Philosophical Speculations

Thank you, Ashvin for this next part of your essay. I think I still haven't grasped the full intuition of Time yet. I believe I can dimly intuit something of it, but I'm not quite sure what to make of it yet. So back when I was studying Kant and Ernst Marcus extensively, I imagined the pure forms of ...

I'm currently trying to delve deeper into these topics again and to read through Barfield's works myself, respectively "Saving The Appearances" right now. Maybe I'm slowly getting too caught up in reading instead of "doing" and moving beyond the act of reading itself, even though, of course, reading ...

Hello, Cleric
Without sounding impatient, when will the next part of this essay be published? Or are you re-considering the way how to write the next part? So far, this essay series is brilliant to me.

Trained clairvoyants across traditions — and even within anthroposophy — don't reliably converge on the same super-sensible facts. Hey, Anthony66 : -) I'm still quite new around here, but I did read many of your posts (to learn mainly), because it somewhat resonated with me too, that was before I di ...

My goal with the presentation of the loops is to lead the reader in an accessible way in the direction that is essentially pursued by modern scientific thought. The single-loop is really a symbol for the culmination of intellectual thought. It is the attempt to grasp the whole of reality as a ...

Hi Kaje, "But this loop would no longer have any meaning." I'm not sure what exactly you imply by this. As you suggested, when these things are seen as intellectual models, they are completely equivalent. If we take a software solution implementing certain business logic through microservices ...

Have I understood the problem fully and correctly overall? If not, where is my mistake or misunderstanding? Don't sugar coat anything. Be as honest as possible. I really want to make and be sure that I fully understand the problem thoroughly. Hi Kaje, I would like to offer a few brief thoughts ...
