Anthroposophical Leading Thoughts 7 The Collected Works of Rudolf Steiner

In this seventh and final installment of the Anthroposophical Leading Thoughts, Rudolf Steiner begins by asserting that our sensations are actually part of the world, and that with our thinking, we can grow into the world of the stars. Moreover, we are actually organized by our previous incarnations, and intimations of this arise in the soul as the voice of conscience. The scientific worldview of the present is a continuation of medieval Nominalism; it denies real experience of the spirit in ideas. Finally, technology threatens to drag us down into sub-nature. We must develop supra-natural intuitions that raise us as far above nature as technology threatens to drag us beneath it.
