Lovely post, and thanks for sharing. This addresses many of the same things- and even highlights some of the same quotes- that I found interesting!
I too wonder about the differentiation between internal imaginative experiences and the Imaginative Cognition Steiner refers to. Without pulling out the exact quote, in several places Steiner says “it’s the difference between imagining putting one’s hand on a hot surface, and actually burning one’s hand on a hot surface.”
And of course the challenge is determining what is generally objective, and what is simply a reflection of the internal soul state! The quote from Goethe is very apt. Thanks for sharing.
