Re: Essay: Retracing Spiritual Activity (Part IV)
Thank you Ashvin, I thought it would maybe be insightful to speak about the phenomenology of concentration after the essays from you To begin I want to emphasize that I haven’t reached a level where I can talk about these things in definite terms. I just want to open a topic in which hopefully every...

Re: Essay: Retracing Spiritual Activity (Part II)
In Part I, we laid out some broad principled foundations of the instinctively developed mental, emotional, and physical spaces of life and started to discuss the principles of spiritually retracing these spaces. To start this section, let’s first be clear that exploring this foundation is not entir...

Re: Pictorial Thinking
I noticed that I live in my normal 'mode' of consciousness, and can enter into a more 'phenomenological' mode. But I only get in there if I think or write down what has been shared a thousand times in this forum by Cleric and Ashvin. I must be active in concentrating that intuition in thoughts, to g...

Re: Pictorial Thinking
It's interesting because the Aphantasia issue can actually become an advantage in concentration. I think we are all familiar with the inner stance that Cleric described in Part 2: This expectation for the image itself to be the source of more exoteric perceptions and deeper insights could be height...

Re: Symphony
Sorry that I didn't answer the replies. I did notice them today. Thank you all for the participation. I thought about how music will change in the future as evolution progresses. I think it will become more 'electronic' and a lot more ai generated in the next years. Maybe music will become a means o...

Book excerpt
I found this in a book from an antroposopher. It is very simple to read and connects a lot of concept to our first person experience. How do you find that short excerpt? This leaves us asking how we can be more aware of our soul and spirit. The best place to start is to think about how we connect to...

Re: Pictorial Thinking
This expectation for the image itself to be the source of more exoteric perceptions and deeper insights could be heightened if we have a rich visualization capacity to begin with. In that case, we may more easily lose sight of the intuitive gestures that are made in the process of concentration, th...

Re: Symphony
Thanks Güney, I've listened to it. It's interesting: though I find this concert to have character, taste and consistency, I would feel dragged down, not helped, if I were to couple it with thinking exercises. It's as if I was listening to someone sharing with me their problems, questions, struggles...
