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 ...

Re: Essay: Retracing Spiritual Activity (Part V)
Ashvin, regarding the convolutions: I see Cleric has written precisely about that, and maybe I'll be able to better understand them once I reflect on those ideas.

Re: Essay: Retracing Spiritual Activity (Part V)
A great project is taking shape through the parts of this series, Ashvin. Thanks for another insightful part! This time, it took me some more effort to get into the ideal flow. First, I had to proceed carefully through the paragraph on the “relative perspectives” and then I got clearly stuck in the ...

Re: Donald Hoffman's search for a mathematical theory of consciousness
BTW, Roger Penrose is one of the most intuitive thinkers of those who are knee-deep in the abstract intellect. Even though he seeks the answers in mathematical thinking, it's interesting to see how in this way he tries to express ideas that stem from deeper intuition (and he is to some extent aware...
