Are there similarities between the space opera TV franchies "Babylon 5" and Anthroposophy? Or is it all LOTR fan fiction?
No idea, but it struck me that the war between the Shadows and the Vorlons could be seen as a conflict between Ahrimanic and Luciferic spirits. The Luciferic forces, which everyone assumed represents the "good spiritual guys", turn out to be just as problematic for further human evolution as the more obviously evil Ahrimanic host. Perhaps Commander Sheridan could be seen as a very angry Christ-being, expelling the lot from our galaxy, rather than "balancing" them?
In one episode, we also get to see the last human, who looks a bit like a Vorlon, before he too leaves the galaxy for greener evolutionary pastures. Is this based on Steiner´s idea of a future "Vulcan" incarnation, during which humans become like gods and indeed reach higher and loftier elevations?
No idea, and it probably means nothing, but there you go!
