Philosophical Speculations

As the discussion on the other thread is centered on understanding what Christ promised and prophesied in a way that has practical relevance for the course of Earthly evolution and our individual lives, and that is not "hopelessly abstract, remote, floating in the air", I would like to qu...

When multiple people specifically suggest a messaging is toxic, or people flee a messaging - instead of pointing fingers at the suggestions, perhaps the messengers should inspect their presentation and manner. I wonder if it's the presentation and manner so much as the idea being presented (as unde...

I could go on and cover the whole theological landscape with the various points of divergence. But that should suffice for now. To add something to what Cleric wrote, imagine you are promised by the manager of a tutoring agency - "I will be sending a tutor to your home, he will live in your ho...

From here, either something extraordinary is about to happen (I have seen that someone has just been visiting the essay link) or a final rebuttal comment is about to be dropped :) I joined in with a comment as well: Marco, when Federica refers to the vertical path to dealing with these environmenta...

I will soon read Steiner's Human Life in the Light of Spiritual Science . He gives it as a short manual for practical communication of spiritual science.
