Re: Seflf-causality of the reality of consciousness.
Lou, I also want to express my gratitude to you as you showed me the way to the Divine Mother, and it was She who helped me with my transformation and healing.

Re: Seflf-causality of the reality of consciousness.
As Cleric said, I am not quoting this to nitpick your model, but to point towards a shared mindset most modern people have when investigating these questions. After all the discussion on this thread, I am sure you would agree "resolve" was not the right word to use in the above list. In n...

Re: Self-causality of the reality of consciousness.
Echoing today’s remark by Cleric about the tenor of my comments to Stranger’s theory - tenor that clearly pertains to my comments only - I admit that I have written them from a place of irritation that, beyond being inappropriate to fruitful dialogue in general, has inevitably biased my viewpoint a...

Re: Seflf-causality of the reality of consciousness.
Other than that, I hope you don’t find the discussion following your initial post, as a rude welcome to the forum, as if your effort is demeaned. In fact, the topics that you bring up are precisely the kind that can lead further and further. Most other less fruitful topics of the kind “What is alte...

Re: Seflf-causality of the reality of consciousness.
There is no point at which any being can look out and say the higher beings of the holarchy decided to stop existing and start the process over again. I am wondering if, assuming that also aligns with your intuition, that has any implications for the conclusions of the model? I think the model alig...

Re: Seflf-causality of the reality of consciousness.
We all already have that intuition, if it's the way things are. The question is how we do by make this intuition more conscious so that we can begin to 'grasp' it? Does the metaphysical modeling contribute anything to that goal or, actually, work counter-productively to that goal? That is what Cler...

Re: Seflf-causality of the reality of consciousness.
Then it inevitably runs into the limits of its own conceptual activity, thereby creating irresolvable theoretical conundrums such as you stated above. MAL purposefully embeds a telos, but also doesn't know why it embedded the telos. How can we reconcile these two without lapsing into the idolatry o...

Re: Seflf-causality of the reality of consciousness.
But notice in my description/model, "God" as any spiritual being(s) who we can relate to with our "I"-sense, with what you may refer to as Platonic ideation, don't exist. Isn't this a major difference than with your model and many traditional spiritual understandings? Yet the lo...

Re: Seflf-causality of the reality of consciousness.
Even though this sounds very abstract, it makes an important point. Our metaphysical habits always make us imagine how the universe began. For example, it is almost taken for granted in BK’s scheme that MAL decided and dissociated into alters. One can’t help but imagine that the whole MAL existed i...
