Inner Reading and Inner Hearing de Rudolf Steiner

Inner Reading and Inner Hearing

Autor Rudolf Steiner Traducere de Michael Miller
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 noi 2008

Considerăm că Inner Reading and Inner Hearing reprezintă un document esențial pentru înțelegerea metodologiei antroposofice, fiind oferit cititorului ca un „cadou neașteptat” din perioada imediat următoare izbucnirii Primului Război Mondial. Această ediție reunește două serii de prelegeri care surprind un moment de tranziție: intervalul scurt în care cercetarea spirituală era încă posibilă înainte ca realitatea crudă a frontului să schimbe prioritățile Europei. Spre deosebire de lucrările anterioare, aici Rudolf Steiner expune cu o claritate remarcabilă pașii meditației antroposofice, oferind nu doar teorie, ci și instrumentele lingvistice necesare pentru navigația interioară.

Comparabil cu A Way of Self-Knowledge în rigurozitate, acest volum este actualizat pentru contextul unei lumi aflate în pragul dezastrului, punând un accent mai mare pe „auzirea” și „citirea” activă a lumilor spirituale ca forme de reziliență psihică. Structura textului reflectă efortul constant al lui Steiner de a aplica rigoarea gândirii vestice asupra întrebărilor oculte, o temă recurentă și în A Psychology of Body, Soul & Spirit. Totuși, Inner Reading and Inner Hearing se distinge printr-o notă de urgență editorială; este o încercare de a fixa tehnici de dezvoltare a voinței înainte ca întunericul războiului să se lase peste continent. Analizând opera sa în ansamblu, observăm că dacă în Strengthening the Will autorul se concentra pe exerciții de revizuire a vieții cotidiene, în volumul de față el extinde această disciplină către percepția extrasenzorială structurată. Reținem, așadar, o lucrare metodologică ce transformă introspecția dintr-o stare pasivă într-o formă de cunoaștere activă, susținută de ilustrații menite să clarifice conceptele geometrice și spirituale complexe prezentate.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm această carte celor interesați de istoria ezoterismului occidental și practicanților de meditație care caută o bază teoretică solidă. Cititorul câștigă acces la o metodă structurată de dezvoltare spirituală concepută de Rudolf Steiner într-un moment istoric critic. Este o lectură fundamentală pentru a înțelege cum disciplina gândirii poate fi aplicată în explorarea planurilor subiective, oferind claritate acolo unde misticismul tradițional rămâne adesea ambiguu.

Despre autor

Rudolf Steiner (1861–1925) a fost un filozof, reformator social și ezoterist austriac, fondator al antroposofiei. Școlit în spiritul idealismului german și influențat de lucrările lui Goethe, Steiner a încercat să creeze o „știință spirituală” care să pună punți între observația empirică și experiența metafizică. Activitatea sa a fost vastă, punând bazele pedagogiei Waldorf, agriculturii biodinamice și medicinei antroposofice. Inner Reading and Inner Hearing aparține perioadei sale de maturitate, în care Steiner s-a concentrat pe oferirea unor instrumente practice pentru auto-educarea sufletului în contextul marilor transformări sociale de la începutul secolului XX.

Descriere scurtă

Two Lectures Cycles, Followed by Two Christmas Lectures Dornach, October 3 7 and December 12 20, 1914; Dornach, December 26 and Basel, December 27, 1914 (CW 156)These two lecture courses, given just after the beginning of World War I, stand as a kind of unexpected gift. A few months later, once the war became a reality, the possibilities for esoteric work would change and it would become more difficult to do spiritual research. But in the short interval before the true horror of the conflict unfolded, Rudolf Steiner almost by the way was able to give these lectures, which lay out in the clearest fashion the path of anthroposophic meditation, and its assumptions, language, and consequences.The first lectures expand on the idea of inner reading and hearing as the path to spiritual knowing. The spiritual world gives something and we, as spiritual researchers, receive and then read or interpret it. Spiritual knowledge is not a matter of will, desire, or intention on our part, but a gift from the spiritual world for which we must prepare ourselves by silencing our desires, emptying ourselves, and presenting ourselves in humility and devotion to the spiritual world. Then we become aware of the reality that the spiritual world is nowhere else but here, all around us; and if we dissolve the sense of being skin-bound, we can become open to it, reflect its images in our astral bodies, and then learn to read them by identification. Steiner describes this complex, subtle, existential and living process, in which ultimately we can become one with the universe, in a masterful way from which anyone who meditates, or wishes to begin to meditate, will gain a great deal. The second lecture cycle, How to Achieve Existence in the World of Ideas, deepens the themes developed in the first cycle, so that the two together provide a useful guide to the processes underlying meditation or learning to know the spiritual world. At the same time, because work was just beginning on the building that would become the Goetheanum, Steiner connects the esoteric principles of its design with the overall theme of the suprasensory human being in relation to meditation and spiritual knowing. The volume closes with two wonderful lectures in celebration of Christmas. Here Steiner has a threefold emphasis: Christ, supraearthly, glorious, and divine, fully united with humanity and the Earth and born in each human heart. To celebrate Christmas truly means that we recognize all three of these as one in the spiritual world, in the earthly world, and in ourselves. CONTENTS:

Notă biografică

Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) was born in the small village of Kraljevec, Austro-Hungarian Empire (now in Croatia), where he grew up. As a young man, he lived in Weimar and Berlin, where he became a well-published scientific, literary, and philosophical scholar, known especially for his work with Goethe's scientific writings. At the beginning of the twentieth century, he began to develop his early philosophical principles into an approach to systematic research into psychological and spiritual phenomena. Formally beginning his spiritual teaching career under the auspices of the Theosophical Society, Steiner came to use the term Anthroposophy (and spiritual science) for his philosophy, spiritual research, and findings. The influence of Steiner's multifaceted genius has led to innovative and holistic approaches in medicine, various therapies, philosophy, religious renewal, Waldorf education, education for special needs, threefold economics, biodynamic agriculture, Goethean science, architecture, and the arts of drama, speech, and eurythmy. In 1924, Rudolf Steiner founded the General Anthroposophical Society, which today has branches throughout the world. He died in Dornach, Switzerland.
