Philosophical Speculations

From here, either something extraordinary is about to happen (I have seen that someone has just been visiting the essay link) or a final rebuttal comment is about to be dropped :) I joined in with a comment as well: Marco, when Federica refers to the vertical path to dealing with these environmenta...

I will soon read Steiner's Human Life in the Light of Spiritual Science . He gives it as a short manual for practical communication of spiritual science. As I understand it, it's about how the many can integrate spiritual science in everyday life, in a concrete way, before any level higher cognitio...

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 ...

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...

Ashvin, are you going to reply to MMs latest? I am drafting a reply but may post it tomorrow. Probably a final post to close the discussion, assuming he doesn't suddenly take an interest in the higher cognitive path :) Did you want to suggest something? Just that I think I see where his stance come...

Further comments, which could very well be the last : ) MM: Oh… I see. Well, you must consider the universality of his vision. While Sri Aurobindo was very knowledgeable about the Western culture, he didn’t attach to Christ more importance than what Buddha, Krishna, or other so-called ‘Avatars’ repr...
