Philosophical Speculations

When we get insights all the way into the red, we are aligning the layers, that's what I mean. Because, the thing is, we need to make choices and take action in the red, in our every life . Examples: Should we accept mRNA vaccines? Should we vote for doubling governmental military spending? Should ...

I wouldn't call any of this 'knowledge' :) As usual, most of the benefit comes, not from reaching firm conclusions about the 'right' connections to be made, but simply from moving our thinking through these archetypal soul configurations that are so prevalent in the World right now, and therefore, ...

Thanks for these thoughts, Federica. They have helped me to see how it isn't so easy to lump these characteristics into definite categories or influences, as I initially thought it may be. There seem to be many complex overlaps at work between the archetypal influences and that is to be expected in...

My present investigations lead to the view that the fossil record, for example, takes shape precisely in the way of the negative questions. As human consciousness crystallizes in the Earthly sphere, together with it crystallize the physical states of the Earth that are consistent with our state her...

Ok, let's approach this from the other direction. Your post listed a few things that stood out to you as characteristic of those who we have encountered that strongly resist lending a serious ear to the living thinking path of modern esotericism: - Galactic loneliness - Hard dissociative boundary -...

Again, I think we can leave aside the liberal v. conservative categorization (which I admittedly employed first) for now and focus only on the phenomenological characteristics. In other words, I'm not trying to establish an encompassing theoretical model for what it means to be 'cynical of the Chri...

...As Murch says, “a complex vortex of decision making is set up, a logical but unpredictable chain of ifs and thens.” Yet somehow this steady improvisation finally leads—though not always, there’s the tension—to a final answer everyone can agree with, despite the odds. At a very basic level, I don...

Again, I think this and many of the other aspects you expressed also deeply relate to cynicism with the Christ impulse. I'm not using that to mean synonymous with seeking the Good, but rather the specific way it has manifested in the course of the last 2,000 years through Western civilization. This...

Sure, I agree with it. It follows the broad principles of esoteric science, the Ahr-Lu archetypal influences, which of course are related to more particular political manifestations. But I am not even speaking of democrat v. republican or liberal v. conservative in that sense. I probably should not...
