Re: Symbolic thinking, Anthroposophy and Transhumanism
Cleric, Sorry for the delay in replying - I've had successive overseas trips. Of course any response to what is meant by particular words in the bible has to be prefixed with the question of provenance. Critical scholars generally agree that few words in the gospel of John can be ascribed to Jesus....

Re: Symbolic thinking, Anthroposophy and Transhumanism
Cleric, I have not said I find SS unconvincing, at least in its core ideas. Rather I am yet to be convinced of attempts to connect it to Christianity as broadly understood. In terms of what you have outlined above, my attention is drawn to points 3 and 4, the depth structure of reality. Christianit...

Re: Symbolic thinking, Anthroposophy and Transhumanism
The continuity between the old faith and the perspective of SS is something I still aren't seeing. This seems to be a common result with the various interactions I've seen here. There is quite the leap from "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved" to "Strive for hig...

Re: Symbolic thinking, Anthroposophy and Transhumanism
Anthony, Can you just say a few words on what significance this has for you? If there is a progressive transformation in humanity's understanding and relationship with the Divine, which I would say could not be made more plain for anyone who examines the whole corpus of OT and NT without modern pre...

Re: Symbolic thinking, Anthroposophy and Transhumanism
Again, this is all well and good if by Lord one has in view the ground of reality which Christian theology, particularly classical theism eventually landed on. But in popular piety, Lord is the OT figure who had a keen interest in the status of flesh on penises, the mixing of fabrics, slaughtering ...

Re: Symbolic thinking, Anthroposophy and Transhumanism
As a sort of quick and dirty phenomenological approach to this question, one could start by experiencing their current linear sequence of thoughts. For ex. right now I have thoughts condensing related to 'how to phenomenologically illustrate the Lord to Anthony'. These are linearly experienced as t...

Re: Symbolic thinking, Anthroposophy and Transhumanism
Who or what is the Lord in your polytheistic universe? What I read in these words: "Who or what" = "I don't prefer to be invited out of the anthropomorphic perspective". "polytheistic" = "I prefer to look at images at a 1-pixel resolution. Any resolution above 1 i...
