Important to his conception of evil is that it is twofold, represented by the names “Lucifer” and “Ahriman” (an old Persian name for Satan). Man finds himself in the field of tension between these two adversarial forces and must find the upright posture and forward moving impulse to walk on his own between them, so that they become his servants rather than he theirs. Steiner’s great wood sculpture, “The Representative of Humanity” pictures the central figure striding upright between them, not opposing but rather walking out of his own essential being. The “Lucifer” figure becomes, as it were, an instrument for his vision, but Lucifer himself, possessed by pride, casts himself down, breaking his wings before the power of the central figure. “Ahriman”, on the other hand, becomes chained to the earth, in a cave beneath his feet, and becomes, instead of a force that would drag him down, the firm ground on which the central figure walks.
