Re: GA 13 - Rudolf Steiner's "Secret Science in Outline"
... Thanks, I'm sure these characterizations help to make better sense of for example this: As regards its original essence, man's astral body has its origin in the higher world, in the spiritual world proper. Within that sphere it is a being of the same nature as other beings whose activity is exe...

Re: GA 13 - Rudolf Steiner's "Secret Science in Outline"
Ashvin, Here you seem to say that manifestation (not only mineral but all phenomena) equals being conscious, and we should understand physicality as that?? Are you saying that there is for example a true and a fake astral body, the true being the truly-true astral and the fake being the physical as...

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: 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: 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"
Hi Ashvin, Reading goes slowly - I've had less free time than usual this week, been reading small bits, often having the read them again the next day. Now in the middle of Chapter III, Sleep and Death. I feel I absolutely need this reading, and feel called to come back to it every time I can, but s...

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 ava...
