"Holding the Balance" - Episode 5 in the series, “The Many Crowns of the Royal Self"

In this episode, we return to contemplating the activities of self that are needed in stemming the constant tendency towards division, as recommended by Rudolf Steiner in Chapter 5 of his book, ”How to Know Higher Worlds.” Previously, we spoke about breaking through to the truth that the inner world of our thoughts and feelings is just as real and significant as our deeds. The fourth activity describes the creative tension and discernment process we are tasked with as we learn to traverse these two worlds - inner and outer. Here, we take a step further into the realm of our true being and learn to practice a kind of spiritual balance, led by a heart that is open, interested and knowledgeable of the world around us.In this episode, we return to contemplating the activities of self that are needed in stemming the constant tendency towards division, as recommended by Rudolf Steiner in Chapter 5 of his book, ”How to Know Higher Worlds.” Previously, we spoke about breaking through to the truth that the inner world of our thoughts and feelings is just as real and significant as our deeds.
