Re: GA 13 - Rudolf Steiner's "Secret Science in Outline"
re: physical-etheric bodies without the Fall - this post by Cleric was very illuminating for me. I am struggling with that post: Actually the physical body is not the source of evil but it has become what it is (and the whole environment) in the process of the Fall. In spiritual sense, the physical...

Re: GA 13 - Rudolf Steiner's "Secret Science in Outline"
Ok, I understand in broad outlines. From your initial post I had received the impression that this work was achievable here and now (the Kingdom is at hand). But In the context of the whole solar evolution, it's less difficult to picture this progressive work. I am still not clear what the physical...

Re: GA 13 - Rudolf Steiner's "Secret Science in Outline"
Federica, So this is another situation where he is describing the average condition of humanity today, the pre-initiatory condition as it were. In general, the whole aim of modern initiation is to experience and accomplish what normally unfolds after death, while still alive. That is, to spiral inc...

Re: Serious Question Related to the Unconscious
Thank you for your kind response Federica. I understand what you are saying in fact I just watched his analytic idealism course regarding the unconscious. What I am wondering is this: What is aware of my unconscious mental states when I am not meta-conscious of them. Do my unconscious mental states...

Re: Serious Question Related to the Unconscious
I am very familiar with Bernardo's work but something has been boggling my mind for quite some time. I do not know if Bernardo sees these questions but I hope somebody can answer it. Here it is: When Bernardo refers to consiousness I know that he refers to phenomenological consciousness, which mean...

Re: GA 13 - Rudolf Steiner's "Secret Science in Outline"
I would phrase it differently and say the Lucifer temptation was fundamentally a burning desire (in the soul body) to live separated from Cosmic spirituality, to cultivate an inner life that feels to be a reality-in-itself (inner life including sensations). In other words, the core spirit no longer...

Re: GA 13 - Rudolf Steiner's "Secret Science in Outline"
It can get confusing because it is often spoken how we need to liberate thinking from the body for higher cognitive development. That is absolutely true. But the main purpose of that liberation is to draw on moral intuitions that can provide holistic insight and purify the soul body . If the latter...

Re: GA 13 - Rudolf Steiner's "Secret Science in Outline"
Thanks, Ashvin, this clarifies the thing. With what you have added, it seems to me he means that memories are not stored and picked up again at will, like books from a library shelf (by pure introspection). Rather, what is stored is an etheric-bodily mirror-image of any percept that remains availab...
