Reading medieval demonology is so fucking confusing because you'll have a reviled Great Duke of Hell and his whole thing is that he likes to help people fall in love and counsels their marriage, and then on the next page is an obscure demon they didn't consider exceptionally evil and his whole thing is that he eats babies and can make testicles explode

“To love naked appearances, without interpretation, so one truly loves the divine.”
~ Simone Weil
“Read need behind feeling, read order behind need, and read God behind order.”
~ Simone Weil
"Everything makes sense, because everything depends on everything else." One loves the sea and the mountains because in them the need is visible; it is our alphabet.”
~ Alain (teacher of Simone Weil at the École Normale Supérieure)
The phenomenon (or appearance) is literally light. The mind is, metaphorically, light. The mind creates meaning with light. Metaphors manifest themselves as events in the world.
"The eye would never have seen the sun if it had not become like the sun," Plotino. "If the eye were not the sun, it could never behold the sun; if the strength of God were not within us, how could the divine delight us?"
~ Goethe
Learning to read the universe, with the instrument of attention, until phenomena become signs, revelations, epiphanies of a single divine language... Until you get to a non-read. Empty, mind is light before concept. The space of union where the fullness of meaning arises; the sky with its star writing.
"In the same way one has to learn to read, or to master a trade, one has to learn in all things, first and almost exclusively, the obedience of the universe to God." Well it's a real learning experience and it takes time and effort. For the man who has finished this learning, the differences between things or between events are no more important than those perceived by someone who knows how to read when he has in front the same statement repeated several times, in red or blue ink, and printed on one or the other typography. The man who can't read sees only the differences. [... Whoever has finished his learning recognizes things and events, anywhere and at any time, as vibrations of the same infinitely sweet word. Which doesn't mean he won't suffer. Pain is the color of certain events. When a man who can read and one who can't see a sentence written in red ink, they both see something red; but the color red is not so important to the one who can read."
~ Simone Weil
“For an experienced captain, whose ship has become a sort of extension of his body, the ship is an instrument to read the storm and reads it very differently than a passenger does.” “Where the passenger reads chaos, fear and limitless danger, the captain reads needs, limited danger, resources to avoid, courage, honor and obligation.”
~ Simone Weil
"""The forces of nature are infinitely overwhelming us"... Well? And yet the sailor on his ship is equally balanced against the infinite forces of the ocean. (Remember a ship is a lever). At every moment, the helm — through the weak, but directed, force of its muscles over the rod and oar — maintains balance with that enormous mass of air and water. There is nothing more beautiful than a boat."
~ Simone Weil
“Let the whole universe be for me, in relation to my body, as a blind man’s staff is in his hand. Her sensitivity no longer resides in her hand, but in the end of her cane."
~ Simone Weil
Weil distinguishes between tools born out of real needs and serve to bring balance with the universe and other tools that, pursuing economic ambitions, force us to adapt the human mind and body to the tool itself. The first are reading tools—a blind man’s cane, a ship, an astrolaby—. In the end, the real “tool” we must work to read the world and see the divinity in all things is attention. Pure and empty attention becomes prayer: lectio becomes oratio, a non-reading.
“The obedience of things in relation to God is what the transparency of a window is in relation to light.. God is the source of light; that is, all forms of care are degraded forms of religious care.. The soul that receives a vision of light must give its vision to God and direct it to the world..
“When the self disappears, it becomes an opening through which creation and God contemplate each other.”
~ Simone Weil

The seven post‑Atlantean cultural epochs
Within the Earth stage, Steiner distinguishes seven cultural epochs in the current post‑Atlantean age (from about 7227 BC to 7893 AD), each shaping how the human “I” relates to spirit and matter. These epochs are:
1st – Ancient Indian: very early post‑flood humanity, still strongly clairvoyant and inwardly turned toward a spiritual world, experiencing Earth as Maya (illusion).
2nd – Ancient Persian: awakening to working into the physical world; the struggle between light and darkness, cultivation and wilderness, becomes a core inner motif.
3rd – Egypto‑Chaldean: growing interest in earthly order, measure, and cosmic law; geometry, star‑wisdom and post‑death concerns (pyramids, mummification) dominate culture.
4th – Greco‑Roman: balance between spirit and sense‑world; classical beauty and Roman legal consciousness prepare the ground for the unique central event of Earth evolution, the Mystery of Golgotha.
5th – Present Anglo‑Germanic: our current epoch, characterized by intense intellectuality, experimental science, nationalism and global capitalism; enormous freedom possibilities, but also maximum danger of falling into cold, Ahrimanic materialism and the “eighth sphere.”
6th – Future Slavic/Russian: beginning after our epoch, where a more heart‑centered, communal, brotherhood‑oriented culture will gradually arise, transforming intellect into warm, imaginal wisdom in everyday life.
7th – Future American: final post‑Atlantean epoch, in which human freedom and evil both reach extreme intensity, culminating in the “war of all against all” and preparing the transition toward Future Jupiter.
In this long arc, the Christ Impulse works from the center of the fourth epoch onward as an ever‑present power of resurrection, gradually spiritualizing thinking, feeling and willing so that humanity can enter the sixth and seventh epochs as free co‑creators rather than as mechanized, eighth‑sphere‑bound beings.
