Philosophical Speculations

Personally i'm not interrested by the Steiner cult. I thought the forum would be more ecclectic and stopped visiting after noticing it's just Steiner spammed everywhere. If I was Bernardo I'd be a bit pissed at having my name on this forum, as he is either dismissed, misrepresented or ignored. Meth...

Hi Martin, you say you got to BK through Rupert Spira. Analytic idealism is the intellectual counterpart to Ruperts work. Do you find spira lacking in joy and meaning? I would simply supplement Bernardo work with the spiritual understanding that pure rationality cannot convey.

I just hope that when/if they arrive we've gotten Wetiko under control, because if not, we'll project everything that's wrong onto the Arrivals instead of working with ourselves, and we'd be none the wiser for it. Some argue that extraterrestrials spiked us with Wetiko as an evolutionary 'boost'. C...

PS: Ashvin, QUITE CONTRARY to the advice given to you by Dana, I would STRONGLY recommend that you watch and carefully consider the full video. I suspect that you might find yourself in substantial agreement with BK's critique of intellectual thinking and his much deeper defense of myth. Don't wast...

Just putting it out there so ppl check their video and form their own opinion. That's all. Well of course others can and will have their own opinion about the interview, and BK's vision of humanity's capacity for spiritual growth, beyond being dismissed as self-deception. So I'm curious what it is ...

Hardly, but perhaps you jest?

I jest greatly. And calling Kastrup a nihilist is as absurd as calling Rumi a nihilist.

That's a very simplified take on what my problem is. I don't really have time to elaborate now, but the conclusion I'd rather avoid is that there's no positive and no negative, there's nothing to strive towards, there's no good and bad. That's nihilism. Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing...

Yes, but living with Ideals doesn’t mean the world has Cosmic Meaning, and doesn’t mean every thought and perception has to generate or harvest a Cosmic Mood. Isn’t this BKs point in recent interviews? Ultimately, We don’t want to go to a therapist and be told we can make our own meaning. We want t...

Not trying to scare you, but the cost of truth is your entire world.

The good news is no one is forcing you, you can hang out in Samsara a long time before this stuff knocks at your door. Go for something more comforting, the truth can wait because it doesn't really go away.
