Re: Symphony
Probably we should first be clear what is meant by 'language'. We are not necessarily speaking of the visual and audial perception of isolated words (which also have spiritual significance), but the living idea that gives logical structure to the language as a temporally extended organism. Basicall...

Re: Symphony
I think the statement in that article is a presupposition (that language shapes perception) and not at all an evidence emerging from the study (by the way, the linked study does not report any of the visual tests given in the article). To state that they don't see the one blue tile among the series...

Re: Anthroposophy for Dummies
Don't you get tired of this inner stance of constant suspicion and mistrustfulness, Federica? It is getting to the point where I can't even make a comment to you anymore without some ulterior motives being imputed. Even if that's how you feel inwardly, can't you make some effort to resist bringing ...

Re: Anthroposophy for Dummies
:P :P :P :P :P :P :P I think your previous post is clear enough, Maybe you can point to the place where I said "Matt Segall doesn't know anything about spiritual science and shouldn't be trusted". I'll wait :) In fact, I made sure to conclude the post with - " That being said, I have...

Re: Anthroposophy for Dummies
Ashvin, You surely have your reasons to think so about Matt Segall. I don't know him well either and I'm certainly not here to defend him. I can say that I came to know his work through this short, 6 year-old video on the Gothean approach to phenomena, that seemed quite good to me. His interest in ...

Re: Symphony
I think that, even if this path is accessible in principle to anyone, there might be degrees of ability to open up to the phenomenological approach. In my case I feel both resistance and a lack a spiritual fit, so to say. But I'm sure there's still something I can do, even if I can't make progress ...

Re: Anthroposophy for Dummies
To whomever may be interested in live discussions of Anthroposophy through Steiner's books, one by one, I've come across this study group, and they have just started a cycle on An Outline of Occult Science: Thanks for sharing. I would just mention a word of caution with respect to the channel in ge...

Re: Symphony
So there's no real-time awareness of the meaning of the Phonograph metaphor for me, as I walk down the street, or do everyday work. If I want to recall that meaning - with effort - I have to pause and detach from the sensory spectrum. This is what is missing. Not that I don't get how it makes sense...
