Re: Idealism of the Eastern Fathers
Yes I think there is definitely something in that. The unicorn idea probably comes from a rhino, maybe as some kind of unconscious cultural ‘memory’. However the cat has it own experience, and there is also something to it which is consistent to everyone else. I can picture in my head an alien with...

Re: Idealism of the Eastern Fathers
I don't know which it is more like, perhaps the latter. I see it as just a statement of idealism: that all that exists is being thought into existence. Maybe I’ll ask the question a different way, what do you see as the difference between the unicorn I’m thinking of, and the cat I’m looking at? Fro...

Schizophrenia, Sin and the Self (Owen Barfield)
Barfield explores the phenomenon of modern mental illness, such as Schizophrenia, and how it reveals a fundamental alienation of the 'self' from the surrounding world and from the true Self in all of human society, with the Schizophrenics being the ones who are most aware of the alienation. Moderns ...

Re: Consciousness, Civilization and Citizenship
I know what mice are... what or who are they are they representing in this analogy? Am I missing something here? I understood that Santeri and Lou were literally referring to mice and mouse traps, and the ethical consideration of how to keep them from setting up house in an actual house, where they...

Re: Consciousness, Civilization and Citizenship
I know what mice are... what or who are they are they representing in this analogy? The analogy belongs to Santeri. I interpreted it as a challenge to my notion that 'kind regard' might solve conflicts. Basically, he likes to stress that there are no rules (including this one), with which I gotta a...

Re: Consciousness, Civilization and Citizenship
I guess I don't need to make anyone spell it out... but was kind of hoping my initial assumptions were wrong. This is exactly what I was referring to on the Jorjani thread when I said, I am convinced that such policies are the inevitable conclusion of 'post-modern' thinking which does not find any t...

Re: Consciousness, Civilization and Citizenship
Who and what exactly who do "mice" and "mouse traps" refer to? Mice are little critters that invade homes. eat food, spread germs and make a mess. Traps are for killing or capture. The conflict is real. In my household we prefer live traps rather than killing ones, which is how ...

Re: Consciousness and Civilization
Ashvin, S"o, again, I'm asserting two paths of development: one in biocentric harmony (Able) and one that will collapse the biome and force the human inhabitant to leave (Cain)." And what if, for the sake of thought experiment, the latter manages to develop technology which restores its b...

Re: Consciousness, Civilization and Citizenship
Advice for less lethal negotiation? Endless practice of RESPECT as a fundamental custom. A culture or a civilization is a habit, a habitual way endlessly projected onto the world. How? Same as with any habit, by practice. I've already cited an example in other threads, an example of being heart-cen...
