Re: Speculation About the Discovery of Ideal Forms
More on the query about the correlation between light and Consciousness, as expressed by Paul Brunton ... Brunton’s experiences with Ramana as detailed in A Search in Secret India culminated with an episode of mystical absorption under Maharshi’s influence in which he was drawn into the heart and ex...

Re: Speculation About the Discovery of Ideal Forms
One is also reminded here of the Tao Te Ching premise that the names that can be named are not the eternal names ... so just what is meant by an eternal 'name'?

Re: Speculation About the Discovery of Ideal Forms
I asked this question elsewhere, but it didn't get any traction ... Under idealism, what do we make of the idea of the cosmological constancy of the speed of light, being not provisional, but constant under all circumstances.
