Intuitive thinking as a spiritual path.

[Rosebluepaint]

Thats the modern title given to a book by the young Rudolf Steiner named by him for the English speaking audience - The Philosophy of Spiritual Activity.

What I want to hear is an enlightened take on the path pointed out in this book which indicates how to, instead of going to not-thinking, take thinking right round the curve until, well, one becomes enlightened.

What can Leo express that the book does not make explicit? What tips and pointers from the other side experience can one having to go this route glean?

 

Thank you in advance for the kind consideration.

Great question. Steiner, especially his early work deserve a mention here at Actualized. He is part of the individualist romantic tradition that lies at the base of much New Age thinking. The following sources build upon his "Philosophy of freedom" in different ways. Some of the sources have a spiritual bent without woo, and some use "woo" in a pragmatic rather than superstitious way. Some interesting links to start with:

Epistemic thought: learning to see without labels, immersing in nature - Goethe's way of science:

First steps to seeing - Emma Kidd

Taking appearance seriously - Henri Bortoft
 

Same tradition, now including warrior thinking and self-reliance:
Return of the warriors - Theun Mares

Your sacred self - Wayne Dyer

Fringe Knowledge - Montalk
