The Path of a Rosicrucian Meditator - E. Pfeiffer

Dettagli

This true spiritual gem by E. Pfeiffer helps focus the imagination as well as inspiration and intuition, working harmoniously on thinking, feeling, and willing. It is a great resource for training our senses and limbs to open the difficult door to our individual interiority. E. Pfeiffer was undoubtedly one of R. Steiner's best and most faithful collaborators, and his hypersensitivity meant he had many problems relating to others. He was always a loner, and suffered greatly, as happens with great men out of their time. In this artistic work, he offers us the opportunity to see, through the works of his senses and his heart, some images that helped and accompanied him on his life journey. We suggest calmly and peacefully observing and meditating on each of the 21 images, which, among other things, are 21 like the musical notes, 21 like the amino acids that make up a protein. 21 is divisible by 7, 3, and 1, thus very close to the human being. 21 is also called the angelic number, the number of enthusiasm and creativity. 21 is the number of years in which the Ego begins to settle within a human being, which will be completed at 28, after having formed the physical body (0-7), the etheric body (7-14), and the soul or astral body (14-21). After working and meditating on each of these 21 works, try to redesign them yourself and you will be able to grasp important aspects of your individuality.

P. Scharff's comments are deliberately concise and non-invasive to leave the reader free to discern with his own mind what emerges from E. Pfeiffer's paintings.

This short text with the 21 imaginative sounds of E. Pfeiffer can be an important individual meditative work of artistic retrospection and discovery in our individual inner spiritual world to create our "human spiritual protein" suitable for building our Rosicrucian path.
