The striving for higher spirituality, the development of the human soul is characteristic of many people and for various reasons. But first of all, the knowledge of the higher worlds implies serious work on oneself. Practical rules are given by Rudolf Steiner in his book How to Achieve Knowledge of the Higher Worlds. There are no mysterious tricks here, this is the usual methodical work with consciousness, thoughts and feelings.
Instructions
Step 1
Cultivate a life of feelings and thoughts. Direct the attention of the soul to the processes of the surrounding world. Surrender to your feelings and thoughts, capture any, not letting them slip past your perception. At the same time, forbid yourself petty sensitivity, perverse and lustful thoughts. Also analyze sounds, living and non-living, learn to understand what the sound carries in itself if it is emitted by a living being. Learn to listen to people and remain silent at the same time, suppressing the desire to agree or contradict the speaker.
Step 2
Develop your inner, spiritual eye. To do this, learn to concentrate by looking at and comparing objects (living and non-living) of the outside world. In this case, your thoughts should be accompanied by feelings, i.e. you must fix your attention on them and learn to distinguish between them. Thus, you open and train an additional channel for receiving information - your senses and "vision" with their help.
Step 3
Try to develop your sensory perception and that which is not visible with the eye. In many objects, for example, in a seed, there is a latent power that will then allow this seed to develop into a plant. But this power is not visible to the eye. Your thought about this should be imaginative and persuasive and accompanied by some kind of feeling that needs to be cultivated.
Step 4
Develop and improve your character, fight irritation and other negative emotions - anger, envy, etc. Desires and lusts should not guide you on the path of cognition of the higher worlds. First, get joy from the very knowledge and exercises, then be guided by desires. Learn to control yourself and discard any fears, superstitions and thoughts if they contradict logic. The same should be done with illusions, fantasies.
Step 5
Cultivate patience, equanimity, be content with the slightest success. Make a lot of attempts and give time for new feelings to take hold in the soul.
