Lego arrangements of conceptual thoughts, interesting, perhaps beautiful and even deeply explanatory of important truths. They are all those things at best, but they are not being. Steiner's explanation is the best understanding I have encountered of why the discipline of logical thought is necessary to developing thinking with the heart. It is often presented as its enemy - and that is a trap.

It became obvious that Christianity was beautiful and good and led me to marry and have kids.<br /><br />This did however leave me confused as to where reason fit into my spiritual practice so I simplified by leading with my heart, which I trust has access to all of my reasons, to use in whatever way it might do so. So for me, the hierarchy was critical.<br /><br />This doesn't seem too dissimilar to Steiner's point though perhaps a more childish way of looking at it and without the emphasis on training your logical thinking. I'm glad you shared this.Sean G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03107563428752354740noreply@blogger.com
