Philosophical Speculations

Rodriel, I get that you are not interested in debate. What I then do not get is how one can use rebuttals to reinforce one's original points while being uninterested in debate, but let's not fiddle, I agree this would lead nowhere. Regarding the "subtle posture of superiority", it has nothing to do ...

I'm not sure what "type of conversation" you are interested in, but for my part I am not interested in one type of conversation or another, and I find it weird to be interested in types of conversation. Other than that, thanks for the info about what I can expect, but keep in mind that - as ...

To be clear, what I meant to show with the image above is that “A” can be purposefully contextualized and made to look something quite different, purely because of the added context. In the image, “B” is such recontextualized “A”. “B” is made to look very different from “A”, but in reality it is ide ...

There is this widespread mistaken notion, perhaps held over from previous centuries, that the Church is somehow a political actor and that it should operate at the level of positivist earthly governance. Like we have discussed, this is simply not the function of the Church in the hypermodern era ...

The position on gender affirming surgery is concerning, however. I think that is a slippery slope and appealing to cases where they may be an "unbearable existence" seems quite illogical. Perhaps Rodriel can shed some more light on the nuances of the official position here. Sure, I'm happy to ...

I don't see that a possible answer to my question would lead to endless debates about who is the greater seer. My intention with the question was to somewhat understand the mysterious stance you have been speaking from in this thread. From Cleric's writings, for example, it's always immediately ...

I would like to take advantage of my lower position here to ask you a question, Rodriel, which would otherwise get unasked. You have previously called yourself "no great seer", and stated that much of Steiner's results of spiritual-scientific inquiry is "still unverified content" for you. You have ...

But this only confirms the point I wanted to make. And it all comes due to the already established fact that everything is expressed from the standpoint of Imagination. This is clear from other statements too, such as: "Love is the vital element of profound knowledge, intuitive knowledge. Now, one ...

Thanks for the elaboration, Rodriel. Let's focus on the bold and try to understand what's going on. Realistically, there could be no Church of the Consciousness Soul (in the sense of outer organization). Why is that? To answer, we first need to realize lucidly what life in the intellectual soul ...

Moral purity in one lifetime is sufficient for salvation. Would you be able to flesh this out a little? From a reformed "biblical" Protestant perspective, the one-life teaching is a non-negotiable and the condition for salvation is derived from the likes of Romans 10:9 If you declare with your ...
