Philosophical Speculations

I don't have much knowledge of the Law of One except a few brief skims of what I could find online. Once you get into Steiner's work, it would definitely be interesting to hear how you think it compares or where you think the differences may reside. It is interesting that Steiner often mentions how...

And I will add lastly, I have been reading Michael Wilson's translation of Steiner's PoF. I shared a link to it in another thread recently, it was the one speaking about differences between German and English philosophical terminologies (in the introduction). I am finding Wilson's translation much e...

Oo, very cool to know that Bernardo read Barfield's book! Maybe he will read Steiner's Philosophy of Freedom at some point? He has read Barfield so he probably heard of Steiner's work. Or maybe he will read Jean Gebser's book? But who knows. P.S. I know I've not posted for a while. I've just been bu...

Federica, I think my confusion was cleared up when I had a re-think about what you and Ashvin said regarding the nature of time. But I will still try discussing further. Rudolf Steiner's book Theosophy came to mind. He said in the spiritual world things are positioned together or attracted together ...

In the spiritual world there are only thoughts, which is the same as to say: there are only beings, as opposed to bei...

Hi Luke, That is reconciled when we remember that ideational activity is also the source of better technology. It is the rational consciousness that can most efficiently tease apart the various components of the Whole and reconfigure those components into new relationships, while the magical-mythic...

Thank you Federica and Ashvin for your thoughtful and lucid responses. The discussion in here keeps getting more interesting. Ashvin and Federica, are you trying to suggest that the past, present, and future can be understood as 3 perspectives which occur in the Now, Instead of merely being a flow f...

Ok thank you Ashvin and Federica for the detailed and excellent responses. That clarified everything now.

When I say bad habits like fitting new ideas with old ones I mean that sometimes it doesn't work. As in, those situations when what is doesn't fit in with the concepts and models built up in the mind; the way we have thought about things becomes too limited and it is easier to just declare something...
