Philosophical Speculations

As said, I think exoteric events are secondary in the context of this discussion. However, since it’s happening right now, and it's not a minor thing, it's interesting to take note of another sign of the RCC’s will to expand its reach and consensus - besides the already mentioned signs. The day bef ...

That is not correct - the subtle half-messaging is how Cleric has described it multiple times. In fact, I have suggested it is better thought of in terms of the 'attempts and hints' that Cleric used to describe the autonomous and spontaneous projects. No one denies what you are saying. As I have ...

It struck me immediately that we cannot treat VT's expressions as directly comparable to most spiritual scientific teachings from Steiner. On the one hand, we criticize VT for his subtle half-messaging approach, but on the other, we forget about this approach when evaluating the meaning of his ...

I will chime in here again briefly to point out that this is another instance where Tomberg's pedagogical style is misinterpreted as operating at the level of fact in the manner of Steinerian spiritual science. In saying that evil cannot be known it its essence, Tomberg is reiterating the ...

I don't know if my input really means anything here, but to me The Church always intuitively seemed to me to be a "A home to always come back to (when everything lays astray)" and when one needs guidance and less an integral part of Evolution (although one can arguably say that if it does serve a ...

This basically splits human knowledge into the practical sphere and the sphere of mystical revelation , which is a matter of personal experience that shouldn't be talked about much (does this remind us of Eugene, who says that his meditative experiences are too intimate to share?). In other words ...

The movie points to a real and imminent possibility (which we were discussing on this thread before the movie was even released), and a spiritual scientific inquiry loses all meaning if it is simply ignores such possibilities and how they shape the real-time evolutionary process. Rodriel and I ...
