Nature of memory and time - Split from "Why do we reincarnate without memories"
Well, I'd say memory is an archive of my previous experiential states, organised in order of their perceived significance or usefulness by some faculty of my mind. Things that had a great emotional impact, for example, will be easy to recall, while the name of a small grocery store I walked by once...

Re: Whirlpool's core/first motion
I think that BK is sincerely trying to do just that: bringing his truth out there, to the secular world. He has quit academia as well as a top job to lead a foundation devoted to spreading the word of idealism outside of the closed circles of academia. He is touching a much larger public than one w...

Re: Whirlpool's core/first motion
... make me wonder whether in your opinion it’s urgent and crucial that others grasp these ideas or not so much so. I realize this is a peripheral and even a personal question. Still, I can't but try to figure out why these ideas are shared the way they are on this forum. If it’s urgent and crucial...

Re: Why I believe Analytic Idealism is flawed
It's not about what BK is consciously proposing, but how his 'objective idealism', with 'dissociated alters', functions for all intents and purposes. As the OP says, it makes the exact same abstraction of materialism-dualism, but in the form of "atomized subject beholding ideas of Big Subject ...

Re: Whirlpool's core/first motion
Now I fully agree that becoming painfully identified with our dream character, chains the spirit to the transient forms, moods, likes, dislikes, beliefs, ideologies. It is of utmost importance to recognize that deep beneath all these layers there's a thinking core which can always find itself to be...

Re: Whirlpool's core/first motion
If we take the limits of the rational intellect very seriously, that Ideas have people and not the other way around, then we also need to question our firm intellectual convictions about various world outlooks and what is the "worst a human being can express". Absolutely. In a sense, your...

Re: Whirlpool's core/first motion
As Jung keenly observed, " People don't have ideas, but Ideas have people. " That is the stage of spritual evolution we are in - we are mostly vehicles for the ideations of higher living forces. This includes all of us, across most dimensions of our thinly conscious, rationalizing existen...

Re: Whirlpool's core/first motion
The criticism is not meant to demean BK's efforts but only to point attention that we need to be vigilant for something. I'm fully aware that most people would say "BK's mission is to simply take the first step - show the inconsistencies of materialism. Others will continue the work further.&q...

Re: The Center of the Central Topic (Part 1)
This is a continuation of our discussion with Mike from here . I wanted to further elaborate on the different ways we can think about thinking. The reply turned out to be quite substantial so I'm posting it as a kind of essay in a new thread. Vowels exercise I often mention the exercise "I thi...

Re: Whirlpool's core/first motion
And for how long should humanity keep strictly separated the world of academic thought and the world of Truth? Who are we serving by keeping these 'good manners' by not disturbing the secular world through the implications of the given facts? This is also why simply trying to prove materialism wron...
