Philosophical Speculations

We may feel that it is too mystical and lofty to begin opening the blinds and realizing how the Spirit Self is already present and active within the surface of our imaginative life, but is collapsed and flattened over the screen of our inner perceptions. Now it is waiting to be delaminated, to be ...

I find myself really hoping that would you write above is the case, and I can imagine the Church still serves that function for quite a few souls who are intellectually inclined and enthusiastic to accept its teachings. I am curious though, how you are evaluating this - " And the laity (the real ...

I would like to write to both of you, Cleric and Ashvin : -) But also to you, Frederica. I had to cry today, not out of sadness, but out of joy, because I actually managed to discover the “inner space” and “inner stretching” today. Perhaps it is because I am completely overwhelmed right now, intern ...

Not as wild as what you did here , but fearless statement still. Well, I was accused of spreading falsities for saying Steiner links outer beauty to health, and that's exactly what he does in the quote. So, case closed. Maybe the one life theory will fall away, I don't know, but is it a truth? I ...

Steiner is not expressing similar things in these quotes. The Church and the Scriptures are quite different things, we should note?

Instead, any teachings we glean from the Church should only serve as symbolic anchor points for our ...

With respect to this: The way of Hermeticism, solitary and intimate as it is, comprises authentic experiences from which it follows that the Roman Catholic Church is, in fact, a depository of Christian spiritual truth, and the more one advances on the way of free research for this truth, the more ...

I completely agree with you that there should be a spiraling-together of the intellectual and consciousness souls, but for those who are prepared. Maintaining the separation, the "dualized spectrum," is simply a mechanism or scaffolding for the development of souls through the proper series of ...

Is there any way I can improve my working memory? Are there ways in which anthroposophy can support me here? I can see that my soul state seems to have an influence on what I need to remember (maybe I need to increase my enthusiasm?), but even when I am completely calm, my working memory is below ...

Yet that is exactly what we agree the Church will be highly resistant to. So when a modern intellectual soul confronts the astonishing scientific advances of Levin's research, on the one hand, and the uncertain promises of a nebulous afterlife in Heaven, on the other, how exactly will it be ...
