Way of self-development

On the way of knowledge human being encounter with two cognition mysteries: mystery of the world and mystery of human being. The world mystery reveals when experiencing outer world through sensual perceptions man quickly recognize that perceptions are dependent on him, on his psychic and physiological features. And now he doesn’t see outer world more indeed he experience himself, his own “I” when he thinks about world. Focusing on himself man experience that outer world (people and life circumstances given by his destiny) largely determines his development and also his cognitive abilities. Now he loses himself and his consciousness is again fulfilled by outer world images. This is the cognitive mystery of human being.

So the way of knowledge is always the way of self-knowledge. But for getting real knowledge of himself and the world one needs to develop his cognitive abilities to such extend when he is able to experience consciously as the essence of outer phenomenon as his own individuality. If one has not developed this kind of abilities he has to build his own worldview basing on knowledge getting by others so his spiritual potential is not used. Just anthroposophic way of knowledge contains exercises for such soul abilities development when individuality, human “I” can really master his psychic activity such as thinking, feeling and will sphere.

Anthroposophy is the way of self-development on which human being learns to experience himself as individuality without losing in the same time the world image in his thinking, he also becomes able to experience his “I” as real active one when he cognize the world and his destiny.

Every person can go by this way if he or she chooses it because of his freedom and love to cognition and truth.
