Rudolf Steiner: The Philosophy of Freedom: The Free Spirit, Intention, and Moral Imagination

Chapters 11 and 12
The Philosophy of Freedom is the fundamental philosophical work of philosopher, Goethe scholar and esotericist Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925). It addresses the question of whether and in what sense human beings are free. Originally published in 1894 in German as Die Philosophie der Freiheit,with a second edition published in 1918, the work has appeared under a number of English titles, including The Philosophy of Spiritual Activity.
Part One examines the basis of freedom in human thinking, gives an account of the relationship between knowledge and perception, and explores the role and reliability of thinking in the formation of knowledge.
In Part Two, Steiner analyzes the conditions necessary for human beings to be free and develops a moral philosophy that he labels as "ethical individualism."

This is a very cool video and topic, I love it. So do I understand this correctly where he's talking about having moral imagination and technical skill would be that we can manifest desires (as long as they are of good intention and will not harm or hinder another) but also not expect it to happen by magic? So we have to put in the effort to improve our position for those desires to come to life, for example it is no good imagining myself being a great guitar player if I do not pick up a guitar and practice or learn new things. Similarly I cannot be happy if I stay in environments or in company that is not conducive to my happiness.
"Misadventures"?? Interesting, Lol.

Thank you for your comment. You are always so kind to watch + comment on my videos. I think a good example would be chess players and athletes who visualize even when they are lying in bed. There is something to say it does help. I think we can do this to help create space for our bodies to heal as well. But yes, I think it is a balance between doing and manifesting with being. I get what you say about environments. To some extent, a plant needs the proper environment to grow.
