 Stages
of Consciousness
Meditations on the Boundaries of the Soul
by Georg Kuhlewind
In Stages of
Consciousness, Georg Kuhlewind shows
how all that we call thinking is the habitual association of
finished, dead thoughts. He describes how these thoughts were once
alive and how every new moment of understanding is a breath from
the realm of the living present.
He goes on to propose that we school ourselves
in that stage of consciousness we occasionally glimpse as intuition
and gives concrete exercises for achieving this.
Beginning with the intuition of the true self in the living act of
thinking - "the fundamental experience of the spirit" - he
elaborates a series of practical exercises in concentration and contemplation.
Contents:
1. The Two Stages of Consciousness
2. The Fundamental Experience of the Spirit
3. Concentration and Contemplation
4. The Boundaries of the Soul
5. The Secret of Perceiving
6. The Spiritual Communion of Modern Humanity
7. The Sense of Being
8. The Light of the Earth
To overcome the world means to behold the world as it was before it
became dead in us; to behold it in its aliveness, as heaven. To
overcome the world means to behold the earth in the heavens and to
bring the heavens to earth . . . .
The
author is well known in Europe as a leading exponent of Rudolf
Steiner's Spiritual Science or Anthroposophy.
