Thank you, no worries! Not to diminish my appreciation for this benevolent post, I’ll for now refrain from asking about the new insights here. I will admit that in my case work is being quite busy at the moment on the other thread and tracing back : )

Re: Nature of memory and time - Split from "Why do we reincarnate without memories"
I will let Cleric address the issues around the asymmetry of W-F-T and your last paragraph. But we should really appreciate how, the moment we relegate Logic to abstraction or postulate, we are back to dualism - to a realm where Logic is essential to adaptive behavior and survival (the sensory worl...

Re: Whirlpool's core/first motion
I wonder if we can refocus on what really matters here and pick up the discussion there, with whatever further thoughts or questions you may have? Ashvin, In fact what's just happened on the other thread, where you and Cleric said ‘how strange you don’t realize your point is ultimately in line with...

Re: Nature of memory and time - Split from "Why do we reincarnate without memories"
You picked a difficult essay here, Federica! I wanted to point to another recent post by Cleric which also explores the nature of Time-experience from another angle, which was also easier for me to wrap my head around. https://metakastrup.org/viewtopic.php?p=17151#p17151 Also a couple preliminary p...

Nature of memory and time - Split from "Why do we reincarnate without memories"
Well, I'd say memory is an archive of my previous experiential states, organised in order of their perceived significance or usefulness by some faculty of my mind. Things that had a great emotional impact, for example, will be easy to recall, while the name of a small grocery store I walked by once...

Re: Whirlpool's core/first motion
I think that BK is sincerely trying to do just that: bringing his truth out there, to the secular world. He has quit academia as well as a top job to lead a foundation devoted to spreading the word of idealism outside of the closed circles of academia. He is touching a much larger public than one w...

Re: Whirlpool's core/first motion
... make me wonder whether in your opinion it’s urgent and crucial that others grasp these ideas or not so much so. I realize this is a peripheral and even a personal question. Still, I can't but try to figure out why these ideas are shared the way they are on this forum. If it’s urgent and crucial...

Re: Why I believe Analytic Idealism is flawed
It's not about what BK is consciously proposing, but how his 'objective idealism', with 'dissociated alters', functions for all intents and purposes. As the OP says, it makes the exact same abstraction of materialism-dualism, but in the form of "atomized subject beholding ideas of Big Subject ...

Re: Whirlpool's core/first motion
Now I fully agree that becoming painfully identified with our dream character, chains the spirit to the transient forms, moods, likes, dislikes, beliefs, ideologies. It is of utmost importance to recognize that deep beneath all these layers there's a thinking core which can always find itself to be...

Re: Whirlpool's core/first motion
If we take the limits of the rational intellect very seriously, that Ideas have people and not the other way around, then we also need to question our firm intellectual convictions about various world outlooks and what is the "worst a human being can express". Absolutely. In a sense, your...
