Georg Kühlewind Livres

Depuis une vingtaine d'années, un nombre croissant d'enfants qui viennent au monde sont différents de ceux auxquels les parents et les pédagogues étaient habitués. Ces enfants - on les appelle aussi les enfants " indigo " - font preuve dès leur naissance d'une étonnante maturité et apportent avec eux une puissante impulsion spirituelle. Souvent, ils sont insatisfaits par le monde des adultes qu'ils découvrent autour d'eux. La plupart disposent d'un trop-plein d'énergie vitale, si bien qu'on les prend pour des hyperactifs et qu'on les traite par des médicaments qui anéantissent les nouvelles impulsions qu'ils amènent. Si les adultes ne les comprennent pas - et ne savent pas se comporter de façon juste à leur égard - ils deviennent des enfants " difficiles ", voire des toxicomanes et des criminels. L'attitude la plus adaptée à leur égard est : respect et sincérité. Or cela implique, de la part de l'adulte, un sérieux travail sur soi. La plus grande partie de ce livre est consacrée à ce travail.

"To become aware of the Logos is to become aware of the Logos in oneself.... The world speaks. Before all else, it utters speaking itself. Or does speaking utter the world." So begin the first two chapters of this inspired, existential meditation on the contemporary meaning of the message of St. John: "In the beginning was the Word." Through this Word--Logos--all things became. In it was life, the light of human beings. It shown I the darkness, and the darkness received it not. It was in the world, and the world did not know it. It entered individual being, and, to those who received it, it gave the ability to become the children of God. Its radiance was seen, full of grace and truth. The fruit of many years of study and meditation, Becoming Aware of the Logos places the reader in the world of living thinking and cognitive love. It teaches the way of grace and truth in a radical, original manner. For the Logos, although it is the ground of any true logic, is beyond ordinary dialectic. The author does not approach his subject conventionally, but penetrates and communicates it by unfolding central themes such as: the Logos in the beginning; the light in the darkness; the speaker; life; spirit; grace; and truth.

The aim of this book is to show that the world, including human beings and their consciousness, is not originally a world of thing but a world of words; that fundamentally the world has the structure of a text; and that it is therefore possible to read it like a test (Georg Kühlewind). To realize this goal one must keep in mind three different approaches, or disciplines: epistemology, psychology, and linguistics. These are united by the phenomenology - "empiricism of consciousness" - used by the author, who always speaks from and toward experience. This is no ordinary text. It is a guide to philosophical experience - to the experience of cognition itself.

"Truths cannot be transmitted simply as stable dogmas. Truths are always of a given moment and, at each moment, must be grasped anew. This demands at each moment a renewed activity in relation to the human gift of understanding." -- Jörgen Smit (from the foreword) The goal of this study is to cultivate the experience of living, intuitive thinking, such as we experience with every new understanding. As Kühlewind puts it, this unique contribution to practice of anthroposophy has a twofold purpose: "to stimulate working with spiritual science through exercises, and to stimulate independent new formulations of its content on the basis of experience." Working with Anthroposophy will help guide beginning students and inspire longtime students of the path opened up by Rudolf Steiner. As with all of Kühlewind's works, this book opens new insights with each reading.

In this study, Georg Kuhlewind establishes a truly spiritual psychology. This psychology distinguishes between the subconscious regions explored by previous psychological schools and the supra-consciousness, which is identified as the light-filled, living source of our normal waking awareness and thought. As such, it is radically "present, " in contrast to our normal thoughts and emotions, which belong to a "past-consciousness, " composed of preformed elements. As readers of Kuhlewind's other books are aware, the non-dual realm is not to be found spatially or temporally but exists within the very processes of cognition. Kuhlewind explains how the diseases of consciousness familiar to us today arise from the decay of this higher cognitive potential.
