Philosophical Speculations

Here is a very interesting diagram from Prokofieff on how PoF Ch IX relates to the spiritual journey before birth (into incarnation) and after death. It also fits with the idea of retracing, through moral cognitive development, from the midpoint of earthly freedom to the 'Cosmic midnight hour' of sp...

I have been working on an essay which will be broken into a few sections. It is still a work in progress, but the first section is mostly complete and I will post the first part here. The first section is mostly an overview of the principled foundation for the intuitive thinking path, a broad surve...

By the way, this gives me an idea for a small new project. First I thought I would order a printed version of the book, but here's what I'll do instead: today I'll buy a new notebook and I'll start transcribing PoF, with the intention to progress daily. I will pick the 1964 Michael Wilson translati...
