Philosophical Speculations

PS - I made some more edits to add in a Moire pattern metaphor (two paragraphs around the middle) and to restructure the ending a bit, fleshing out the principles discussed. Great idea. One thing I noticed only recently with the Moiré patterns animation is that it's useful to contemplate it in full...

Thanks Ashvin. For my part I feel I first need to gain some understanding of what radioactivity is from a conventional scientific perspective. I'll paste here a simple description from this webpage . Radioactivity, a Natural or Man-Made Phenomenon The decay of unstable atoms releases radiation, a ph...

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...

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...

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...

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. ...

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 ...

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...

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...

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)
