It is attained by developing more and more, I would say, the opposite pole of meditation and concentration. Anyone who has acquired a certain practice in meditation and concentration knows that when you energize thinking, you also get the inner inclination to dwell on what arises as a part of the soul as energized thinking. One must exert oneself more when leaving these energized imaginative thoughts than when leaving any other thought. But if one can now really throw these energized thoughts out of consciousness again - this whole imaginative world that one has first appropriated -, if one can empty consciousness, not cannot be emptied from the ordinary point of view, but can be emptied after one has first inwardly strengthened it, then this emptiness of consciousness becomes something quite different from what the emptiness of consciousness is in ordinary life. There the emptiness of consciousness is sleeping.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"6.

Man muß sich beim Verlassen dieser erkrafteten imaginativen Gedanken mehr anstrengen als beim Verlassen eines anderen Gedankens. Aber wenn man es dazu bringt, daß man nun wirklich aus dem Bewußtsein wiederum herauswerfen kann diese erkrafteten Gedanken - diese ganze imaginative Welt, die man sich zunächst angeeignet hat -, wenn man mit anderen Worten das Bewußtsein leer machen kann - nicht leer machen kann auf dem gewöhnlichen Standpunkt, sondern leer machen kann, nachdem man es zuerst innerlich erkraftet hat -, dann wird diese Leerheit des Bewußtseins etwas ganz anderes, als was die Leerheit des Bewußtseins im gewöhnlichen Leben ist.
