Re: Essay: Retracing Spiritual Activity (Part III)
Note: I have just edited the essay to add significant content because I felt the principles could be fleshed out more and the transitions could be better. For anyone who already read it, you may want to give it another pass through.

Re: A few definitions
I am not disparaging the role of introspection by suggesting to clarify terms in a conversation. For example, two persons could have an extended conversation about football, yet one person is thinking European football (soccer), and the other is thinking American football. A 'simple' clarification ...

Essay: Retracing Spiritual Activity (Part III)
What we have so far discussed in Part I and Part II has been mostly a principled overview of the spiritual retracing path, although, if we have been imaginatively engaging this overview, we have also started the retracing as well. In the last part, we examined the most common ‘thinking molds’ that t...

Re: Essay: Spiritual Retracing - Principle Overview (Part I)
So you are saying that we need to resort to 'previous' solar evolutions we never discussed here, or read about in Steiner or elsewhere (as far as I know), in order to find what Cleric said not confusing? Do you really think Cleric was implying something of that kind - previous solar systems where s...

Which one? :D :) Joking aside - thanks for the reminders. The question below is the one I asked, and Ashvin said: "Yes it does". To clarify, what I meant was that our storied 'history' of the Cosmos, for ex. the whole conception of the Kant-Laplace nebula or the Big Bang and how it gradua...

Re: Essay: Spiritual Retracing - Principle Overview (Part I)
... I'm speaking about what in our Darwinian conception looks like the chain of mutating species that transform from chemical soup, through single-celled organisms, all the way to a human being. An interesting question that science and philosophy are concerned with, especially after the discoveries...

Re: Donald Hoffman's search for a mathematical theory of consciousness
What I was asking was to be pointed at some current/past philosophical developments that take time in the sense of the metaphor. My thinking was that we don't experience the time flow in certain direction because of some external law (like increasing entropy, etc.) but because this is the only way ...

Re: A few definitions
There are words and phrases bandied about - and I'm wondering how folks employ them. For example the word 'soul'. Some regard the soul as the immortal aspect of an individual, perhaps the inner-most thoughts, desires and feelings of a person. Does the soul evolve, or, is the soul the highest\purest...
