Re: Beyond Intellectualism: Clarifying the Spiritual Scientific Method (Part 4)

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 ...

Re: Beyond Intellectualism: Clarifying the Spiritual Scientific Method (Part 3)

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 ...

Re: Justin Riddle's Nested Observer Windows

This collaboration between Hoffman and Gallimore is intriguing. On the one hand, it emphasizes the need to transition to 1st-person science and that Hoffman is open to doing so. Even more than Levin, he is willing to pursue scientific investigation into more integrated conscious perspectives, in ...

Re: What we Learned from JW's Monism

JW: "Part 1:I agree that the living process cannot be captured in a succession of articulated snapshots, and that we participate in that process aesthetically and preconsciously before we reduce it to conceptual form. Where we continue to differ concerns what can be learned from that intimacy. You ...

Re: What we Learned from JW's Monism

JW: "Part 5:In fact, the greater danger of projection may run in the opposite direction. We have become extraordinarily successful at producing systems precisely because we can arrest enough flux to obtain stable structures. We then risk projecting the character of those reductive articulations ...

Re: Beyond Intellectualism: Clarifying the Spiritual Scientific Method (Part 1)

I've actually been working on a writing method for what you're calling "progressive disclosure" using the Substack platform. The plan is for said disclosure to unfold both within each individual article and across subsequent articles such that the trajectory of the entire publication has a similar ...

Re: Beyond Intellectualism: Clarifying the Spiritual Scientific Method (Part 1)

I've been thinking about ways to solve this problem many times. I guess one solution is to make a presentation that offers progressive disclosure . Maybe something like a mind map that, at the highest level, presents the backbone of the topic and then the user can click to expand the 'vertebrae ...

Re: Beyond Intellectualism: Clarifying the Spiritual Scientific Method (Part 1)

I want to share some feedback from Bruce's cross-post of this essay: "I did get some feedback about your first post. A friend tried to read it and was not able to finish reading. Not because it was bad but because it was so long. She may come back to it, but you might consider shortening what you ...
