Re: GA 13 - Rudolf Steiner's "Secret Science in Outline"
I like how you put it at the end, that we can 'stress test' our thinking elasticity using the supersensible, cosmological facts narrated in the book. It comes to mind that AI picturing can probably be used to this effect, to see how much it takes before one is shocked (but also stunned, or inspired...

Re: GA 13 - Rudolf Steiner's "Secret Science in Outline"
I thought I would open a thread to collect thoughts specifically arising from this book, that I plan to read along with the online reading group Urphänomen (since I can't attend their Tuesday meetings). Chapter I seems to have a continued introductory character. Now reading Chapter II - The nature ...

Re: Symphony
In connection with this discussion, I would like to add the following illustration. The first one we have seen before: https://i.ibb.co/G0DGvN6/image.png Now this: https://i.ibb.co/zrdyCps/image.png In our ordinary consciousness, we feel ourselves mostly in the head area. This is because the most re...

Re: Symphony
The fruit metaphor is good, it helps reconcile the paradox of concentration and relaxation. For now, I have to admit I am still trying to neutralize the tendency to remain in control. Probably the reason why not much happens for me is because I'm not yet able to release control, to really relax. A ...

Re: A question about language
I made no comment about not being judged. Francis would say true happiness would be having a peaceful heart no matter what is happening. OK, because you said "which feels (even momentarily) as a freedom from judging or being judged " , I wanted to clear that out. Please excuse me Cleric b...

Re: Symphony
Yes, this I am very aware of. It's been a few years since I realized the power of Thanking, and the sense of righteousness and alignment it provides. Previously, I was sometimes wondering why "life was being unfair", with me, at times, but especially with others. As you say, I used to thi...

Re: A question about language
Great question. Thanks Cleric. Imperfect as I am, I'm surely no authority but I'll give it a shot... The final step is forgiving one's own self and thereby transcending into a new way of being, which feels (even momentarily) as a freedom from judging or being judged. With this large stone removed f...

Re: Symphony
Another tremendously effective and very easy technique is simply Thanking. Anytime we awaken from the hamster wheel, we can simply Thank with every fiber of our being, for everything. The more grateful we are, the more we feel in the Flow. On the contrary, when we are ungrateful and grumbling, we un...

Re: Symphony
I see that one can't force a permanent state of exercise into everyday life, but I was referring to the naturally occurring (after spiritual development is pursued) loss of demarcation between perceptual and soul realms described by Ashvin: Our natural consciousness indeed changes in time. The simp...
