Re: Symbolic thinking, Anthroposophy and Transhumanism
Regarding the right conception of karma, I admit it challenges my understanding. Because I can’t see the symmetry. And how chance and causality can be randomly mixed in karmic events. And I struggle to see what a future compensation for undeserved suffering even means. What it might consist of for ...

Re: Symbolic thinking, Anthroposophy and Transhumanism
In response to these illnesses-accidents that are not directly generated by inner habits, but enter our reality from outside, so to say, we should maybe venture into less proximate layers of being, as if maintaining a large front of intents, where we aspire to become ‘polymaths’ of the fight agains...

Re: Symbolic thinking, Anthroposophy and Transhumanism
Ashvin, I also skip through Gabriel’s videos by now. For my part, I believe he is being influenced and pushed in the direction of trying to package and market his experience (that I only partially understand as Anthroposophical) in ways that flirt with catastrophism and with inciting feelings of fe...

Re: GA 13 - Rudolf Steiner's "Secret Science in Outline"
And the other way round, I guess we can say we are still a mirror, in our soul consciousness, for the higher beings who reflect their ideal activity in our 'lifeless' intellectual thoughts (for a still predominant part). And, imbued by this powerful force of thinking, we have a chance to start evol...

Re: Steiner and Schrodinger's Equation
Think how unintuitive from a classical perspective this is. Imagine that you’re going to the mall. You can go through the park or through the city square. You choose the former. You arrive at the mall and spontaneously decide to go to the store on the right to buy a new dress. Now most people would...

Re: Symbolic thinking, Anthroposophy and Transhumanism
Hi Ashvin, Thanks for clarifying your point in the above two posts. I definitely understand and agree with the expansive support and reflective potential enclosed in scientific conceptions, which, as you say, is exemplified, for instance, in the numerous mathematical and scientific analogies Cleric...

Re: Symbolic thinking, Anthroposophy and Transhumanism
I agree with the overall spirit of your post, but I want to clarify what I meant by 'expanding our states'. A simple question we can ask is, what can't we do now that we could do previously? Does modern technology make it impossible for us to explore more spiritual states of being or does it actual...

Re: Symbolic thinking, Anthroposophy and Transhumanism
To start with, I would attract attention to the fact that modern technology, rather than a way of expanding our states, is a way of altering them. It restricts them just as much as (if not more than) it expands them. Of course, these states are not only perceptual in the sense of sensory-like, but ...

Re: GA 13 - Rudolf Steiner's "Secret Science in Outline"
Regarding the scenes from Holy Week - Yes! I am following them closely and appreciating them very much. Actually, I have prioritized these guided reflections over all else this week, and I'm trying to start from these scenes to improve my very poor knowledge of the Christ events (intellectually, bu...

Re: GA 13 - Rudolf Steiner's "Secret Science in Outline"
Yes, I surely recognize all this. Obviously a lacking experimentation is at the foundation of many struggles, which is absolutely my case. It's my current struggle to reconcile an increasing involvement with everyday life - more work, tasks, preoccupations, etc. - with keeping up the most important...
