Philosophical Speculations

Now of course it can be argued that human creatures are a different case, because they have free will, and thus can resist any given stage-specific work, such that, even as it may be do-or-die, they can choose to die, or at least languish their lives away, avoiding their destiny. However, given the...

Alright, Cleric. I will go to your last post. Yes, you are getting nearer. I can imagine you already wrote about this second topic here on the forum. If so I could maybe read there to start with? Now on second thought, in case I'm getting nearer, I think it will be more appropriate to tackle this c...

Hi Cleric. Yes, even after careful reading of your other essay - the one with the fractal triangle - I am still not sure how it’s clear to you and Ashvin that the verbal exoskeleton you have built actually fits my intuitions. As it seems, I need to work more on calibrating the orthopedic braces. So...

Well, I see a clear difference between thinking and willing (as it’s called here) on one hand, and feeling on the other. What I am trying to say is that love, gratitude, seem to be part of the fabric of the universe, like an omnipresent grace. In our most ideal state we should be constantly able to...

Well, the point was simple enough, although the last few posts got more heated than necessary. I can put that into a picture. In our age we begin our life mostly as in a dark cave, not knowing up from down. Many people coming here do so because of certain inner event similar to that of Shu, which im...

The challenge then becomes how to re-know that ever-present dynamic, and with those required lessons of incarnation acquired, leverage it to our collective benefit in the creative evolutionary play of Lila. How? By following the contradictions . To use the Matrix metaphor again - Neo in the first p...

It consists of creating 'poetry', that being the teaching from the Oversoul. Never felt any need for some intellectual analysis or deconstruction. No advice was sought or taken. No concerns about ruination. Should I have? I admit, I don't remember a more difficult post than this from my experience ...

What I was trying to convey—notwithstanding the shared dream from which such inspiration flows—is that I'm not seeing how the mistaken attempts, being pretty much inevitable, are not crucial and integral lessons, or can ruin the calling of becoming this version of the analogous 'poet' of the spirit...

Does this mean that if in a week I have an exam, I can rest assured that if it was meant to be I cannot avoid success even if I forcefully try to fail (that is, not study at all)? In this sense, is it possible for one to exercise (or fail to exercise) their freedom in such a way that they actually ...

Well Jane passed on quite young, so who knows what further insights and practices might have been offered, had the relationship carried on. She certainly did not seem satisfied that there were no further steps. What is the next step? As mentioned earlier, my take is that everyone is where they're a...
