Schuon. Meanwhile, I began scratching my brutelike head as to how Bob is a devoted evolutionist, albeit of the God-believing kind, and still a Schuon approver. Evolution has never, ever, until Bob and his book, been a doctrine I could accept. As Schuon would say, it is a metaphysical impossibility. And, of course, he is quite right, unless, and this is a big UNLESS, you accept some of the assumptions that Bob outlines in his book. If you understand Schuon, then he is right. If you understand Bob, then he is right. Now, there is simply no way that Schuon, or his followers, would ever accept this "novelty" of evolution, as described by Bob. There are several other Bob doctrines that are similar "novelties" to a Schuonian.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-1167931183927490222007-01-04T09:19:00.000-08:002007-01-04T09:19:00.000-08:00Hoarhey,Coordinates dialed into my usb-enabled gps...Hoarhey,<BR/><BR/>Coordinates dialed into my usb-enabled gps-Bow-inator.<BR/><BR/>Expect incoming bows this evening.Van Harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08470413719262297062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-1167931069061765712007-01-04T09:17:00.000-08:002007-01-04T09:17:00.000-08:00Not an aussie/no longer green said...

He beats the same dead horse as the UnMan in Perelandra does to Ransom. "Ransom. Ransom." "What?" "Nothing" "Ransom. Ransom. Ransom..." Hes clearly an addict or a psycho. Get new material and become a real boy, Pinocchio.<BR/><BR/>Takes wisdom to see wisdom. Shes longwinded but no fool, is dead on in what he could do to gain wisdom. Donkeys aren't interested in wisdom. Those not owning their spiritual filth are burdensome to others. I know as I've been a spiritual burden to others but changed by God's and my own hard work. I don't respect anyone who doesn't help himself. We would not suffer Integralists immature deflective repetitious rants if he would but grow. She isnt posting to him any longer which shows restraint. He needs to show restraint instead of continuing to be a fool and donkey. Get on with business at hand, ignore his braying. Put the bit and bridle to mouth or the animal runs wild.<BR/><BR/>Only fool I see here is the one who has y'all running in circles around him like the Joker from Batman. Thank only yourselves if no one handles him wisely. Many expect better from a blog about spirituality. Less personal attacks amongst yourselves and more posts on the subject at hand is needed. Mature community is better than a foolish helpless one.<BR/><BR/>w.v.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-1167926110384024372007-01-04T07:55:00.000-08:002007-01-04T07:55:00.000-08:00I'm curious where Bob weighs in here: Bob, in your...I'm curious where Bob weighs in here: Bob, in your own grand scheme, does this blog best serve its purpose when ideas are batted about by a few pundits and sages who agree with you and your talking points? Or does it work best when the less lofty chime in rather than remaining on the sidelines?<BR/><BR/>After months of observing, it seems to me that the blog comments section is weighted heavily toward the intellectual elite. Those who don't possess a ready philo/psycho/religiosophical framework generally are berated just for asking a question. Whether or not they might agree with the position once they understand it. And too often in the attempt at understanding, someone slings some dung, and the inevitable sophomoric name-calling ensues. Very tiring. Not very enlightening. However it does wonders for identifying the possible psychoses latent in the commenters.<BR/><BR/>I am most engaged spiritually when I take part. Surpise, surprise. Yet I don't feel welcome here, for the reason mentioned above. Yet in my own dialogue with God, I still feel worthy even if I'm not smart enough for the OneCosmos regulars. And there, I suppose, is my real question:<BR/><BR/>Is this in keeping with your own notion of the Grand Scheme, the One Cosmos, that those not "smart" enough just...well, aren't smart enough to move up vertically? Does spiritual advancement, after all, really depend on one's IQ?<BR/><BR/>No offense intended, if any seems warranted.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-1167924527736099182007-01-04T07:28:00.000-08:002007-01-04T07:28:00.000-08:00River Cocytus, good luck with your new site!

