GENIUS FORUMS

Interestingly, on this forum and in all conversations of this sort, there will be a constant circling back to Jewish issues and Jewish questions. It is part-and-parcel of European ideation. The issue of Jews, Jewishness and Jewish ethics is ineradicable. So as I see things it has to be brought up ju...

Spiritual to me, in our 'material world', and as far as our activities go, means 'idea' or 'concept'. To live by high ideas, high ideals, high concepts. I don't know what 'non-matter' is. Dualism as I would define it is between 'pure nature' (mindless) and the 'high-minded'. The best expressions of ...

Logic (or emotion) is a problem (to me) because it is not absolute. Is it not also a problem for you since you seek to find universal absolutes or values? I have a more mediate position to fulfil, I suppose. It seems to me that a person, any person, might be able to have a 'darshana' of the Absolut...

Well, it is a pain to upload those as to get them to display whole I have to upload a page at a time to create a 'hotlink'. And then post only 3 images at a time. What I wish to point out here is first the concept of 'dashana'. Darshan as many know is generally take to mean 'vision' or 'veiwing'. Wh...

Hello Bobo. Richard Weaver in Ideas Have Consequences wrote of 'the last metaphysical right ': the property that one might own that would represent one's authentic connection, and commitment, to this reality. He was likely speaking of homestead, a place, a piece of land, some authentic (real) segmen...

It occurs to me that in any conversation on metaphysics, or transcendence, or strict materialism, that there always lurks the notion and sensation of death. http://s1.postimg.org/4cbe0h4ez/shakespeare_s_view_of_death_Page_1.jpg http://s1.postimg.org/j9jv1hhnf/shakespeare_s_view_of_death_Page_2.jpg h...

But one cannot just address "Marxian theory" or Marxism as mode of analysis without addressing at least historical materialism (materialist interpretation of historical development) and especially how the suggested dialectical method was derived from Kant and Hegel. There's also the disti...

I have a concern about the 'metaphysical implications' of being 'in the world but not of it'... The idea, the fact really, of 'ownership interest' has been an important one for me. I came to it intuitionally and slowly I have begun to understand why it seemed relevant. Ownership interest is a concre...

Therefore the truthful or righteous path with regards to realizing the truth of ultimate reality is: still the emotions, still the rational, realize the truth of the unknowable Logos, return from realized truth of ultimate reality to be in the conditioned world but not of the conditioned world. Ple...

Whether we like it or not, and no matter if we understand it or not, our European culture, and our European mind, is a culture and mind that has evolved with and through Christian forms. Hatched and gestated as it were by the Church. A 'whole world'---that is, the Medieval world, and the High Middle...

Now shadows move freely within me as words. These are eternal, these stunned, loosened verbs. And I can't tell you yet how truly I belong to the hiss and shift of the wind, these slow, variable mouths through which, at certain times, I speak in tongues. (from a poem by Louise Erdich) ______________...

Hello there. I believe I understand what you are saying. Except I am not clear about what to take away from "The problem with Guénon's view of supra-rational intellectual knowledge is no different than that of the natural rationalists, that of mistaking effect for cause". It is that I am n...

Is there really a category of 'metaphysics' in the Occident? It is a meaningless term, isn't it?

Generally speaking, what does 'intuition' mean? Very little.

Intelligence is an historical word rich in meaning. But the meaning is no longer grasped.
