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 ...

Re: Essay: Retracing Spiritual Activity (Part IV)
I already added some sentences to these concluding paragraphs, see if this makes it any clearer (edited back into the original post, beginning with "the sensory landscape"). Yes it does, and the other comments too. Only this: By intensely focusing our concepts as testimonies to the proces...

Re: Essay: Retracing Spiritual Activity (Part IV)
Thanks for another brilliant and rich installment, Ashvin. I will add a few personal comments. These are essentially about the choices of narrative flow, not about substance. The one slightly more substantial question I have is about the choice to present a conceptualization of imaginative cognitio...

Re: This forum
Of course, there are quite different individualities here, but how this is relevant to the question I asked, I fail to see. And I thought it was agreed that, in what you and Cleric attempt to convey, there are indeed clear facts to understand and integrate. Besides, Ashvin, you have often warned pe...

Re: This forum
And I thought it was agreed that, in what you and Cleric attempt to convey, there are indeed clear facts to understand and integrate. Sorry, this part was pretty clear. The facts on this inner path are ones that cut across everything we have been conditioned to think about 'how reality works', 'wha...
