Philosophical Speculations

I forgot to mention that the question of dating is in itself non-trivial too. It's not only about asking how many years ago the Atlantis or the Lemuria condition happened, but also about realizing where such methods of measuring time are applicable. Counting and keeping count , in the way we are ...

The big question arising from this is whether a rigorous spiritual science phenomenology — a concentration which yields experience structured as vertical Time-Consciousness, coherence and decoherence, stability and differentiation — generates veridical historical and cosmological content. One may ha ...

I will ask him about that. They actually do these study sessions in person, in the LA (Cali) 'Goethean science' group of the Steiner Community Center out there. He only set up the Zoom option for this session, specifically, so I could attend. Maybe they will keep it open as an option going forward ...

The question not addressed is one of veridicality. In mathematics, the "study first, see later" structure is not the end of the epistemology - it's the entrance to it. When you enact trained mathematical thinking, you enter a space where your inner movements can still go wrong. And this wrongness ...

I was recently invited to a Zoom discussion that will be anchored in this essay. It is this Friday, 8/14, at 4 PM PST. I was told I could invite others to join, so I wanted to bring it to attention here in case anyone is interested in participating. It is hosted by Michael Draskovic, and he should ...

... Hi Anthony, I just want to add something to clarify Steiner's quote that Ashvin provided above. I'm pretty sure this has been said at some point here, but anyway. When the modern secular mind confronts such a quote, it will be immediately outraged. It will say, "But this is the manifesto of ...

Hello Cleric, So when I said "single-loop", I was mainly referring to this one: https://i.ibb.co/gMVrdD05/unnamed.png By the meaninglessness of this loop, I now understood it to mean that this loop basically only exists for itself, so to speak. And then assumed that it is more meaningless than the ...

Cleric, I’ve decided to start over from scratch and begin the essay series anew this time, right from the beginning. Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about the Tarot card “The Fool” and how it describes the "sacrifice of intellect" (the abstract-thinking mode). With that in mind, I’d like to try aga ...

The Dasher metaphor is superior, because it points at the first-person living flow in the making. It goes in the same direction of thinking, so to say, from meaning to perception. However, I've found this fast reading experiment useful to get a feel for the gesture of relaxing the unpacking reflex ...

By the way, stumbling upon this post, I am reminded that you wished a reminder for this exercise. Thanks! To be honest, I haven't thought about the exercise explicitly (so one may say that I again forgot about its concrete instance), but I think its general mood is apparent in the last three parts ...
