Philosophical Speculations

What would be your suggestions in this domain? Ashvin, I will wait until tomorrow to post my reply. In the meantime, on the topic of the noble scientific impulses of the first scientists versus what the worldwide reality of academic research has become in the present day - through interference with...

As Ashvin hints, I feel that the main trouble today is that the depth aspect of existence is simply inconceivable for most. And the greatest trouble is that people can't even realize that there's something to be conceived. It's as if the inner soul layers exercise magnetic repulsion and throw the co...

On this forum we have often used the QM analogy of 'wavefunctions' of holistic spiritual intents which constructively or destructively interfere through our (mostly instinctive) spiritual activity, thereby manifesting states of the intuitive potential in our stream of becoming or those states remai...

Another relevant material: The Elephant and the Blind: The Experience of Pure Consciousness: Philosophy, Science, and 500+ Experiential Reports Thanks Eugene, On one hand, it is a symptom of the times, how we can already speak in imaginative ways about our inner experiences. Today it takes very lit...

Thank you Cleric. I have to admit, I'm not able to distinguish physicality as you describe it here from the rest of spiritual experience.

Ok, I understand in broad outlines. From your initial post I had received the impression that this work was achievable here and now (the Kingdom is at hand). But In the context of the whole solar evolution, it's less difficult to picture this progressive work. I am still not clear what the physical...

Cleric, I was wondering why Symphony of Minds is not included in the list at the link. I am searching, but not finding the reason :?: Sorry for the delay, Well, I haven't thought about it. SoM was a kind of probing ground, I didn't look upon it as something that should fit in the sequence. But if y...

Now coming to animals: To attribute memory to animals is an error still easier to fall into than the mistake of ascribing consciousness to plants. It is natural enough to think of memory when a dog recognizes its master, whom it may not have seen for some time past. Yet in reality the recognition d...

When we think in this way, about, say, Old Saturn as a spiritual fact, in flexible, spiritual concepts, we are not loosening the bodily context, we are not concentrating, but we are still liberating our thinking-will from the limits of the physical brain, right? Yes, and that's why I believe even s...
