Re: This forum
Sorry, I forgot to mention before, but your comment has reminded me, there are analytic idealism forums on Discord and Reddit (just as there are Anthroposophy forums in which I participate and where plenty of fruitful discussion happens). It's pretty odd, yet also funny to me, that you are basing a...

Re: This forum
OK, Eugene. I see your point and I apologize that we have driven the forum in a direction that deviates from pure speculation. But picture that this purity was maintained. Where do you think that would have ever led to? After a decade, a century of pure speculation, what would have become of man? D...

Re: Essay: Retracing Spiritual Activity (Part IV)
In our normal life, our thinking is something like a commentator of the happenings around us and the happenings inside, like our feelings and other qualitative states of existence we go trough. In concentration it is different. There we try to consciously think our thoughts, our guide our own activ...

Re: This forum
To be honest, my attitude towards Steiner and his teachings did change over time from mere rejection to partial acceptance. That's because I'm also an evolving being :D How can you accept something you still don't understand in the least? Someone who was partially interested in spiritual science wo...

Re: This forum
I have a lot of respect to Steiner and his teachings , even though I do not fully subscribe to them. But my feeling is that if he would know what some people do in his name, he would be deeply concerned and ashamed. I'm sorry, but this is just a lie. A few years ago you wrote: Most spiritual tradit...

Re: This forum
Cleric - Your lumber metaphor and use is the exact definition of 'cultish' - odd that you can't see it. You're suggesting that you (and Ashwin) see and speak of wood in the only correct and reasonable manner. A more useful metaphor would be that you and Ashwin see wood as a Sentient Being, and the ...

Re: This forum
No one is being pushed or punished here, unlike when you privately whined to BK and suggested that he ban us from the forum. That's just not true, I never suggested that. I only made him know that the forum's main content no longer has anything to do with his philosophy and it is hijacked by the gr...

Re: This forum
Eugene, Why is it that the non-dual approach does not sensitize you to cognitive dissonance? I am genuinely curious. I have no objections against what you said, Cleric. It is indeed important to expand our reach of knowledge to ideal activity of these higher orders and its curvatures. It is these c...

Re: This forum
This forum is exceedingly one-pointed (cultish) with a particular POV, and no other POV's are tolerated. I keep forgetting this - and keep making the same mistake of returning. This is on me . . . I now sense I have achieved escape velocity . . . That is exactly what it is. And moreover, if we look...

Re: This forum
Lorenzo, please take note: in my message, I stated: 1. verifiable facts 2. my opinion that the lack of expressed engagement with the object of Cleric's and Ashvin's "countless" posts - that is, living thinking - signals that one is not interested in living thinking, when this goes on for ...
