Subject: Michaelic Resources for Subduing and Redeeming Our Dragon Nature

How to live in love, truth, alignment, and perception . . .

Wise Cosmos

The Ahrimanic Dragon is now entrenched in human nature, hindering our spiritual development. The Michaelmas season is an ideal opportunity to assess our relationship with both the Dragon and Christ. Between Michaelmas and Christmas, special Michaelic resources are available for subduing and redeeming our Dragon nature and the ahrimanic beings within us.

Has Vidar taken over Michael’s

archangelic responsibilities?


Michael has ‘graduated’ from the rank of Archangels to the hierarchy of beings known as Archai. Nevertheless, Michael will continue fulfilling most of his Archangel responsibilities while simultaneously taking on additional Archai responsibilities.


Although Archangel Vidar has stepped into Michael’s former role as a Ruling Spirit of the Age, Michael still has many other archangelic roles and responsibilities that Vidar is not taking over.


For example, Archangel Michael was “the face/countenance of Christ”. Archai Michael will continue to fulfill this archangelic role for as long as individual humans remain unable to perceive Christ directly. Meanwhile, for those human beings who develop perception of Christ, Archangel Vidar will be their guide to becoming “Christ bearers”, of whom Jesus of Nazareth was the first.


Therefore, continue thinking and saying “Archangel Michael” wherever you find it written in books, verses, songs, etc. Michael will always respond, guide, lead, and protect you through his ongoing Archangel aspect and role. When Archangel Michael is who we need, he will always respond to us in that role and capacity.

Living in Love in the Service of Archangel/Archai Michael: Inspiring Humanity's Path Forward Into Freedom


A video presentation by Brian Gray

Rudolf Steiner describes Earth evolution as consisting of two phases – Mars and Mercury. In this inspiring presentation, Brian Gray describes humanity’s path forward. Within the Mars phase of Earth evolution, forces of aggression and self-interest dominate our consciousness, affecting how we interact with one another and the world. The Mars phase is crucial for individual development – we need to develop a strong sense of self on our path toward becoming free and loving individuals. Buddha gave the Eightfold Path – a series of soul exercises to help us tame our inner dragon, our aggressive Mars natures. Christ then kindled

the seed of Mercury forces by lovingly uniting with humanity – bestowing on each of us our true higher 'I' to transform self-interest into freedom and love for others and for the world. We may now cultivate the curative forces of Mercury to heal the wounds inflicted by our self-interest and aggression, transforming them into devotion and loving interest for the world and others. The Archangel Michael served as "the countenance of Christ", illuminating our path to becoming Spirits of Freedom and Love. Rudolf Steiner gives profound descriptions of the true nature of love in many sources mentioned in this presentation. To this is added the verse, Victorious Spirit!, which holds the key to progress on our path of development, how we can live in love in the service of Michael and the Christ.

Becoming the Countenance of Michael:

From Allegiance to Alignment to

Relationship to Partnership


A video presentation by Lelan Harris

This Michaelmas presentation begins with imaginations of Christ as the image of the invisible God and Archangel Michael as the countenance of the invisible Christ. [Even as an Archai, Michael will continue to fulfill this role as long as individual humans remain unable to perceive Christ directly.] To this is added observations about what it means in our time to be identified as a "Michaelic" human being – that is, people whose visage, quality of presence, and actions manifest the presence and activity of Michael. This leads to considerations about steps and stages along the path to each of us becoming the countenance of Michael.

The School of Michael:

Soul Health in an Age of Falsehood


A video presentation by Dennis Klocek

Dennis Klocek introduces us to the development of morphological consciousness as a remedy for the astral storms of doubt and anxiety that are created when we are surrounded by lies. Illness has its entry through uncertainty of the soul. Learning how to gain what Rudolf Steiner articulated as the twelve points of view stretches our mind and soul in order to encompass each perspective. When we do, we become a true human, an 'I' capable of relating to the way things are structured in the divine world. This is what the Archangel Michael was  and as Archai Michael is  trying to teach us.

How Ahriman Thwarts Perception of Christ

A video presentation by Lelan Harris

Intellectual activity is spiritual activity, but the intellect cannot directly absorb that which is spiritual. This exposes our intellect to the great danger of falling prey to Ahrimanic powers through the most innocuous and truly unexpected of sources.


Lack of awareness of just exactly how those adversarial powers hold our intellects in their grip explains why people struggle to perceive Christ. Once understood, freedom and access to Christ becomes straightforward.

Seeing God’s Face,

Hearing God’s Voice,

Experiencing God’s Strength


A written reflection by Lelan Harris

"I have revealed Myself to you not only during the days in which the Gospels were written [says Jesus].  I will speak to you always through My day spirit, Michael, if you seek the way to Me.  Through the continuous Christ revelation you may add to the Gospels that which was not known in the Gospel of the first millennium but which can be known in the Gospel of the second; and new things may be added during the millennia to come."
~ Rudolf Steiner

Rudolf Steiner’s teaching continually mirrors what is in the Bible, and in the reflection are seen details we otherwise may miss.  Both the Old and New Testaments entreat us to 'seek the face' of God, to 'hear' God, and to 'know' God.  What does that mean?  How do we achieve it?  Steiner explains that Michael is one of the primary spirit beings who helps us become capable of seeing (imaginations), hearing (inspirations), and knowing (intuitions) Christ every moment of every day.  This powerful 12-page Michaelmas reflection focuses on Steiner's insights into how the Archangel (now Archai) Michael is revealed in dozens of scripture passages throughout the Bible.  It is beautifully prepared with extended quotes from Steiner's lectures and inspiring images.
