Philosophical Speculations

...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...

I have been working on an essay which will be broken into a few sections. It is still a work in progress, but the first section is mostly complete and I will post the first part here. The first section is mostly an overview of the principled foundation for the intuitive thinking path, a broad surve...

As the discussion on the other thread is centered on understanding what Christ promised and prophesied in a way that has practical relevance for the course of Earthly evolution and our individual lives, and that is not "hopelessly abstract, remote, floating in the air", I would like to quo...

When multiple people specifically suggest a messaging is toxic, or people flee a messaging - instead of pointing fingers at the suggestions, perhaps the messengers should inspect their presentation and manner. Lorenzo, it's not multiple people, it's one person. By the way, have you read the message...
