"Experiment!" [Anthroposophy]

I did a bio-layman experiment. Hah. I put out eggs on a plate in my backyard to see if a snake would take the bait. What I learned might not surprise you, but since I'm new to life I learned that patience is a virtue of the animal kingdom. Hah. Not one animal touched it up until day 2 1/2 and it was only two or three ants. 

By day three they started eating soft, nasty, jelly like eggs. I hate being gross but I bring that part up because a virtue is a curse if it's done to excess. This brings me to Steiner. 

In his lectures he references a French writer (De Musset) and Boehme as night and day. One is electrified by a slow, drudging world. The other is comforted by it and calls it patient. 

Now I'm not sure what my point is here. I just want to say do your experiments. Find out what life is about. 

My lens is astrological. If I see De Musset I see a racehorse. If I see Boehme I see me, because I am also a Taurus like he was. And to me in light of this, Ahriman, Lucifer, the two forces of positive evil become more clear to me. 

In de Musset I see someone who is bright-eyed. Staggered by stagnancy. Everywhere he goes he sees an opportunity that other people miss, he's called to draw upon, even against his will. 

In Boehme I see just me, plain, calm, happy, content with little but owning much. Obedience to the laws of nature means working within her without interrupting her. Where De Musset lacked ability, Boehme lacked ego. 

In the animal kingdom I see patience. And in patience I see Luna, "the moon," i.e. the weaver-goddess who is ever-patient, ever-focused, and ever-invested in flow-states; going on uninterrupted, but also sometimes missing the opportunities of which the enlightening planets provide us. (In this duality lies Ahrimanic and Luciferic forces, I believe).

Inductively, I'd have to say that Luna is an ego dissolving planet in a way not like what you would think by erasing impulse. 

Is this erasure Luciferic? Perhaps partly in that it wants to streamline evolution at the expense of creativity, and in this way drawing us up into the astral.
