Philosophical Speculations

Rodriel, How do you think the Catholic conception of Christ and the Incarnation can be reconciled with the anthroposophical conception? The Church radically rejects the idea that there were two Jesus children or that the Incarnation was only complete after the baptism, among other things. This ...

You're right - we most definitely need to account for the evolution of consciousness in our reckonings of the future. I'll look forward to learning of this example you mention. What do people do when they need to solve certain issues that concern larger groups? They arrange a meeting, forum ...

As everyone is aware, there are very few people, even among the spiritually inclined, who truly manage to develop a deep connection with anthroposophy. I personally found it easier to engage with Heidegger’s philosophy and find grounding in it than to study Steiner’s spiritual works and truly und ...

> While the experiences themselves are mystical, they cannot claim scientific status —neither universally applicable nor verifiable. It follows that so-called “spiritual science” can only be psychologically convincing on the basis of faithful endorsement by a particular group of people, and objec ...

Thank you all for this thread!

Anyone who has at least some notion of metaphors ...

As mentioned, I am currently rereading *Meditations on the Tarot* and Tomberg’s *Lazarus* book. For me, it has been one of the most formative, if not the most formative, occult book I have read so far. What was your experience with this work? Guney, I was going to elaborate on this more, but I t ...

Hi all, I'm new here (actually I was active here over a decade ago under a different name), at the invitation of Ashvin. I'd like to respond to Guney on the subject of Tomberg and Steiner. I'd use the "reply with quote" feature but am not yet entirely confident about my ability to do this properly ...

It all depends on us admitting in humility that our mediative experience of BA, no matter how deep and profound and universal it feels, is still only a constrained intuition of even deeper scales of spiritual activity over which it is modulated. It is these deeper scales that are artistically ...
