Re: Rupert Spira on perception and dimensions
"What we see as the universe is a reification and objectification of the limitations of our own mind".
It is therefore both entirely subjective and yet mediated by something 'out there'. Thousands of years of philosophical speculation resolved in one sentence.

Rupert Spira on perception and dimensions
Something clicked very strongly for me when I heard this new clip of Rupert discussing perceptions and dimensions.
Even if idealism is bullshit, even just temporarily and voluntarily entertaining that view brings great joy and wonder.

Re: What is the difference between Mind and Spirit?
It’s a shame that these terms get conflated as in the ancient world they had specific meanings. Spirit is the all encompassing essence, which is impossible to communicate (it is that which knows communication itself, and is a totality so one cannot be outside of it to communicate it). However what w...

Re: The nature of 'relations' in Mind at Large
I pour one chemical into another chemical and watch the massive changes that result. Within BK's model, we take each chemical to be a partial image of the one experience that is the Cosmos as a whole. So we have two partial images of the one experience that the Universe is undergoing. We have names...

Re: Formlessness><form as the uncaused, irreducible ontic fundamental
Beautifully expressed. But a bit wordy. Now what we need is some kind of symbol - perhaps an interlocking vertical and horizontal axis to represent the integration of those world views. The vertical is the ontic primary, so we could make that slightly longer. If the axis was metaphorically some kin...

Re: Formlessness><form as the uncaused, irreducible ontic fundamental
A summary from my side: There are two limited perspectives and one all-encompassing perspective on the reality. Limited perspective #1 is to only know the forms and disregard the formless aspect of reality, in which case we get lost in the world of forms taking them as the only reality there is. Si...

Re: Existence without space or time
Wonderful way of picturing it thank you. My chosen metaphor is Nucleic Acid. All of the information of the complete being is stored in potential in the DNA, but can only be sequenced and expressed one chain at a time by an 'external' device which we call RNA. It turns out that RNA is 'made' by DNA i...

Re: Question about Kastrup's perspective on Freewill
After listening to quite a few interviews with Kastrup, I'm still having some difficulty understanding his take on freewill. Perhaps someone could clarify this more.. In BK's recent interview with ZDoggMD, it sounds like he rejects the notion of freewill in its strong sense (i.e., the ability to do...
