Philosophical Speculations

Anthroposophy is for those, who are gracious enough to realize their condition, and that they need to work hard to let their Self be born out of their dumbness, and evolve into adult human beings. Dear Federica, the above sounds exactly like Buddhism to me! Buddhism is all about evolving a self int...

There are no illusions !!!!

In a world of pure qualia, "quantities" are merely a qualitative illusion, too. The are not illusions, they are just a certain category of qualitative conscious phenomena (qualia) containing mathematical (quantitative) meanings. Quantities are conscious phenomena containing meanings ? &qu...

My dear friend Cleric, with all due respect, there's a simple misconception in what you wrote above.

My dear friend Cleric, with all due respect, there's a simple misconception in what you wrote above. What you, my dear friend Cleric, call 'spiritual reality' is, with al...

The above pictures of directly personally experienced Ayahuasca spiritual visions express the underlying meaning of non-sensory spiritual reality. https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A14eqnsWnYL._AC_UF1000,100...
