Philosophical Speculations

But this only confirms the point I wanted to make. And it all comes due to the already established fact that everything is expressed from the standpoint of Imagination. This is clear from other statements too, such as: "Love is the vital element of profound knowledge, intuitive knowledge. Now, one ...

Thanks for the elaboration, Rodriel. Let's focus on the bold and try to understand what's going on. Realistically, there could be no Church of the Consciousness Soul (in the sense of outer organization). Why is that? To answer, we first need to realize lucidly what life in the intellectual soul ...

Moral purity in one lifetime is sufficient for salvation. Would you be able to flesh this out a little? From a reformed "biblical" Protestant perspective, the one-life teaching is a non-negotiable and the condition for salvation is derived from the likes of Romans 10:9 If you declare with your ...

Thanks, Rodriel, for all the details. In the same line, I wonder about the following. The Catholic project, as discussed here, is mainly about vivifying the Church, as if not to waste its already existing potential. And this, of course, is logical. Not only about the RCC but for the Christian ...

Yeah, online communities are often hubs of strange personalities (what does this tell about us :D ) Rodriel, in the context of what I wrote to Ashvin above, whenever you have time, can you share something of your real-life experiences with the people who you have pursuaded to read MoT? I suppose ...

Catholic servers are overwhelmingly hangouts for a growing contingent within the Church, namely that of the right wing political reactionary seeking escape in a traditional authoritarian structure. Many of these people are disappointed to find that the Pope does not share their vision of the world ...

Rodriel, that there are two letters changes quite a bit the way you presented things. The “personal comments” made by an ailing man in the 1970 letter were in fact not very personal to the recipient, since Tomberg wrote a very similar letter already to another person a decade and a half before. It s ...

As for Cleric's diagram of the Peter and John streams progressing toward and ultimately converging in the omega point, I'm a bit confused as to where this image is coming from, as it is not what we have discussed . This has been a rather extended conversation (for which I am grateful!), so it might ...

As I see it, you owe him a few of those fuller responses, starting from the one about the amniotic sac, which you promised, but never brought forth. In any case, speaking of second coming, VT wrote in MoT about Jesus Christ who "will be present there": The last judgement will be the last crisis ...

By the way, Rodriel, I am seeing from various sources (sympathizing with VT) that the 1970 letter in question was not written to Bernhard Martin, but to Willi Seiss - the person who, 15 years later, would publish VT's work. What do you think about that? In any case, the following doesn't seem to ...
