Re: The Ecology of Freedom
I know I just wrote a post elsewhere that I never bring up Steiner first... BUT, I just came across this tweet from Matt Segall and it seems too relevant here to pass up sharing. As usual, Steiner takes a spiritual evolutionary understanding and integrates it with sociocultural dynamics. We have a h...

Re: Finding My Monkey
Life is short. We have to find those thinkers that we connect to even if we don't agree with them completely. Agreed and could we also agree to have at least a number of posts which do not mention Rudolph Steiner? I'd be interested in your response to my earlier post where I gave you my answer to y...

Re: Practicing Dance Moves in the Shadows
"Does anyone know if Steiner actually slept?" You are going to hate/scold/doubt me for this, but I feel it is at least okay in this dancing of shadow's context: There is an account from somebody who knew Steiner personally that Steiner had mentioned teaching this person a meditation that ...

Re: Atheism, the Bible and Doubt
I am not an atheist, nor even an agnostic. Keep that in mind, because I am not saying that the Bible promotes atheism. Quite the opposite of course—but there is a passage in the Bible that helps us Jews and Christians to understand why some people are atheist/agnostic, and why we cannot persuade th...

Re: Exercise Time (Thinking)
Ashvin, No need to do any of this on my behalf anymore. I've found what I needed from here in terms of imaginative exercises (and forgot to catalogue them for others, next iteration I'll do that). In terms of bus stops and busy streets, I'm finding little nuggets here that can be kept in mind witho...

Re: For the Goethe Curious
Thanks Dana, I will check it out tonight and try to post some feedback. I have been looking at some more Goethe Wisdom for an essay, and it's just endlessly enjoyable to contemplate his poetry, aphorisms, science, etc. So around 13 min., we come to Sattler's claim that Steiner did not really percei...

Re: Depiction, Objective and Subjective
This is really great feedback and I agree, thanks. “Unconscious” is a bit of a misnomer anyway. Do you have any book recommendations for this? I do, but, since you are already familiar with BK idealist framework, I think it would be best for you to check out Cleric's essay on this forum - Beyond th...

Re: Practicing Dance Moves in the Shadows
Now, look, I have no doubt that many people who respect Steiner believe that they have empirical evidence that validates his claims. But before I point out what might be somewhat problematic with such a methodology, I wonder if anybody knows which lecture this was specifically. My hunch is that it ...

Re: Practicing Dance Moves in the Shadows
I said "practicing", friends! Anyway, what I know about Soul is that he's super smart and great at managing this site. I know I sometimes annoy him. And I actually feel bad I don't remember which lectures specifically were the ones to the French dudes. I'll see if a google search can help...

Re: Practicing Dance Moves in the Shadows
Soul said: "I do have to wonder about why you resort to all these cryptic references. First we have those unprovided, unspecified points that Steiner told with French physicists. Then the mention of twin psychics who shall remain nameless, even though there's a good chance we know who they are...
