The Machine, the soul, and 2026

January 7, 2026 By Mark Zweifel

We are living in the time Rudolf Steiner foresaw—an era where the line between the human being and the machine is becoming increasingly blurred.

How do we maintain our spiritual integrity in the face of “mechanical occultism”? What is the true nature of electricity, light, and the “Ahrimanic double” that seeks to interpenetrate our lives?

These are not just philosophical questions; they are the defining challenges of our age.

The MysTech Winter 2026 Study Courses are starting now. These free study groups (you only need the guidebook) offer a rare space to explore these deep questions with a community of like-minded seekers.

Whether you are new to these concepts or deepening your study of the “Mysteries of Evil,” there is a group for you.
