Philosophical Speculations

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 ...

Cleric, I’ve decided to start over from scratch and begin the essay series anew this time, right from the beginning. Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about the Tarot card “The Fool” and how it describes the "sacrifice of intellect" (the abstract-thinking mode). With that in mind, I’d like to try agai ...

This part is interesting, because it poses the question: "Is one dishonest if unconscious of behaving deceitfully?" We know that in law there is the almost absolute principle that "ignorantia legis non excusat". Is this applicable to ignorance of the freedom of spiritual activity? Is the ...

I have some good news. I’ve finally finished all my exams for this semester, and now I have enough time again to focus on the essays.

My Soul motivation to play games, e.g. like certain games that require a high level of concentration, lies in the fact that I obviously improve my ability to concentrate, especially working memory and the like, because it has been terrible for me a while ago. It got better now since I fixed less on ...

Another example: I used to play CS:GO, a first-person shooter game, a lot when I was a teenager. Apart from the ethical implications (although, contrary to what the media often used to claim in the panic, you can very well distinguish that shooting a game character, pixels of zeros and ones, is not ...

I can provide a few thoughts here. Before I embarked on my current spiritual-scientific path, I was heavily involved in so-called "astral projection" — the specific version of this term which is an active form of lucid dreaming (alternatively called "wake-induced lucid dreaming", or WILD). I had g ...
