Logical Proof of Free Will
Hey all, I wrote a logical theory for how we have free will, and I'm interested in feedback. There probably isn’t much new information here for you guys. But I am attempting to write a logical proof that would be engage the average reader, and be convincing to even the harshest critics of free will....

Re: Why Man Creates Art: Kanye West as an Archetypal Artist
These are very intuitive insights, Grant, as usual! We should be wary of trying to generalize these things too broadly. One thing I have learned is that there are always exceptions to the 'rules' when it comes to higher spiritual realities, such as those connected with how our soul-spirit element i...

Re: Why Man Creates Art: Kanye West as an Archetypal Artist
That’s an interesting point about how we develop illnesses within dysfunctional organs that are obstructing spiritual clarity in our phenomenal experiences in order to rejuvenate our spiritual outlook therefrom. If we understand our body as an apparatus woven out of our own will before we are born,...

Re: Why Man Creates Art: Kanye West as an Archetypal Artist
I genuinely enjoyed the songs, but maybe your impulse to create and share the music is also serving a higher purpose in the deepening of your spiritual life? It's another thing to think about. That is absolutely the case, and kind of the point I was trying to get across. It is an alternative means ...

Re: Why Man Creates Art: Kanye West as an Archetypal Artist
Hey Frederica, I appreciate your feedback. I can see how you drew comparisons to both those songs, especially with the vocal melodies and the rhythm section of Wicked Game. I'm a bit worried that the song kind of "floods itself" (for lack of a better phrase) with all the slow tempo soarin...

Re: Why Man Creates Art: Kanye West as an Archetypal Artist
Grant, True, reflection is simply one of many concepts we can use to speak of the relation between spiritual and physical-perceptual. Sometimes we speak of the physical as a shadow of those forces (like in Plato's allegory), or as negative images, or as a Maya dream state. I like the way you charac...

Re: Why Man Creates Art: Kanye West as an Archetypal Artist
Thanks. I should be more careful with my descriptions so as to not refer to the conscious activity of the earth as belonging to the physical earth, but the “earth entity(ies)”. I suspect the physical features of a conscious entity are constructed by its own spiritual forces, rather than being a “re...

Re: Why Man Creates Art: Kanye West as an Archetypal Artist
(...) Rather, I hold the (probably controversial) opinion that Kanye West's ego is often extremely healthy, but when it is unhealthy, it is very unhealthy. Like I mentioned in my last comment, When our connection to the divine is blocked for whatever reason, we often become reliant on our own pride...

Re: Why Man Creates Art: Kanye West as an Archetypal Artist
I agree. The life of higher thinking is necessary to give persistent direction to our spiritual beliefs so we can access the true knowledge sheathed underneath, which is often lacking in most people. But I do suspect that this can be developed in the “average individual” with practice. As in, they ...
