The concepts of 'thinking with the heart' or 'emotional
intelligence' are often used today, usually in contrast to
intellectual thought. When Rudolf Steiner used the phrase 'heart
thinking', however, he meant it in a very specific sense. Drawn
primarily from his lectures, the compiled texts in this anthology
illuminate his perspective - that heart thinking is intimately
related to the spiritual faculty of Inspiration. The heart, he
says, can become a new organ of thinking through the practice of
exercises that work towards the transformation of feeling, shedding
its personal and subjective character.The exercise sequences
presented here call for two fundamental gestures. Firstly,
renunciation, which extends from an extinguishing of images
engendered in meditation, through inner silence, to a conscious
suppression of sense perception. The second gesture involves the
development of new feelings towards natural phenomena as well as to
the reports of spiritual-scientific research. By practising these
methods, we can attain a kind of thinking that is in harmony with
the true nature and reality of what we seek to know.Rudolf
Steiner's texts are collected together by Martina Maria Sam, who
contributes a lucid introduction and notes.
