Steiner, Rudolf ; Collis, Johanna ; Haid, Christiane
Synopsis "The Rose Cross Meditation: An Archetype of Human Development (in English)"
The Rose Cross meditation is central to theWestern, Rosicrucian path of personal development as presented by RudolfSteiner. He repeatedly referred to the meditation as a "symbol of humandevelopment" that illustrates the transformation of human instincts and desires, which work unconsciously in the soul, and in thought, feeling, and the will.Through personal development, the "I," or essential self, cangain mastery over these unconscious forces of the soul.The Rose Cross meditation features the redrose as the image to which a student, via specific means, aspires. Added to theplant is the black cross, which points to the mystery of death and resurrectionand provides a symbol of the higher development of the human "I." Themetamorphosis of the roses and the cross into the symbol of the Rose Cross isbrought about by the one's inner efforts, creating an entirely new image. Thisbecomes the starting point for further steps along the meditative path.The Rose Cross meditation is the only pictorialmeditation whose content and structure Steiner described in such detail. Inthis invaluable book, the editor has gathered virtually all Steiner'sstatements on this subject, arranging them chronologically. Commentary andnotes support his words.
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.
