Dirac Delta Function Meditation

[Federica]

Oh man... I've not said/meant the following at all: "that we deny the collapsed world by seeking the experience of its Source". That's not what my post was about. Instead, it was specifically about the particular attitude of attempting to find the unity OMA speaks of, not within the principles, but within the level of decohered facts, an attitude which ends up dangerously bordering with the statement that everything and its opposite are equally true, in the decohered state. Steiner and VT are saying opposite things about the Church but they are actually saying the same, and similar attempts to always reconcile things in the realm of decohered things.

OK, got it. Thought we were speaking about the DDFM and that it takes us away from concreteness into 'pure potentiality'.

I should have been more explicit! Thank you for your careful reply still, Cleric.

I'd like to share a Facebook post from the Anthroposophy page here. The post itself is about how the distinct modes of engagement between the AI engines of GPT and Grok are felt from the author's perspective, which is interesting, but I am sharing it here simply because of the fantastic animated graphic attached. When we imbue our intuitive context with the imaginative meaning explored in this Dirac post, such a graphic can itself become a rich symbol for meditation. The grid-patterned cone of the now self, for example, can represent our inherited karmic 'interference pattern' of species, gender, race, nationality, temperament, beliefs, and so on. This karmic flow is continually meeting the brown wavy lines of potential experiences, insights, and skills raying forth from our Future Self. Through our conscious inner development, exemplified by our present state of contemplation on the graphic (imbued with the context of our now self offering itself for contemplation of the Future Self), the two streams begin to coincide more and more.

Ashvin, is it possible to somehow share the graphic separately? I don't use fb and it wants me to join the group.

Same here. I have a FB account, but without being a member of the group it doesn't work.

I was trying to figure that out, but it doesn't seem possible. It is the author's personal creation, so I couldn't find it anywhere else. I shared this post with him in the comments section, and he responded with the following picture and comment. The graphic is basically an animation of what is drawn in the picture, where the now self and Future Self approach each other and embrace. I can't read the Greek (?) text, unfortunately.

I will probably respond to indicate the post is not as 'complex' and 'philosophical' as he imagines, and coincides also with his intuitive process rendered into symbolic images and conceptual reasoning. Let's see where that goes

"Ashvin, thank you for your reflection.
The meditation you shared is incredibly deep , almost too deep to process all at once.
To be honest, I don’t live primarily inside philosophical structures.
My path is much more intuitive, almost irrational , built not through concepts but through images and synchronicities.
I move through symbols rather than theories.
This is why your text strikes me as complex, I approach these things differently.
For me, it all happens more like an unconscious navigation , a series of inner images that appear on the way, almost like signals in the dark.
There are no rules for how to walk this path; you just keep moving by sensation, by intuition.
This particular image arose like that.
I was walking through the park in a meditative state, trying to train my perception , noticing what pulls me upward, what pulls me downward.
Then this wall appeared, and suddenly I saw myself from the future.
It was a strange moment, I looked at my present self from that future perspective and did not recognise myself.
At the same time, my present self wondered who I might become if I continue transforming as intensely as I have during the last three years.
And in that moment, a subtle feeling of pride appeared , almost like the ego wanting to identify with this ‘stronger future self’.
But I immediately quieted that impulse.
It wasn’t about pride.
It was simply an emotional flash, something non-rational and impossible to explain logically.
This image , the wall, the movement, the two selves
was just the only way I could express that inner moment visually.
It wasn’t born from philosophy; it came from intuition, synchronicity, and an inner experience that I can only describe through metaphor."

Right, and if either of you feel like joining the group at some point, I was somehow made into an admin and can admit you

Although I throw a lot of flack at such groups and the way most members approach spiritual science, which I think is justified based on my observations, I still find it helpful to peruse the posts from time to time. Once in awhile, I come across insightful posts like Anthony's and Martin's, or a nice graphic like this one.

Thanks for the suggestion, Ashvin, but I left the group last year because of the non anthroposophical way things were discussed in general. It was distracting. I recall a particularly irritating attempt to propose that the Rudolf Steiner Archive - which was also a member - arbitrarily "modernize" certain Steiner translations. I was apparently the only one who found that preposterous and opposed it. I don't want to swell the ranks of the audience for the pseudo-anthroposophical chatter. At this point, I prefer to miss out on the small portion of authentic introspection that might be shared there.
