Philosophical Speculations

https://i.ibb.co/5hjjSf7D/File-20251201-212811.jpg Right, and if either of you feel like joining the group at some point, I was somehow made into an admin and can admit you :) Although I throw a lot of flack at such groups and the way most members approach spiritual science, which I think is ...

Same here. I have a FB account, but without being a member of the group it doesn't work.

Thank you for your reply, Federica. Interestingly, what I intuitively recognized in my last reply seems to be something that Steiner tried to illustrate a long time ago, without me really knowing that Steiner had spoken about it in detail. I found this about half an hour ago today, and it seems to ...

With these examples you have given Kaje, I suppose our idea of finding relevance in the essays and dressing up mental dolls is highly misaligned .

We can surely explore various reasons why this introspective method seems to present (or even trigger) inner obstacles for modern souls, and I would say we have already been exploring those reasons across these recent threads. It is critical to get a more refined feeling for these inner obstacles ...

Especially when (moreover) facts show that attempts to talk people into practicing the development of clairvoyance upfront do not work very well, to say the least. Yes, or as Rodriel expressed before: "The sober fact of the matter is that the overwhelming majority of people incarnated on earth ...

The value of "merely preparing" is to help the scientifically minded person who feels that "there is more" to reality, attune themselves to the inner path, when the guidance of true introspective observation of the inner process doesn't seem to resonate immediately (as you have witnessed many times ...
