Steps in Perception
Contemporary interest in the meditative schooling of mindfulness is
usually associated with Eastern traditions. Rudolf Steiner spoke of
the same phenomenon, although he used the terms 'attentiveness' and
'dedication' – or, combining these two, 'pure perception'. This way of
mindfulness and reverence is not in conflict with spiritual paths
founded on thinking or pure thought. However, as the texts in this
anthology indicate, methods based exclusively on thinking cannot be
successful if they are not supported by perception, feeling and will.
In counterbalance to today's increasing intellectualization, the
meditative exercises featured here connect with the perceptive
activity of the human being's sensory organs. They could also be
understood as exercises for developing empathy, helping to make our
relationship with the world around us more conscious and intense.
Rudolf Steiner's texts are sensitively edited and arranged by Andreas
Neider, whose introduction and notes add further clarity to the theme.
