Philosophical Speculations

I finally decided to add this as a comment to the geoengineering essay : "Marco, supposing there’s agreement that, from the perspective of a post-material worldview, reality at its core is of ideal nature, and the material world - including the climatic events Earth manifests in time - is the ...

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. As I understand it, it's about how the many can integrate spiritual science in everyday life, in a concrete way, before any level higher cognitio...

Regarding the latest Urphänomen discussion - the seventh - on Steiner's Secret Science, I notice that Matt Segall (towards the end of minute 25) asks, speaking of Saturn (from the transcript): "..and just another thing to note about the strange inversion here this isn't the evolutionary process...

Regarding the supposed formulaic content of your posts, for what it's worth, my feedback is, this is in general not at all how I perceive it. I do find a consistent experiential character in your comments, though they are consistently different in nature from Cleric's and others', despite often tre...
