dear starwhite,
longtime cayce person myself but have come to accept limitations. you may want to see the "christ jesus" thread or search here under steiner and some prior posts will surface. i've shared links to more pro-biblical interpretive works. http://www.bibleandanthropsophy.com
yes, as billy wrote about luke and how cr identified how cayce, in an earlier life, had been luke's nephew and was responsible for writing luke. scholar there went on to include further info in his are column that he apparently used his uncle's journals. i share this because the way it first reads, it is somewhat confusing, and i wrote the author directly for clarification. apparently, steiner also informs us that the experiences were those of luke, the physician.
looked more in depth at steiner to see what was in harmony with ra.
he gave this from "the book of revelation and the work of the priest":

"wherever the influence of lucifer is not, and wherever the influence
of ahriman is not, that is where there exists what comes from the
progressive divine spirituality which is linked to the evolution of
humanity. if, in the realms into which the luciferic constantly streams
and into which the ahrimanic constantly streams, we look towards the
divine that holds the balance, we find there pure love as the
fundamental force of everything that streams continuously, forming the
human being outwardly and giving him soul and spirit inwardly. this
fundamental force is pure love...this love is something inward; souls
can experience it inwardly,it would never achieve an outward position
if it did not first build itself a body out of the etheric element of
light. when we observe the world in a genuinely occult manner we cannot
help but say to ourselves:the ground of the world is the being of
inward love appearing outwardly as light."
he continues:
"the universe,in so far as the human being is rooted in it, is the
being of inward love appearing outwardly through light. it is being
because it has to do with all the beings of the higher hierarchies who
are carried by this love and who inwardly experience this love which,
however, if we want to employ an abstract idea, appears as light. the
outer appearance of beings is love, and the outer appearance of love is
light."
trying to understand lucifer and ahriman, or devil and satan. steiner spoke about the dangers of trance material...christ is pivotal according to steiner.
all for now - nina
