Philosophical Speculations

I strongly suspect that we are on the same page but why call it " spiritual maturity" rather than "experiential maturity", which would mix the spiritual and the material in the humble way of the poem of Mary Oliver? I'm not sure I understand. If you mean ontology when you write ...

Yes, I agree. I had a very interesting experience in Brazil of being immersed, as a non-Portuguese speaker, in a spiritual practice heavily dependent on music where I would be drawn musically deep into its essential heartfelt doctrine but later, with translation of the lyrics, be diverted into a bu...

Shu, Yup, I know the model and don't feel satisfied by it. In my view, we are natural beings embedded in nature and, while there are costs and benefits associated with all movement, no moves are 'unnatural'. So-called 'disruption' is simply related to the fact that creativity is both constructive a...

(hence the joke. "God is dead"(Nietzsche, 1983), "Nietzsche is dead"(God, 1900))

Thank you :). It’s not really how I intended it, but maybe useful just to see what doesn’t resonate if nothing else. The diagram you drew reminds me of Schopenhauer's method. God forbid I do not accuse you of thinking like him. All I am saying is that in his method the will expresses the original u...

E sounds like dual aspect monism, Like Spinoza's. (extension and mind are 2 attributes of the infinite substance we can cognize). I do not think it's Panpsychism. The latter is the view that consciousness is a property of matter Unfortunately I am not a philosopher. I'm sure there are people here wh...
