Philosophical Speculations

Ashvin said: …in fact, most of what you express intuitively resonates with me immediately, or strokes my etheric body as Steiner may say :) , because I am also traversing the same idea-space. I simply focus on the parts where it seems further harmonization is needed. So I am grateful for your contin...

Ashvin said: "But no one is asking for your belief or wants to prove these ideas to you, even if we could, because that would rob you of spiritual life and freedom. We are simply giving you hints in which direction to look so you can freely experience the ever-deepening layers of meaning in the...

Thank you for your views, Federica. I agree that the personal filtration system is limiting, but don't forget that BK would say the same thing - you must have seen his 'dashboard' metaphor. We are all bound by a filtration system, the instruments on the dashboard of the aircraft's cockpit, which are...

Soloma, I'm glad your health has improved. What you say about Jesus and his disciples is a new idea for me - I think your interpretation is good.

Soloma, you appear to be a highly evolved soul! Can you demonstrate your skills - for example, post a video of yourself passing through a solid object?
