The Inner Weaver, the Inner Musician, and the Cognitive Power of Love

Synopsis "The Inner Weaver, the Inner Musician, and the Cognitive Power of Love"
Immediately after the Christmas Conference, Rudolf Steiner set about to renew and deepen anthroposophy, which had been the ultimate goal of that Conference. Beginning already in January, he gave a series of nine lectures entitled Anthroposophy: an Introduction (GA 234). The lectures are out of print, and have been so for many years. This cycle is exceedingly important. In it, Steiner sets a new tone, in keeping with his desire to recast anthroposophy in a form that is it once more concrete and more esoteric. More concrete in that the abstract, bald, and schematic presentation of spiritual realities in his book Theosophy (which dates from 1903, and Steiner refers to specifically) gives way to phenomenological discussions of matters much closer to home, especially memories and dreams. More esoteric, in that Steiner greatly expands the screen, both spatially and temporally. There is one lecture however that stands out especially for its beauty and profundity: Lecture 5, given on February 2, 1924. It also can, I believe, stand on its own, as it offers in many ways a complete and organic picture.
Rudolf Steiner (Donji Kraljevec, Imperio austrohúngaro, hoy Croacia, 25 o 27 de febrero de 18611-Dornach, Suiza, 30 de marzo de 1925) fue un filósofo austriaco, erudito literario, educador, artista, autor teatral, pensador social y ocultista. Fue el fundador de la antroposofía, la educación Waldorf, la agricultura biodinámica, la medicina antroposófica5 y de la nueva forma artística de la euritmia.
Describió la antroposofía como sigue: La antroposofía es un sendero de conocimiento que quisiera conducir lo espiritual en el hombre a lo espiritual en el universo. Pueden ser antropósofos quienes sienten determinadas cuestiones sobre la esencia del hombre y del mundo como una necesidad tan vital como la que se siente cuando tenemos hambre y sed.
Steiner propuso una forma de individualismo ético, al que luego añadió un componente más explícitamente espiritual. Derivó su epistemología de la visión del mundo de Johann Wolfgang Goethe, según la cual el pensamiento es un órgano de percepción al igual que el ojo o el oído. Del mismo modo que el ojo percibe colores y el oído sonidos, así el pensamiento percibe ideas.
