Philosophical Speculations

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...

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...

By 'liberal ideology', I intend to convey whatever is that channel which constricts the transformation of mental states from those exploring the inner value of Western civilization in so far as the latter emphasizes individual agency and sovereignty, hierarchical structure, moral ideals, inner perf...

Right, the devoted attunement is continuously complemented by the thirst for wisdom and creative innovation, and no phenomenal expressions of the Spirit can be deemed too trivial or unnecessary for our widening the aperture of living knowledge. I will also remark that, across all people with whom I...

It's a very interesting perspective, Federica. From what I can tell, it tracks well with Steiner's research as discussed here . Light itself is being destroyed in this post-Atlantean age of the Earth's existence, which until the time of Atlantis was a progressive process. Since then it has been a p...
