economy and industry secular science instructed and taught the opposite 'winding'. Therefore, in lieu of the evolution-fostering (ennobling) spirit, it raised and reinforced the demon in the form of development-impeding electricism, as if by conveyor belt, to such an extent that the magnetism-generating Earth, which moves in cycloid-spiral-space-curves, is now incapable of neutralising the decomposive energies and their effects produced by millions upon millions of human beings. [The Energy Evolution - Harnessing Free Energy from Nature, Magnetism - Electricism]
It is hardly worth elaborating further about the opposite case in which the components of pressural force that produce decomposive energies predominate by almost 100%, i.e. the formative (cooling) components of suctional force have been totally disregarded. Therefore with the best will in the world, no flowing magnetism (levitism) can come into being, due to the almost complete lack of the most fundamental prerequisites for growth and increase. On the contrary, everything that now grows (solidifies) already contains the germ of decay, so that in every seed, whether or not it serves an increase in raw or subtle -energetic- matter or even in energy itself, the fiendish demon must rise again. [The Energy Evolution - Harnessing Free Energy from Nature, Magnetism is the Function of Levitism and Electricism is the Function of Gravitism]
Rudolf Steiner
"Cases are increasing in which children are born with a human form, but are not really human beings ... are not reincarnated, but are human forms filled with a sort of natural demon.
Imagine what people would say if they heard that we say there are people who are not human beings." [Rudolf Steiner, Faculty Meetings with Rudolf Steiner]
"Dr. Rudolf Steiner : Such cases are increasing in which children are born with a human form, but are not really human beings in relation to their highest I; instead, they are filled with beings that do not belong to the human class. Quite a number of people have been born since the nineties [1890s] without an I, that is, they are not reincarnated, but are human forms filled with a sort of natural demon. There are quite a large number of older people going around who are actually not human beings, but are only natural; they are human beings only in regard to their form. We cannot, however, create a school for demons.
A teacher: How is that possible?
Dr. Rudolf Steiner: Cosmic error is certainly not impossible. The relationships of individuals coming into earthly existence have long been determined. There are also generations in which individuals have no desire to come into earthly existence and be connected with physicality, or immediately leave at the very beginning. In such cases, other beings that are not quite suited step in. This is something that is now quite common, that human beings go around without an I; they are actually not human beings, but have only a human form. They are beings like nature spirits, which we do not recognize as such because they go around in a human form. They are also quite different from human beings in regard to everything spiritual.
The riddle of life is not so simple. When such a being dies, it returns to nature from which it came. The corpse decays, but there is no real dissolution of the etheric body, and the natural being returns to nature. It is also possible that something like an automaton could occur. The entire human organism exists, and it might be possible to automate the brain and develop a kind of pseudomorality.
I do not like to talk about such things since we have often been attacked even without them. Imagine what people would say if they heard that we say there are people who are not human beings. Nevertheless, these are facts. Our culture would not be in such a decline if people felt more strongly that a number of people are going around who, have become something that is not human, but instead are demons in human form.
Nevertheless, we do not want to shout that to the world. Our opposition is already large enough. Such things are really shocking to people." [Rudolf Steiner, Faculty Meetings with Rudolf Steiner : Volume 2, Fifty-Sixth Meeting (GA 300c)
