(4) Christology - Scientific Method as means of investigating the mystery of Christ - Rudolf Steiner

For Steiner, thinking has a purifying force that leads us out of the darkness of the ordinary sense world to the spiritual light. He says: “I myself have engendered the thought and am present in it, and so I know what is in it… thought is most completely our possession. If we can find the relation of thought to the cosmos, to the universe, we shall find the relation to the cosmos of what is most completely ours”. The fuller balance between the influences of thought, emotion and volition on each other is of particular interest in developing thinking. He suggests as a primary practice that a person on this path needs to continually gain agency over the three in unison with each other.

Great discussion. Sets the stage for infilling so many details on the work needed with the senses....
Jude's discussion of sensing the soul aspects of the symbol, dropping the image, intensifying the feeling aspect only and letting it go into empty, non thinking, devotional awareness are precisely the steps leading to the moment before living thinking.... when the entity or part of reality speaks back as image, meaning or meeting being.
Demystifying the steps and efforts needed and discussing openly in an organized way so that people can put into practice in everyday life is a great use of this channel.
