Philosophical Speculations

Final comments. It seems a common defense mechanism in this area is to lose all ability to distinguish writing styles and accuse two people of being the same person : ) MM: Because the "higher revelations" that my intimate feeling/knowing tells me are false I will not follow and prefer to ...

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...

Thanks, Ashvin. An example could have been useful, but the disposition to consider it was not there: Yeah, I have no illusions my side of the discussion is going anywhere fruitful either, but nevertheless here are the latest comments.

Then we find the continuity, not as a ready-made definition or logical argument, but because we have become the continuity between faith and knowledge, between subject and object, spirit and matter, etc. We experience how the Christ impulse inflows our being, elucidates our orientation to existence...

The continuity between the old faith and the perspective of SS is something I still aren't seeing. This seems to be a common result with the various interactions I've seen here. There is quite the leap from "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved" to "Strive for hig...

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 ...
