Philosophical Speculations

I have no entry point for terms like "living elementals", "soul life", "weave our inner activity into the World state" . . . these expressions don't convey any notion I can latch onto . . . and they're not even googleable. To me they read like words randomly slammed tog...

"willing-feeling-thinking" or "Sat Chit Ananda" . . . these are words we use as a concession to having a conversation . . . we can't use words and at the same time call them a trap, or the real zinger . . . it's a trap if Lorenzo uses words and concepts, but not a trap if Ashwin ...

I am not getting what you (and Cleric) are trying to say . . . I think we agree that 'being Lorenzo' and 'being Ashwin' are not eternal . . . but are you saying "willing-feeling-thinking" is eternal, or could be? Not sure about that, but I would offer\begin with Sat Chit Ananda as reality....

Ok, so this is the core difference between the intuitive thinking path and the standard 'nondual' approach, which we have discussed many times with you and Eugene.

This is a big topic - if you have a suggestion on how get it st...

Yes Anthroposophy does employ the word 'thinking' more broadly then I do. I stand by my claim that knowledge of past lives is a separate issue from recognizing \ established in one's true nature.
We are going round and round - thanks for your answer.

Now I appreciate that you are a tolerant person and you always tell that anyone is free to do whatever they want, even if it is to chase the golden calf. But I’m still unclear whether you think that the experience of the world serves any purpose for spiritual development besides being the experient...

I use the word 'knowable' as in - in principle, there are no inherent barriers to knowledge. So yes, knowledge of past and future lives is possible. My question has been re the value\utility of this knowledge, other than the sensational. And whether it's worth the years and decades of time that may ...

Alright, so at least you are saying here the knowledge that a future ticket will be written for your car at an expired meter influences your current decision of where and how to park. Due to thinking experience, you can anticipate diverse intentional influences - such as the legislators who made th...
