There are several Stages within a research. You can get added to the old findings of a new knowledge. And thus one comes piecemeal and on. Just as Paul in his "High song of love," says our knowledge is at first only piecemeal. If you still work the piece, which adds up in a research itself can always be pulled together, then we always move a step. It is fascinating to learn how to extend the findings of a research and therefore more versatile and complete a research object can be illuminated. This fascination does any real research, no matter whether it is a spiritual or trade school of scientific research.
To my knowledge Steiner also practiced this method of investigation and was a master of it. He says, for example in relation to Goethe's fairy tale that he only gradually was able to penetrate into the mystery of the tale. Steiner was able to three years through Seventh expand his knowledge in relation to this work of Goethe. Not what was in the beginning there was wrong, but he built more and more further on the foregoing. I can very well understand, because I experience no different. I can never to a thrust win a clear or comprehensive knowledge can expand only gradually my knowledge and I need it always be a certain period of time.
I was reflected as a biographical event in my childhood. I do it in my 33rd Age, then I notice in the event a certain knowledge that a certain connection with the concrete situation of the 33rd Age shows. And then me the same biographical event occurs again in the 40th Age in mind and I see it again and win another finding, which is an extension of is that I have already won with 33, etc
I made me aware of a few years ago that the human ability to remember us cognitive ability is very interesting. example right now I'm experiencing something very specific. Let's say I experience that someone has insulted me. This happened on a certain day and at a certain place by a specific person. I perceive through my senses. And I go home and remember the evening of this event. In my mind the memories like a kind of sensual images. I can still see clear as the voice of the people who called me names, has sounded in the earthly sense actually, as the room looked really physically where I stood. So all sensual impressions and images are still clear in my mind. But that's not the case. The next day I notice a marked difference from the previous day. The next day, I realize that these sensory details that I noticed yesterday in the event with my physical senses and in the evening still so strongly felt in the foreground in my memory, are already significant decline. Instead, I notice that in these images, memories shows something else, I could not see yesterday. The is a perception / knowledge of the spiritual nature . I call that as a Steiner Durchsichtigmachung .
This process is identical to a Karma exercise, the three-day exercise, which Steiner gave a lecture Karma man. A transformation in the memory images takes place there. And this continues on the following days. I found out earlier that the memories can learn over time a kind of spirituality , but I could not do that long really aware of. When I made this three-day exercise as an exercise, I first found out there is a satisfactory result for a karma knowledge. I probably had too many head moderate ideas, which prevented an unbiased perception. It was also not far from me at that time formed the perceptual cognitive organ, which I described in the last article a bit. For this reason, I am not always in favor of an exercise as Steiner a fixed exercise to repeat again and pedantic . One can see the essence of what Steiner wants to bring in an exercise to express much freer on life itself. Sometimes you got of such a free way - with a little imagination - much more than in a rigid and external repetition of the exercises given by him once.
example, I have found in a free observation: I remember a childhood event in my 33rd Of age. Then stand the then Iride-sense Not as strong impressions in the foreground. And just because they have fallen under the influence of the temporal progression appeared, something quite different in the memories. And this is what appears instead of the strong ground-sensory impressions and details is something mind , what was hidden behind the veil of earthly, sensual and I could see why not then and see. And this kind of depth of knowledge is always further. I have seen time and again that I won at a later date, of a deeper knowledge. I experience so that I can look into it by the ever metamorphosierenden memories in an ever deeper area of the mind. But the findings, each won, are not unrelated, but they stand in a precise context.
This is a spiritual knowledge / research method I have found also in the specific examples Steiner. this you need a thought, to not to the sensual and Iris are perceptions and objects must be supported. pure thought, as Steiner says, a way of thinking in which one herausätherisiert the spiritual from the sensual and earthly memories.
