Meditation
“An exercise in which the attention is dedicated for a specific time to a concrete matter, object or idea is a soul-exercise or consciousness-exercise. Through the dedication calmness and inwardness occurs. The thinking becomes separate from the desire-life and the will-life. This subtle separation leads to new insights and impressions. The soul reveals itself as being of light.”
From "Harmony in Breathing" by Heinz Grill
“Just as in the body, eye and ear develop as organs of perception, as senses for bodily processes, so does a man develop in himself soul and spiritual organs of perception through which the soul and spiritual worlds are opened to him. For those who do not have such higher senses, these worlds are dark and silent, just as the bodily world is dark and silent for a being without eyes and ears.”
From "Theosophy" by Rudolf Steiner
