Philosophical Speculations

This could go in the Art-forms section, but perhaps warrants some discussion here, on the power of story-making ... I saw this movie (without ever reading the books), and without giving anything away, it fits the esoteric, archetypal Christ involutionary-evolutionary journey to a "T". It ...

Anil starts by presupposing a material base, therefore what he genuinely sees as solutions won't actual address the real issues. That said, Steiner would write long glowing missives about people's ideas that we steeped in materialism. He wouldn't even necessarily spell out the deep problems with th...

Anyway, seems like we can put most of that aside as well and just play it by ear. Outside of my serious differences of opinion when it comes to percepts and concepts, there is still much fascinating ground to cover when it comes to Barfield and Steiner. I'd propose we could still use this space to ...

Brilliant all round! Thank you, Ashvin! The "laminal space" concept is very useful and very well illustrated in your examples! Keep them rolling! Hi Ashvin, Captivating as ever, thanks. Thanks, Cleric and PZ! I just came across "liminal space" when researching perceptual limits ...

But the question that my existential angst is yearning for an answer for is whether or not we have a contiguity of meta consciousness, that is to say something that satisfies the criteria of 'inheritance', (my chosen answer to the Shi...

Coexistence as a reality of the form and the formless expressed itself slowly as evolution progressed. In the material world there was just nois...

Bravo on all the time, effort and vigorous thought that went into this fascinating essay! FB - thank you, especially for reading it! I know we have been at each other's throats, so to speak, since the Steiner-Schop thread. It's safe to say I grew very frustrated with your approach and you with mine...
