Bad Epistemology is Killing Us - deploying the abductive virtues of Peirce an...johnboy_philothea_net
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise stimulates the production of endorphins in the brain which elevate mood and reduce stress levels.
This document discusses various perspectives on an "impersonal" or "intraobjective" experience of reality that affirms a radical solidarity between humanity and reality. It touches on concepts like panentheism, distinguishing between describing experiences versus reality itself, and references traditions like Taoism, enlightenment, and Hesychasm that speak to a similar notion of subtle or uncreated energy. The document provides caveats about humanity's limited ability to articulate such ineffable experiences and suggests they derive ultimately from a supremely personal being.
Johnboy discusses Bernardian Love and how it begins with self-love and love of God for self's sake, and then moves to love of self for God's sake. Johnboy notes that true self-realization allows us to discern when we are acting for God versus for our own agenda. This realization may be gradual rather than sudden. Johnboy also discusses how some experience a fuller realization known only to God, and how our faith becomes more certain though also more obscure over time.
The document discusses several topics:
1. Potential investment strategies in light of currency devaluations and quantitative easing, including holding some cash, investing in MLPs, metals, municipal bonds, and mutual funds focused on dividend growers and emerging markets.
2. The impact of currency devaluations, including a transfer of wealth from lenders to debtors and those with cash to those with commodities.
3. Political and economic trends, such as declining standards of living in northern countries and growing wealth in southern countries.
This document summarizes a discussion between Phil and JB about different perspectives on nonduality, consciousness, and spiritual experiences. Some key points discussed include:
- Nonduality is complex with many varied experiences and approaches, not all of which can be equated or differentiated in simple terms.
- While certain nondual experiences may feel accessible, they do not encompass all nondual engagements with reality which are varied.
- Duality is not inherently bad and both dualistic and nondual perspectives have their place depending on the context and aims.
- Different ways of knowing like intellect, affect, and nonreflective awareness can all relate to experiences of oneness or unity. Pitting them
