Have you read First Principles & First Values by David J. Temple (Marc Gafni et al)? You touch on his Cosmoerotic Humanism theory here, but I was just wondering. I found it really interesting, even if a bit hard to follow at times.
Daniel Schmachtenberger provided a beautiful sort of primer to the whole thing in his speech at the Emergence Festival though, which is what got me into it in the first place.
Thanks for the hint. Yes, I have read the book and found it really interesting and helpful. What helped me understand their point better was Andreas Weber's work. I'll check out Daniel Schmachtenberger's talk. 🙏🖤
All of Western philosophy is created by The Emissary and as such an expression of and trapped in the left-brained paradigm as described by Iain McGilchrist in his book the Master & His Emissary.
It is thus also impossible to think one's way out of the trap.
"I'm skeptical that practcing philosophy is not the ultimate aVOIDance (please forgive me) as it feeds endless verbiage. Yak yak yak." --- such a good point. I often wonder the same.
I was just describing Gafni's take on Eros to someone over the weekend. It feels this is kind of what many mean when they refer to becoming, where becoming is something like our purpose for being here.
We've discussed this before, but if it were true (in some way) that our 'purpose' is to engage in our entirely unique process of becoming (recognising this is an unavoidably relational phenomena), then our disconnection from said process of becoming would perhaps be one of the greatest drivers of 'suffering' (the magnitude of which would be mirrored i.e. inversely proportional).
I love your list of "less is more"! Can I use it by giving you credits? I would definitely add "chat with AI bots" =) though..
Absolutely!

Anyway, always a nice read. :)

I am familiar with his work though. Thank you 😊
Whoops none of those reference came up!

I struggle to sit with nothing at the moment. I was getting good at it. But it also was a doing and an effort which puts me off.
Being with addiction and not being with addiction is effort.
I think (there's the problem) the problem is in the trying to figure it out. Does a hare try to figure out what it means to be a hare?

Another goodie Jes.
Here's to less becoming so much more!
