Philosophical Speculations

I think it's dangerous to conceive of philosophy as a tool - you are again conceiving your thinking activity as a tool, operated from outside the tool, but never mind. Philosophy is a specific way of thinking activity, and there are other ways. When we become skillful in exercising our thinking abi...

Naturally there's not much of a concrete, actual *way* in recommending to "experientially realize the reality of the spiritual activity of the egoless Aware-Thinking-Feeling (ATF) as the source behind the world of our thoughts, feelings and perceptions". So how do you go from this stateme...

Not that I have any illusion this will influence your view, but it should be mentioned how surreptitiously you have thrown out the "I" who is throwing the ball, breaking the billiard balls, and so forth. This is the 'coherent center' mentioned on the other thread, which is not another 'ba...

Re the above 'nonsense phrases' - my experience is that your (and Ashwin) explanations require even more nonsense

I have no qualms regarding karma as a force, sufficiently confusing and complex enough without adding archetypal beings as managers. MAL has nothing to do with karma or morality -karma and morality lie within the field of action. Yes, Lorenzo, your position is quite established and you have affirme...

I can't respond to the story because I can't respond to Steiner's particular explanation as a 'truth'. Re your questions I don't see any issues with 'non-local' and etc. in an infinite field of consciousness. However, I fail to see how the addition of archetypical beings answers your questions - ev...
