Philosophical Speculations

I'm not sure what you're referencing, Lou. "Instead, reality is known by uniting with the ideal intents that weave the Cosmos." Yes, in a way analogous to how you need to unite with the ideal intents of an author if you are to understand why he or she has arranged the glyphs in that parti...

So it's not important whether it is performed with 'thinking' or not (or with science or magic or whatever). What matters is whether or not it can be performed. I'm not sure what you're referencing, Lou. "Instead, reality is known by uniting with the ideal intents that weave the Cosmos."

Cleric, Why does Peter deunov not speak about spiritual activity in the way steiner or you do it?

PS: I think Mind is much bigger than my thoughts. I think you do too. What's the beef? Well, beef was an exaggeration, I simply addressed your "prejudice" (your own word). When people hear 'mind' it usually equates to intellect, dry and calculating. I believe this is why at first you coul...

Lemme keep it short. Your "meditation" was fun. I got a suggestion of the song "Somewhere Over the Rainbow, a symbolic portrayal of the evolutionary process and a bottom-up and top-down view of process leading to both technology and story. This arrived instantaneously and required no ...

This small essay can be considered as an outline of several more detailed essays that will hopefully be posted soon.
