Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean to be human? Human development unfolds in a twofold way. On the one hand, there is an ever-more profound incarnation, or "inhabitation," of the physical body. On the other hand, there is the increasing discrimination of the individual objects of the world. Difficulties and obstacles along this path can lead to so-called disabilities. König's approach to curative education allows us to see these disabilities as meaningful ways of coping with or resolving the various problems that arise in living in a physical body. From this point of view, "disabilities" are exaggerated forms of ways we all use to cope with life. "The point is not only to see the deviations, but to see them against the mighty backdrop of a comprehensive child anthropology." Being Human presents the outline of just such a comprehensive anthropology. Being Human is of value not only to those working in special education, but to anyone interested in the dynamics of incarnation and "normal" development.

Download or read book How to Know Higher Worlds written by Rudolf Steiner and published by SteinerBooks. This book was released on 1994 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the classic account of the modern Western esoteric path of initiation made public by Steiner in 1904. He begins with the premise that "the capacities by which we can gain insights into the higher worlds lie dormant within each one of us." Steiner carefully and precisely leads the reader from the cultivation of the fundamental soul attitudes of reverence and inner tranquility to the development of inner life through the stages of preparation, illumination, and initiation. Steiner provides practical exercises of inner and outer observation and moral development. By patiently and persistently following his guidelines, new "organs" of soul and spirit begin to form, which reveal the contours of the higher worlds thus far concealed from us. Steiner in this important work becomes a teacher, a counselor, and a friend whose advice is practical, clear, and effective. The challenges we face in life require increasingly deeper levels of understanding, and Steiner's text helps readers to cultivate the capacities for such insights and places them at the service of humanity. This is Steiner's most essential guide to the modern path of initiation he advocated throughout his life. It has been translated into many languages and has inspired hundreds of thousands of readers around the world. How to Know Higher Worlds has been admired by some of the most brilliant minds of our time.

Book excerpt: "The Way of Initiation" is a book written by Rudolf Steiner, an Austrian philosopher, esotericist, and founder of anthroposophy. The book was first published in German in 1904 under the title "Wie erlangt man Erkenntnisse der höheren Welten?" ("How to Attain Knowledge of the Higher Worlds"). In "The Way of Initiation," Steiner explores spiritual development and the path to higher knowledge. He provides guidance and insights for individuals seeking a deeper understanding of the spiritual dimensions of existence. The book is a foundational text within the broader anthroposophical movement, which emphasizes the development of the human spirit and the connection between the spiritual and material worlds. Key themes in the book include: Self-Development: Steiner discusses the importance of inner development and self-transformation as a means to attain higher knowledge. This involves cultivating one's spiritual faculties and overcoming personal limitations. Esoteric Practices: The book outlines various esoteric practices and exercises intended to awaken higher spiritual faculties. These practices may include meditation, concentration, and the development of inner perception. Understanding the Spiritual World: Steiner provides insights into the nature of the spiritual world, including the existence of higher spiritual beings and the interconnectedness of all existence. Moral and Ethical Development: The path to spiritual initiation, according to Steiner, is closely tied to moral and ethical development. He emphasizes the importance of cultivating virtues and a sense of responsibility. Initiation: Steiner describes the stages of initiation and the transformative experiences that individuals may undergo on the path to higher knowledge. "The Way of Initiation" is written in a style that combines philosophy, mysticism, and practical guidance. It serves as a guide for individuals interested in exploring the deeper dimensions of human consciousness and spirituality. Keep in mind that Steiner's teachings are associated with anthroposophy, a spiritual philosophy that has its own set of principles and practices.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rudolf Steiner's fundamental handbook for spiritual and personal development has grown more modern as time has passed, although his methods remain clearly distinguishable from the many others now in circulation. For one thing, Steiner's path of spiritual growth is based on the clarity of thought normally associated with scientific research. Rather than denying clear thinking, his aim is to extend it beyond its present limitations. Secondly, Steiner recognizes - as all genuine disciplines always have - that the path to spiritual experience is an arduous and dangerous one, calling for self-control in thought, word and deed. Human beings comprise a unity, and we cannot develop knowledge without a corresponding development in feeling and will. Rudolf Steiner foretold that humanity would begin to experience a longing for forms of experience that transcended intellectual, materialistic thinking. More than one hundred years after the first publication of this book in 1904, there are countless means to achieve such experience, such as eastern meditation, channelling, remote viewing and astral projection. In addition, there has been a huge growth in people reporting extrasensory perceptions of various kinds, such as near-death experiences and meetings with angels. In this context, Steiner's key spiritual workbook - reproduced here in the classic Osmond/Davy translation - is needed more than ever, given its unique, precise instructions for inner training, its protective exercises, and its indications for grounding and centring. Knowledge of the Higher Worlds begins with the conditions required for personal development, and guides us through the stages of initiation, its practical aspects and its effects.
Download or read book Enlivening the Chakra of the Heart written by Florin Lowndes and published by Rudolf Steiner Press. This book was released on 2013-04-16 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The seer and teacher Rudolf Steiner advised that specific 'accompanying' or 'fundamental' spiritual exercises should always be carried out in conjunction with meditation. While meditation is the foundation of any spiritual path of development, it can pose dangers to normal consciousness. These exercises offer a protection, by helping to develop inner certainty and strength. This is achieved, for example, through the first exercise by concentrating and intensifying the powers of thinking, through the second by developing the control of the will, through the third by mastering the outer expressions of the life of feeling, and so on. Florin Lowndes describes the fundamental exercises in thorough detail, giving suggestions as to how they may be carried out. He also relates an important and hidden aspect - that the exercises embody the means for developing and strengthening organic and 'living' thinking, which is intimately related to the enlivening of a new organ of perception: the heart chakra or lotus. Lowndes casts new light on many aspects of this question, and offers encouragement and stimulus to those seeking a modern path of spiritual development. FLORIN LOWNDES was born in Romania in 1938 and had an international career in architectural art and design. In 1970 he emigrated to the United States, where he taught at college level and in Steiner Waldorf schools. Since 1971 he has been engaged in the study of anthroposophy, and has written many articles for journals on related questions. He co-authored The Human Life, and founded the Center of Heart-Thinking in Boston. At present he leads training seminars in the United States and throughout Europe.

Book excerpt: Published in 1904 (CW 10) "While we cannot all instantly become 'seers,' the cognitive insights of a person who has such vision can nevertheless provide healthy food for all.
