Re: The Central Topic

For this research is not based on speculation, on a day dreaming in terms of mere concepts, but on actual spiritual experience . There is no argument that the Steiner's paradigm is based on spiritual experience. The argument is whether or not all spiritual/conscious experiences are entirely reducib...

Re: The Central Topic

PS: so, for experiential-consciousness idealists, the music is a unique ever-fresh experience of music, and for each idea of a music piece there is an innumerably rich infinite variety of qualitative conscious experiences of the same music (that includes not only auditory sensations, but emotional, ...

Re: The Central Topic

This is done for the simple reason that otherwise it would logically lead to the implications that we're not simply loci of conscious fabric which attract and repel each other through exchange of spiritual photons (part of the opaque to consciousness fabric-in-itself) but the our loci exist within ...

Re: The Central Topic

Then comes Eugene and begins to mud the water for everyone with things that should have been settled long ago. He keeps returning with the Platonism argument, although it has been worked out at length (for example here ). Then he says that if all potential exists as simultaneous infinity this makes...

Re: The Central Topic

To keep the talk centered, may everyone state their view on the question of time. Does every moment simply build upon the previous? Or there's some structure/attractor/curvature that spans across time and there could be corresponding modes of consciousness that can resonate with it (which alone can...

Re: Evil abstraction: the psychology of totalitarianism

For those interested in the philosophical and ideological foundations of Putin's political views and plans developed by Russian philosopher Dugin, here are good discussions on it showing why the world should be concerned: Mikhail Epstein "Where is the center of hell?" Political Theology: A...

Re: The Central Topic

PS: Also, the existence of the Absolute state of all states makes making choices meaningless, because for every "me making the right choice" there equally exist all the states of "me making all kinds of other choices" (in other words, all other versions of me making all other pos...

Re: The Central Topic

This could be imagined to be the Absolute state of being. It's such that all other infinitely many conceivable states are experienced as self-similar to it. Not only 'our' states but states of any conceivable being at any phase of development. Or in other words it's a state which feels that every c...

Re: The Central Topic

My question is how do you envision the nature of these constraints. What is it really which makes our body take a form with two hands instead of any form that we may would like? And what is the body really? This is a very good question, Cleric, and I do not know the answer, but it's one of the ques...

Re: The Central Topic

Cleric, I would add that the curvatures of potentials and meanings are not something that is pre-destined to us and only created by higher-order beings, but that they are constantly being reshaped by all beings involved, both higher-order and lower-order. Beings on higher levels of development certa...
