Philosophical Speculations

Meanwhile, because of this inner discrepancy that leads to lack of spiritual insight and pride, purely physical 'countermeasures' are envisioned as the best way to deal with environmental problems. Instead of harmonizing our soul rhythms with the Earthly and Cosmic rhythms, truly submitting our sou...

Again, this is all well and good if by Lord one has in view the ground of reality which Christian theology, particularly classical theism eventually landed on. But in popular piety, Lord is the OT figure who had a keen interest in the status of flesh on penises, the mixing of fabrics, slaughtering ...

MM: "Dear Federica, as I already said, I don’t think it is constructive to establish whether this or that Avatar stood apart. Whatever the truth, I feel there are much more urgent issues that nowadays need to be addressed if humankind wants to progress. So, forgive me if I don't comment furthe...

Here are the latest posts. As one can see, I escalated the focus. As we have experienced here before, remaining at the metaphysical descriptive level can give the misleading sense that we are all speaking about the same things, but when things are made more concrete, that's when the real discrepanci...

In connection with this point at page 10 of the Cell Intelligence thread, where it is question of the spiritual path proposed by Sri Aurobindo, I thought I would try to render a passage from Scaligero's " From Yoga to the Rose Cross " in which he shared his understanding of Aurobindo. My ...

A couple more: MM: Yes, that's right. Wasn't this one of the central points of my essay? That of a superconscious dimension that, in humans, manifests as insights and inspirations. Something working by an evolutionary process in and through our life, mind and body. I didn't emphasize the techniques ...
