Philosophical Speculations

Thanks for sharing this Guney. I am not sure the bold is exactly right, I believe thinking is redeemed from the (1) normal rational sequences of thoughts that go with the flow of sensory stimuli, rather than from (2) the unconscious factors that guide it, while the unconscious factors are the ones ...

Great! Then I imagine the next time we hear from you, after you have digested the material on this forum at your own pace, it won't be another video link to nondual awakening, which we have all agreed traps us at the threshold of true Self-lucidity, or commiseration about the past history of the fo...

So do you conceive it is possible that when your meditation reaches its limits, another sort of meditation can go further into the depths of spiritual reality? This isn't any philosophical or religious framework. It is about taking direct introspective experience to the next level of objective inne...

It could only be because you assume it is impossible that you are misunderstanding the higher cognitive path, because you already encompass the ground-level reality from which it emerges and the only thing you may be missing are the details that are mostly worked out with intellectual thinking or s...

I am grateful for your presence on this forum for so many years. It sparked endlesss inspiring posts from Cleric, without which, my own intuitive orientation to spiritual reality would be sorely lacking. However, I get the sense that such a benefit may not continue anymore. Even though Cleric has e...

Sorry, I forgot to mention before, but your comment has reminded me, there are analytic idealism forums on Discord and Reddit (just as there are Anthroposophy forums in which I participate and where plenty of fruitful discussion happens). It's pretty odd, yet also funny to me, that you are basing a...

OK, Eugene. I see your point and I apologize that we have driven the forum in a direction that deviates from pure speculation. But picture that this purity was maintained. Where do you think that would have ever led to? After a decade, a century of pure speculation, what would have become of man? D...

In our normal life, our thinking is something like a commentator of the happenings around us and the happenings inside, like our feelings and other qualitative states of existence we go trough. In concentration it is different. There we try to consciously think our thoughts, our guide our own activ...

To be honest, my attitude towards Steiner and his teachings did change over time from mere rejection to partial acceptance. That's because I'm also an evolving being :D How can you accept something you still don't understand in the least? Someone who was partially interested in spiritual science wo...

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...
