Philosophical Speculations

My question is, how can MAL become MAL + experience of new thought-forms without changing? It appears to me that MAL changes and remains unchanged through its inter-penetrating action with forms, just as we finite beings do. Again, I believe the confusion arises from conceiving of MAL as having a ...

The eternal Mind is changed by its awareness of this change, yet also remains unchanged in its unified experience of the change. Yes, MAL remains unchanged, even in its experience of change. Consciousness, though not describable in terms of known objects, does not exclude objects, just as a mirror ...

We could just replace "evolution" with "transformation" if that's easier to work with. I still do not see why MAL cannot undergo transformation independent of our concepts of space-time. Can you elaborate on the philosophical reasons? “It is important to notice that the formation of alters does not ...

I don't quite understand why there must be a qualitative disconnect between the evolutionary process of MAL and that of the human individual. Or why 'time', in some non-linear sense, cannot be fundamental to MAL? I am thinking along the lines of Piaget's theory of play in children: I don’t see how M ...

If we don’t pull MAL down into time and space, then it would not have any goals or purpose in the human sense or even instinctual drives, but it could freely undergo involution/evolution and play at creation-discovery.

Describing the manifestation of the world by MAL as an "ontological imperative" implies that the world must of necessity be the result of the very being of MAL. It would then be a cause of the world in the sense that given a certain cause an effect must of necessity follow. Necessary causality is an ...

My dog may not have much in the way of metacognition but he has the good sense to be wary of strangers and to greet his family with affection. Surely MAL is at least as reasonable.

My dream avatar could never be smarter than me simply because in reality he is me. In the same way, an alter of the ground of being cannot be more intelligent and reasonable than its ground. If we are apertures through which mind at large is observing itself, then mind at large must be at least as ...
