Philosophical Speculations

https://metakastrup.org/viewtopic.php?t=119 I have now read it. I want to understand it more... Outwardly, if we say "I just haven't been given the proper signs by Divine powers to know I am in the stage where I can proceed and further develop my spiritual capacity", inwardly we feel our ...

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...

Neither of you wanted that... wouldn't you undo the last 24 hours or so of this dialogue if you could? I am not sure that pressing people to take a stance and declare themselves ready or not ready to make the effort to ponder given ideas going forward is valid, or even useful. I understand extreme ...

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.

There is a small chance that my ignorance of history and vicissitudes here, my inability to judge, inability to even comprehend the whole story, can somehow paradoxically help. What is lent to me by trying to sink into the moments of this story is, exhaustion and respite, asking to be seen by every...

... Thanks for sharing Ashvin. I gather from the passage that, at a first level, he is talking of what you would call living experience, correct? But with a specific accent on sensations. There seems to be an ounce of dualism though? When he separates understanding as imagining in a few brain cells...

Thank you, Cleric, for your words and encouragements! I agree with your conclusions, there is only one point left to clarify. We can certainly give examples that can be classified as feelings. For example - gratitude. We can certainly say "I feel grateful". And of course - Love. Here of c...
