Philosophical Speculations

When you refer to interactions with Eugene, I presume you mean when he says that spiritual science, if it is valid, should explain why the sense-world "obeys the Schrodinger equations". No, I didn't have this in mind although I must admit I'm looking forward to Cleric's essay on the Schro...

Hi Anthony, I'll take a stab at answering your most recent question. Firstly, thanks for your considered input so far. It really has been a service. If someone were to answer your question definitively and with specifics, I'd be inclined to take that as strong evidence against whatever else they we...

Ashvin, Thank you again for all your responses so far. We've reached number 10! 10. The nature of the "Time-Consciousness Spectrum" as explained in this essay by Cleric - https://metakastrup.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=509 I actually think I grasp the essence of this one. It has a flavor o...

We're nearly there! The question is whether I'll join team Steiner at the end of all this or join the ranks of Eugene and his fellow mystics. :twisted: 9. The tendency of abstract intellect to be possessed by these forces and therefore ignore the need to develop higher Spiritual activity by reducin...

Ashvin, Just briefly in response to your last post, the single/multiple streams is indeed a massive topic and is something I intend to explore in some depth going forward. Christopher Bache's book, "LSD and the Mind of the Universe: Diamonds from Heaven" had quite an impact on me. I'm not ...

7. The role of collective subconscious forces which drive human spiritual evolution (and therefore all cultural transformations). We are in the home straight of fleshing out a few details of your original list! I actually feel I'm starting to grok Anthroposophy at a basic level and I thank you for ...

In your last response, you quoted Steiner where he offers a symbolic depiction of the unified configuration of reality. This parallels the blind men trying to describe the elephant analogy. The problem evident is that while reality may well be unified, the perspective of the individual appears const...

We've hit the halfway mark! 5. The role of imaginative cognition, i.e. "image-consciousness" which is reflected in all mythology and aesthetics, as applied to our current perception-cognition of the world. I've read the last few of your essays and I think I have a reasonable handle on this...

Ashvin, I wish there was some form of thumbs up mechanism I could use to let you know I have read your prior responses. Be assured I have and I thank you again for them. Note, it is not my intention at this stage to provide any significant push back - I'm in an understanding phase. I think the next ...