I only skimmed the thread, but I guess I couldn't keep away...I must be begging for Conversion, as I think IT implied.<BR/><BR/>Will, I'd like to talk more with you because you bring up a very interesting topic and some good points, but suffice it to say you clearly misunderstand (and misrepresent) my viewpoint, doing what Bob et al did: equating it with "Leftism" because it doesn't fit into your own brand of what I'm now realizing is an offshoot of Traditionalism. I will take at least partial responsibility (for the misunderstanding) based on seemingly inadequate presentation.<BR/><BR/>But yes, I agree that genuine gnosis will impact worldview. But it will not necessarily change the "basic operating system," so to speak. It may merely re-inforce it.<BR/><BR/>I generally agree with Wilber's take, where he differentiates <B>stages/structures</B> of consciousness with <B>states</B> of consciousness. If one experiences a transpersonal or spiritual state of consciousness they will translate it "down" into their stage/structure of consciousness.<BR/><BR/>If we take the basic Gebserian STAGES, we have:<BR/><BR/>archaic <BR/>magical<BR/>mythic<BR/>rational<BR/>pluralistic<BR/>integral<BR/><BR/>If one at the mythic stage of development has a spiritual experience they will interpret it ethnocentrically, via their own cultural symbology. They will even see and experience it thusly. They will not be able to differentiate their own cultural (and relative) forms for the deeper, transpersonal realities. They may even think, for example, that only Christians experience Christ! ;)<BR/><BR/>Will they be transformed by their experience? Perhaps, but not in terms of stage development. That is, a spiritual experience will not evolve them to the rational stage (and the stages do unfold sequentially). It may bring them a deeper sense of well-being, peace, and even spiritual understanding, but stage-development requires something other than peak spiritual experiences, which is related more to Grace and surrender. It requires immense self-effort.<BR/><BR/>More later...<BR/><BR/>love to all,<BR/>your very own IntegralistAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-1167898945009966242007-01-04T00:22:00.000-08:002007-01-04T00:22:00.000-08:00Yes WILL, you're right but its late and I'm very t...Yes WILL, you're right but its late and I'm very tired. :D Tomorrows another day & will try again. Thanks for heads-up on MSWord idea will do.<BR/><BR/>Would like to point out: The myriad troubles Inty caused needed to be faced & addressed much sooner to contain the damage. He posted as other people repeatedly (I'm all for aliases when they are funny but not when they are chronically abused as he did), maliciously hacked my nic & password in order to post as me in blue, made overt sexual assertions, attacked others unnecessarily, manipulated and sought to draw people one against the other, etc. all while not learning much of anything. Early on I said he wanted attention, not to learn what we "meant."<BR/><BR/>This kind of chronic immature juvenile behavior that violates others without regard for others being & security is a serious issue from anyone posting here. It should not be poo-pooed & ignored or allowed to continue w/o firm correction. Inty often engaged purposefully w/malicious & counterfeit intents. Was anything said or done to deter him from doing it more? What will deter others?<BR/><BR/>Was disappointed to see his antics were not dealt w/directly nor addressed. Nor was he "called" on them to cease & desist even after he hacked my nic. I'm a big girl & handled it myself. But he should have been called down for that violation. He repeatedly tried to alternately draw & then attack people here needlessly, to pit one against the other - what came of all the chaos?<BR/><BR/>None of us here are responsible to "save Inty" or any Leftie from himself. I do not feel sorry for him. Why should we have to put up with the chaos & abuse? Some "abuse," ok. The overly-malicious kind should be nipped in the bud. To not do so firmly invites other (Lefties) to come here & stir up unnecessary troubles as well with nothing to deter them. I simply request it be considered & a plan for containment made so it can be dealt w/sooner next time it occurs (and it will.) Then blogging can still be fun, secure & appropriate for everyone when balance is maintained better.<BR/><BR/>- PrincessSpirit -<BR/>(GNight)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
