Rudolf Steiner differentiated clearly between the spiritual concept
of Imagination and our everyday understanding of the word. As
living, pictorial thinking, Imagination is a primary aspect of the
contemporary path of inner schooling - the first of three levels of
initiate knowledge and cognition. Imagination leads us into a world
of flowing, living pictures: a realm of soul and spirit in which
everything is in continual movement. This anthology offers a survey
of the diverse aspects of Imagination and imaginative cognition. As
the thematically re-ordered texts reveal, Rudolf Steiner's
spiritual philosophy - anthroposophy - is itself often pictorial
and imaginative in nature. Many of its fundamental concepts, such
as the evolution of the world and the human being, were formulated
by Steiner in vivid, living pictures. However, whilst imaginative
perception leads us to the threshold of the spiritual world, we can
also fall prey there to illusions, visions and hallucinations. This
volume, expertly assembled by Edward de Boer, draws on the entirety
of Rudolf Steiner's collected works - from his earliest writings to
passages from his many lectures. It is conceived as a stimulus to
readers to practise, deepen and extend their own imaginative
consciousness. Steiner's commentary on `exemplary Imaginations', in
particular, encourages further study, contemplation and schooling
of our own pictorial thinking. Chapters include `Imagination as
Supersensible Cognition'; `The Rosicrucian Path of Schooling';
`Exercises to Develop Imagination'; `Understanding Imagination
Through Inspiration and Intuition'; `Illusions, Hallucinations and
Visions'; `Imaginative Perception as the Threshold to the Etheric
World'; `Goethe's Worldview' and `Exemplary Imaginations'
(including commentary on `The Fairy-tale of the Green Snake and the
Beautiful Lily', The Mystery Plays; The Great Initiates; the
`Apocalyptic Seals'; The Chymical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz
and the `Michael Imagination').
