Re: Retracing Spiritual Activity (Part VI)

Speaking of Imaginative cognition and the objective observation of soul it leads to, I have recently read this lecture , whose first words are: Today we will go somewhat further into what we considered here last Friday and Saturday, and I would like to draw your attention particularly to the life of...

Re: Retracing Spiritual Activity (Part VI)

Yet if we try to also observe what we are doing to perform the calculation (Y axis), to observe the ‘thinking-gestures’ the spirit is making to move things around in the process of solving for X, then we objectify the thinking process and behold it as space-like pictures, superimposed in our imagin...

Re: Retracing Spiritual Activity (Part VI)

Woah... this part is the one where the architecture of the series is revealed in its original character, and is brought to fruition, to enhance high-level understanding for the reader, as well as practical usefulness - thank you, Ashvin! I hope the specific and detailed character of some of my comme...

Re: Donald Hoffman's search for a mathematical theory of consciousness

Great, Federica! I think you have caught the thread very precisely. Another angle on the above is that we can speak of gravity even in the first eon. Actually, there we have it in the cleanest form because all that we have on Saturn is nothing but a vast Cosmic spiritual state of imploding memory. ...

Re: Essay: Retracing Spiritual Activity (Part V)

It seem necessary to make it pedantically precise. In my initial post, I prefaced the thoughts about the brain like so: " I haven't clarified my thoughts well enough to support what I tentatively mean " and: " At this point I feel more like ... However, as I said, I don't take these ...

Re: GA 13 - Rudolf Steiner's "Secret Science in Outline"

I am again behind - I have only browsed the video of Session 12 (close to the end of chapter IV). But I wanted to pin down the following. A participant - Bruce - pointed to Steiner's "wrong claim" about radioactivity (starting at about minute 40:00) Steiner said it has existed only for the...

Re: Essay: Retracing Spiritual Activity (Part V)

if we prematurely decide the brain must be Ashvin, I thought I'd been especially explicit about that: I do the opposite of prematurely deciding. I know well there is inevitably a connection, etc. etc. I wonder, what makes you lean towards such interpretations? (I've seen this before) Because despit...

Re: Essay: Retracing Spiritual Activity (Part V)

Thanks, Ashvin, for this and the previous additions. I guess there's not much more you can do to make it even clearer, now it's up to me to keep working with these ideas. About the brain lobes mentioned in the essay, I actually had a 'critical' comment that I finally didn't include in my post, sinc...

Re: Essay: Retracing Spiritual Activity (Part V)

I wanted to add, on this image of 'convolutions', we could make a comparison with the major 'lobes' of the brain with their convolutions, which I briefly referenced in the essay. The functions of these may not be exact correspondences with the 'rungs' or aeons, but nevertheless, I think it gives a ...
