Philosophical Speculations

Kaje, Be careful with all this, please. In Steiners “True and False Paths in Spiritual Investigation” GA 243, especially chapters VIII and IX on aberrations and abnormal paths to clairvoyance, there is relevant food for thought when it comes to all such techniques where some level of lower cla ...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Df4HuwCQY7A It's hard to discern here, but having watched plenty of rainbolt's videos and his excellent OSINT skills, some argued that he's a "remote viewer". However, I slightly have to disagree with that notion, since I more believe it to be a very excellent ...

A good fitting example for this essay part's theme that immediately raised to my mind here are so-called speedruns that often come with certain challenges, such as refusing to press a certain button during the entire run of the game. One of my favorite childhood games such as Super Mario 64 has many ...

I noticed that currently Kühlewind's book and this essay series by Cleric seems to work the best for me, by the way. The other essay series worked too, but this one seems more aligned with my "habitual" Self since I'm deeply into computer science, video games, etc. Right now my exam phase has begun, ...

I would like to share a video that follows an online Minecraft event where about 1000 players participate. Thank you for sharing that video, Cleric. I have to say, I could kinda see what you mean, but I think I was entertained by it too, although the story wasn't really that original, of course. I ...

Such a lack of seriousness within the inner flow should not be confused with some rational decision that we can just as easily choose to change. The phenomenological observation of psychological states certainly makes ...

Yes, I read the book and appreciated it. Yet, getting what HHU - or sound common sense - really means in Steiner is not so easy. It's a thin line. For example, in this lecture (1922) it appears clearly that sound common sense refers to someone who has not developed clairvoyance. And so the question ...

Thank you very much, Cleric, for Part 5! I can also see the similarities between Chess and the way how proving a mathematical theorem works. Although not the same, there's also this certain intuitive activity, the imagination, that plays through the different "inner movements" allowed within a ...

Hi, Kaje, sorry for the delayed response. I wrote the above simply in contrast with the alternative of neglecting Earthly affairs. We do need some kind of way to provide for ourselves and those we are responsible for. And I think that your education is both a way to do that in the future, and also ...

However, within this wonderful text there is also a deficiency that troubles me. By adopting a semi-phenomenological position and taking thinking as the starting point of his investigation—attempting to show how (objective) experience is synthesized through thinking—Steiner remains, in a certain res ...
