First of all you have my heartfelt thanks for creating this wiki. Really helped me to connect the dots and my life was aimless without understanding of Rudolf Steiner's works. I've been living a life of heavy Ahrimanic oppression with very little love nor friendship (mostly isolation). I'm tired everyday. I don't remember my past life but I have come to learn my nature. After much research into Steiner's works, I've come to the conclusion that I was much more possessed by Lucifer in the previous incarnation. So due to karmic effects the pendulum shifted all the way to the other side as Rudolf Steiner would put it.
However, this is exactly the kind of life that I see myself having planned for between death and rebirth. I've been forced to go through rites of passages and strengthen/purify the etheric body and astral body. Even if I'd slightly change something from my past, I might have never come this far nor discover Rudolf Steiner. Some of the karma exercises from Steiner are actually exercises that I'd been doing intuitively for years. This is one of the ways that I have zero trauma. Other things that I'd been doing intuitively are things like really consuming Art such as music, Steiner notes this has great effects on the etheric body.
I'm almost 30 and while I'm still young I'm actually more preparing for my next life rather than the rest of my current life. I've spent my life battling Ahriman and I've defeated him. What remains now is Lucifer. I'm not worried that much about Asuric influence. It's critical that I battle Lucifer in this life to prepare myself for the Oriphiel age. A life of isolation can lead to a life of fame and vice versa. I believe I should live this life with the understanding that I might be a leader of people in the next incarnation. We don't need to consider merely our own destinies especially when we possess over secret knowledge. These aren't delusions of grandeur or vanity, the next life will be completely different for each and everyone. It's very much in line with the following inspiring quote by Rudolf Steiner: "What strength, what energy and confidence in life would be gained by men if they knew that they can turn to account in a new life whatever forces are apparently lost to them!" (19120221-GA135).
From what I understand, especially for people familiar with Anthroposophy, for them the incarnation will come either during the Future Oriphiel Age or after it. There'll be only be a small group of people serving Oriphiel spread throughout the earth, prepared and experienced with spiritual warfare against the Ahrimanic, Luciferic and Asuric forces. We cannot imagine the degree of corruption humanity will have achieved by then especially sexual perversions.
Steiner notes we should "set to work now with the utmost seriousness". For me personally there's no doubt in my mind that I'll reincarnate during that age rather than cowardly skipping over it. From the very start of my spiritual journey I wanted to [help] save the world. There are so many people living today and in the past that I owe my spiritual development to. I now have this unique opportunity to play my part, to potentially make a big positive difference for humanity in the next incarnation.
I've known about Steiner a couple years now but his works didn't manage to penetrate my soul that deeply and there was a lot of key puzzle pieces that I overlooked. It's only recently within the past couple months that I managed to do a deep dive into his works and this wiki helped a great deal to achieve that.
I'm finally able to fully commit to celibacy and I'm ready to incrementally face Luciferic temptation. If it's true that I have a lot of potential for heroism in a next life then it would logically follow that the enemy will want to take me out. At the same time the good spiritual entities would then want me to succeed. It's a battle of chess. We're at war.
Rudolf Steiner teaches us that the more we develop our spirit/I-consciousness the more Lucifer and Ahriman will fight to possess us (see 1922-11-16-GA 218).
I've checked your website traffic, it looks like there's less than 5000 unique visitors per month to this site. On reddit the anthroposophy communities count a couple thousand members and Rudolf Steiner is barely talked about on reddit in general. It might not look like much but the internet is merely 30 years old and even just one individual can make massive impact in the course of evolution. Rudolf Steiner was the living proof of that.
My spiritual journey started 4th of July 2016. Christ has been with me since then and will continue to stay with me. The quote Rudolf Steiner, "To ensure that in future, when we have found our way to Christ, our karmic account will be balanced — inserted in the cosmic order — in such a way that the settlement of it will benefit as many people as possible — that will be the concern of Him who in our time is becoming Lord of Karma " - 19111202-GA130 and "‘Christ becomes for men the Lord of Karma.’ This means that in future the ordering of karmic transactions will come about through Christ" - 19111014-GA131
So from my understanding, Rudolf Steiner says here that whatever your karmic settlement may be, Christ will ensure it will benefit as many people as possible. One of the ways Christ will pull that off is by preparing souls in the incarnation[s] before. This gives me a lot of hope because it's in my control to see it through. Everyday, I'll have to make the conscious choice to continue walking the distance.
I want to end with an inspiring poem from J.R.R. Tolkien called the Riddle of Strider:
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king."
