Philosophical Speculations

I am asking that, because I can very well understand such soul-position. If this is accurate, is it explorable, and what would it take, to start a careful and reasonable grieving of this view, in full respect of all traditions, until one can let go of what I would provocatively call (after full ree...

I have a sense that, no matter what I write, the thought will be this - "why is Ashvin being so argumentative, instead of just taking the olive branch I have offered that some non-dual paths have problems but others don't and are aligned with the pursuit of spiritual science?" I don't kno...

Now the questions here are, do Spira or similar teachers also reach the stage of seeing exactly within the spirit worlds like the physicist documents a particle track in a cloud chamber?

It would be interesting, Eugene, to hear something about your take or approach to Steiner's path that you said have started exploring? From which side have you approached it? I'm reading Steiner's "The Stages of Higher Knowledge" and here is one observation. The thesis that Steiner's para...

We are all travelling along different paths adhering to different paradigms, approaches and views of the landscape of reality, and our descriptions of the landscape are often so different that we often just talk over e...

Eugene, I’m happy you are back, and I hope that your future participation will be denser than you foresee today. Browsing the forum, I’ve come across some of those old debates. For me they have been, and still are, an invaluable resource to approach the key topics, explore them in depth from all an...

Thanks Cleric, very inspiring.

Lou, I also want to express my gratitude to you as you showed me the way to the Divine Mother, and it was She who helped me with my transformation and healing.

As Cleric said, I am not quoting this to nitpick your model, but to point towards a shared mindset most modern people have when investigating these questions. After all the discussion on this thread, I am sure you would agree "resolve" was not the right word to use in the above list. In n...
