I am not saying, because it is not true - that our bodies and the physical material world are irrelevant to the workings of evil.
On the contrary; the material is always spiritual (but not vice-versa). However the workings of evil are primarily on the mind, not the body - because evil is primarily engaged in a spiritual war on God and creation.
It is one of the many deceptions of evil to induce people to take the common attitude of focusing on the physical and material aims and consequences of evil - rationalizing this by emphasizing that it is the most urgent thing that is needed to fix...
The excuse being that after people are "safe" from such-and-such a threat (war, mass immigration, economic destruction, poisoning of food and environment etc), then will be the proper time to transfer our attention and efforts towards the spirit.
Yet this is wrong and fatally mistaken. Not just because the time of safety will, in practice, never come - and we will instead struggle from one engineered existential material threat to the next, and the next...
But also because the material threats cannot, and will not, be dealt with until after the endemic spiritual disease of Western Civilization has been identified, acknowledged, and self-treated.
Spirit must come first, or else the desired material changes will not come at-all.
As many people have often noted; it is not usually (in principle) difficult to deal with the physical threats of evil - it is known how to do this; and the problem is that we do not actually do what would work.
However; how this situation arose and prevails (i.e the situation that we do not, in practice, solve soluble-problems) is regarded as a superficial and trivial matter (to be dealt with after the potentially-lethal problems have, somehow, been dealt-with) - when in reality it is the pointer towards the very essence of our civilizational malaise.
Consequently we see such insane absurdities as the vast, colossal, genuinely titanic levels of analysis, discussion, prediction, guidance... with respect to campaigning and voting in the US Presidential election, including among people who purport (and suppose themselves) to be first-and-foremost spiritually motivated!
Likewise, when it comes to commentary on the Establishment drive towards implementing AI (artificial Intelligence) in ever more domains of everyday life and socio-economic functioning; the focus is entirely on evaluating the validity of claims, and the material consequences in terms of unemployment and effective administration.
Yet, behind the Establishment puppets and dupes who do all this implementing, and who devise the oceanic AI-related propaganda in novels, movies, plays, computer games etc; are demonic spirits for whom this agenda is primarily spiritual - not physical, not material, not civilizational.
We need to focus on the strategy behind (or below) all the huge, persisting, multi-pronged tsunami of AI... The soft-sell of awareness-raising, arts and media depictions, the profit-luring, and the hard managerial compulsion - beneath this lies a whole underworld of demonic scheming that intends to corrupt human Minds - not just control or destroy human bodies.
Unless this evil purpose of mental shaping with respect to AI is acknowledged and identified - then human beings are just mind-putty for the agenda of evil.

because the material is always spiritual and not vice versa, i think there is a very clear intent of de-spiriting the material. destruction is not effective, which is why i do not believe we will experience the same kind of wars of the twentieth century. the purpose, i think, is to defile and corrupt and distort.
now the means are of course psychic - meaning, addressed to the mind, not the body. only the mind can direct the body into self dispiriting, into defilement and degeneration and all the rest.
thus the purpose of so called AI, in my opinion, is of course to influence minds, but with the purpose of defiling the human form, the very image of God, so that more and more people will choose to disfigure themselves in order to resemble the devil's machine dreams. in this, it's just another tool, more powerful probably, but there are plenty of others, our society offers and promotes disfigurement in multiple forms, and for different audiences, and we're all just supposed to be on board and think it normal, healthy and almost normative. and of course, on a larger scale, it promotes the same disfigurement in nations and on the earth.
this, i observe. how to explain it is a different matter, but it suggests to me that there is something very important about the physical, precisely because it is, well, exclusive. all material is spiritual and not vice versa, and so perhaps the devil wants a purely spiritual existence. this explains why it seems that the system has no problem at all with all forms of oneness spirituality, whereas whenever spirituality is normative about the body, it has a problem.
what it suggests to me, in short, is that some things here on earth are not repeatable. that something can be lost and never regained. and that we must take this life very seriously indeed if we have any hope of leveling up, instead of down, in the next.
Excellent comment Laeth!
thank you Bruce! i continued thinking about it and expanded it a little bit into this post in the meantime: https://treesandtriads.substack.com/p/dispiriting-and-defilement
The idea of creating a brain to computer interface is extremely evil. Nothing good can come if it. That is how the torrent of evil available on the internet would be piped into your brain 24/7. There would be no escaping it. At the very least you would be permanently distracted from spiritual issues and even rational contemplation. In due course, if this silicon portal into hell is perfected, the government (which is evil) will make it mandatory.
@DS - Brain to computer is not mind to computer.
But the spiritual point is that modern Western people will (in large numbers) volunteer and pay money to become the subjects of such a scheme, because it might be convenient, and "cool".
That's where the spiritual harm comes - in the aspiration. It is what people want themselves to be that is the spiritual danger. What it is impossible for technology to do, then becomes possible.
So-called AI is the best example I've seen yet of Steiner's concept of sub-nature.
