George O'Neil wrote a work book on the Philosophy of Freedom in which he was able to articulate many things very well in regards to right reading. I don't consider his work with finding certain patterns in the book significant but he was able to study the book in a way similar to myself. I used to call the first step basic reading comprehension. To experience the special way the thoughts are organized you need to rethink the thoughts with understanding. This is achieved in the same way you would study any book, looking up words in the dictionary, maybe doing some searches on key words at the RS Archive to find references of Steiner using them, and reading slow enough to absorb the thought. It is very helpful to "boil" a paragraph down to a few words.

O'Neil calls this Mastering the Content. It is a prerequisite for the next step of Contemplative Comparison. Each thought in the book has a relationship to all the other thoughts. Contemplation of these relationships lead to deeper meaning. You can go back to a passage indefinitely and gain new insights each time.

The simplest approach is to enter into the thoughts very closely while reading with focussed concentration. And then when you start having interesting experiences of insight you will know the book has lifted you to another level of comprehension and you are likely experiencing the thought-training development. It will carry over into improved everyday thinking in your life. Regular study can develop into a passion for study as this study lifts you and becomes like a spiritual food that sustains your spiritual nature.

Master of Content
To achieve this living in thought, as distinct from building in logical thought-units and letting the personal feelings determine the pattern of words, we first must become master in the highest degree of content, utterly eliminating the arbitrariness of personal preference and emphasis. Says Goethe: To have the whole in your heart, you must have conned its every part. To which Rudolf Steiner has added: First read for substance, then read again for form.

Contemplative Comparison
In contemplating the totality of a living thought-organism, correspondences and symmetries, previously unseen, begin to emerge, each illuminating the other. Meanings come forth, never before expected, revealing interdependence and mutual support. The whole is experienced as weaving interplay of single thoughts, each reflecting the whole as experiencable from its single aspects.
