain energetic forces that seek to attract and form ‘bonds of influence’ with human beings between realms.

Through certain rituals and practices, many of which are brought into being through ignorance, these forces can gain a stronger influence over aspects of earthly existence.

One twentieth century occultist referred to the Eighth Sphere as a ‘shadow Sphere’ that was controlled by shadow beings. This realm seeks to capture and pull away what may be termed ‘materialized spiritual energy’ from the Earth sphere into the Eighth Sphere. This realm, the Eighth Sphere, is like a vacuum – it sucks things into its own existence, a shadowy realm. It is vibrationally and developmentally lower than the earth sphere. It is said that the shadow beings can be more cunning and intelligent than humankind for they lack our conscience and compassion.

These shadow beings wish to fill their realm with human souls, so they have placed portals upon the earth that act as conduits for sucking up lower forms of spiritual energy from the Earth plane. These portals can be opened by certain rituals, as in black magic, or through naïve seances and ‘spiritualist’ style meetings and channelling. They wish to trap human soul-energy into their shadow realm – like a realm of the damned. These beings are similar to demons, and they counteract the evolutionary impulse within humankind. According to Rudolf Steiner, these can be referred to as Ahrimanic beings, and the Eighth Sphere as an abode of Ahriman.


The activity for the Eighth Sphere is taking place behind the scenes of our existence. We can see much of this ‘behind the scenes’ activity now manifesting in our modern lives as rapidly advancing material technologies – especially, artificial intelligence programs, automated algorithms, and data-infrastructures.

Whenever people, both individually and collectively, have their freedoms curtailed, their will bent by persuasion, propaganda, or force, and their sovereign rights suppressed, then they are being steered towards the realm of the Eighth Sphere. Any society that does not protect the freedom and will of the human individual is fostering a society of enslavement. And enslavement, whether through force or willing compliance, is an environment ideally suited to the domination of counter-evolutionary forces.

In our times, this is emerging through the machinic impulse…
