Philosophical Speculations

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...

Ashwin did not approve of my restatement of Anthroposophy - and I did not understand his correct restatement of Anthroposophy at all - so I have to pass on this thread.
In fact, I have to pass on this entire forum as it makes zero sense to me.

You could make a case for the advantage or necessity of archetypical beings in an explanation of karma, technically it's not my duty to argue in opposition since it's your claim. :) Then maybe you can make a case about the nature of mindless/mechanical processes (because this is not as self-evident...

How do we learned the concepts which structure our thinking live, and which we take for granted like Truth, love, energy, wisdom, forgiveness...... ? I can't remember the learning process, and I don't know if it is possible to remember this childhood memory's, but empirically it could be experience...

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...

Karma as a mindless mechanical force is simpler, more rational and intuitive. For example, if I throw a ball against a wall, or break balls in billiards, I don't see any advantage in believing the resulting motions involve the insight of an archetypical being. An argument could be made that karma h...
