Philosophical Speculations

Neither of you wanted that... wouldn't you undo the last 24 hours or so of this dialogue if you could? I am not sure that pressing people to take a stance and declare themselves ready or not ready to make the effort to ponder given ideas going forward is valid, or even useful. I understand extreme ...

So I agree it's better you pursue the path you truly desire for now. Ditto that ... so likewise pursue away to your heart's desire. Not sure why it is you imagine I must feel resentment. Seems a projection, as I feel no resentment whatsoever, not even towards one's rapist. What I'm compelled by is ...

And, as Cleric tried to illustrate, this desire to avoid active seeking or lack of desire to actively seek (depending on how you look at it) also makes it near impossible for the words I am writing now to make any sense to you. I will simply quote Steiner again and ask that you read him as carefull...

Actually, as the mod, I could undo it But no, I would not. It's all quite valid and instructive, IMO. I love that Ashvin is able to challenge me so eloquently. Not taken personally here.

I'd like to think I am growing and evolving from my Maya dream character identification as well, in ways completely unsuspected even a few months ago. Inner desires and intentions determine what we can perceive and conceive (if we understand idealism seriously), and since I now know you have no des...

If nothing else, this suggested topic gives us a measurement of where the participation level of the forum is at, and how many members out of 318 are still paying some occasional attention, if only as silent lurkers. In 7 weeks, zero replies and 32 views, average less than one per day. The audience ...

Perhaps my initial comment had too much an exasperated tone, but it also had substance relating to these cautions. Knowing what I know now about your interests or lack of them, I never would have responded. Whatever it may take to get folks to start taking communing with angels seriously, it seems ...

Anyone reading this can ask this question of themselves. I don't even expect anyone to share it here. It's enough to ask yourself or the wise powers, pray or meditate on it a bit, see what comes back, and confront it honestly. I feel it's possible to commune with beings of 'higher' realms—spirit gu...

It's quite simple - I'm asking if your Daemon has inspired any spiritual knowledge which can be shared with others, rather than hoarded to oneself. Does it even motivate you to share such knowledge? Of course this knowledge can't be captured by 'transcribed words', but you can't even make an effort...

Well, the point was simple enough, although the last few posts got more heated than necessary. I can put that into a picture. In our age we begin our life mostly as in a dark cave, not knowing up from down. Many people coming here do so because of certain inner event similar to that of Shu, which i...
