Re: What Barfield Thought (Max Leyf and Landon Loftin)

I'm born in Germany and it's very hard for me to read PoF. Steiners use of the language and writing style is very hard to read. There are good books about PoF in German wich can help to make it more understandable. Clerics posts on this forum are very helpful for me too. To be honest, as a native s...

Re: What Barfield Thought (Max Leyf and Landon Loftin)

Is Bernardo still doing those "Ask Me Anything" events online, or on Discord? If he is, then that could be a chance to bring up the book.

Re: What Barfield Thought (Max Leyf and Landon Loftin)

Did Cleric read the original German edition? For my regret - no, as I don't know German. Oh, ok. I will admit I tried to read it in German because I tried to study the language earlier this year (I am interested in languages and other countries), and I became curious about PoF in German. I gave up ...

Re: Prospects for a Phenomenological Idealism

I'm currently working more with pof again, and I wanted to point out that I don't think Pof should really be read like a book by Bermardo kastrup, for example, but rather it's more of a training book for thinking. I also have to say that Pof and Steiner's epistemological writings in general are his...

Re: What Barfield Thought (Max Leyf and Landon Loftin)

And I will add lastly, I have been reading Michael Wilson's translation of Steiner's PoF. I shared a link to it in another thread recently, it was the one speaking about differences between German and English philosophical terminologies (in the introduction). I am finding Wilson's translation much ...

Re: Reincarnation and Analytic Idealism

Thanks, Ashvin. Already it is a challenge, I suppose I had to expect it will be hard because of my past explorations with shadow work and self-transformation. I definitely believe things are turning into a deeper direction. I would like to get in a better routine with my spiritual practice. I haven'...

Re: Reincarnation and Analytic Idealism

Brilliant! Thanks again for the replies, Ashvin and Federica. Both replies contain plenty of helpful information, thanks. By the way, Ashvin, I run into the same habit with watching TV whilst eating food. So what you've suggested to purify this habit sounds like a good step for me. 'Faking' gratitud...

Re: Reincarnation and Analytic Idealism

Thanks for the responses back, Ashvin and Federica. It seems that it would potentially be a very good idea to incorporate some form of expression of gratitude into meditation. Specifically, gratitude towards the higher heirarchies who help make our incarnations possible. Do any of you know any medit...

Re: Reincarnation and Analytic Idealism

Thanks for explaining, Ashvin. I think I get the general idea of what you are saying. Could you maybe give a brief explanation of involution, or tell me if my understanding is accurate? I still feel unsure about the meaning of this term. Is it meant to be saying, in short, that for the evolution of ...
