"Bruce,
Thanks for presenting the four stages through which we can see an intimate relationship between the known and the unknown. As you know I was there for your presentation but still needed your careful written analysis in order to glimpse…"

Michael Gray replied to Balder's discussion Home: A Planetary Perspective (Susan Wright)"With the horrible historical examples of how a small group of people who claim to be acting on behalf of the "people" as a whole created hell-on-earth for those actual people, who had no voice and were slaughtered like inconvenient…"
Michael Gray replied to Balder's discussion Home: A Planetary Perspective (Susan Wright)"In the closing scene of the movie, "An Incomplete Life", Robert Redford says to Morgan Freeman,
"I hear you had a flying dream."
And Freeman responds (something like),
"Yes. I…"
Michael Gray replied to Balder's discussion Home: A Planetary Perspective (Susan Wright)"Perhaps there is an alternative to zooming out (blurring the details in order to include a broader range) and zooming in (losing perspective of the whole in order to examine the threads in the weave). I'm reading "My Stroke of…"
Michael Gray replied to Balder's discussion Home: A Planetary Perspective (Susan Wright)"I love this discussion. I am not at "home" with the impressive knowledge base that appears to be present for people who study the world and our being an an integrated whole, with metaphysics thrown in, but I intend to acquire the…"
Michael Gray replied to Balder's discussion Home: A Planetary Perspective (Susan Wright)"Why are the themes of leaving home, returning home, discovering our true home . . . so redolent of feeling, longing, celebration? Susan Wright's exploration in this article hits on the multi-layered meaning of home and the urgent need to…"
Michael Gray replied to Balder's discussion Matarealism"A thought about the light/matter question raised above. In the Sun's world, it does seem that light is the product of a material process. But in our world, instead of leaving, light arrives, and it is fundamental to the life that…"

Michael Gray replied to Michael Gray's discussion Gaia--the greater life accessible here and now"Good Morning, David,
You're the listener that everyone with an interrupted childhood hopes to find. I'm just saying. I take seriously your thoughts about present life, the images of a possible redemptive or karmically-rewarding…"
Davidu replied to Michael Gray's discussion Gaia--the greater life accessible here and now"Hi Michael,
Nice to see you over here. I suppose if you accept without question a better plane awaits after death, the real question, as you seem to point toward, is not if there is in fact a better place, but how believing in a better place…"
Michael Gray replied to Glistening Deepwater's discussion Reflections upon Science, Nondual Spirituality and the role of Philosophers."Two months have passed since the last volley was launched in this interesting discussion, so perhaps the scent has grown cold by now. Reading with interest (and I'm always interested when I encounter three elements offered…"
Michael Gray replied to Balder's discussion Introduction to TSK"I just watched Steve Randall's introduction to TSK. It gives me the pleasure of finding the familiar in the midst of the unfamiliar. Studying TSK has been my motivation for joining this "Postmetaphysical" site, and I find…"
Balder replied to Michael Gray's discussion Gaia--the greater life accessible here and now"Hi, Michael, welcome to the IPS forum. Have you shared these ideas with Christian believers? It is a good message for adopting a more this-worldly, participatory, respectful orientation with the greater life of our planet."

The airways are aswamp with assertions about a better place and an eternal home, accessible only to the faithful who adhere to a particular perspective and who have signed up in advance with a particular institution. Members only--like the private clubs in Mobile, Alabama, that were exotic and strange to me as a Canadian from Montreal, when I worked there as a busboy in 1964. I wonder if the concept of Gaia could be used to appeal to someone who is tied up with a fundamentalist vision. It…See More
About
What paths lie ahead for religion and spirituality in the 21st Century? How might the insights of modernity and post-modernity impact and inform humanity's ancient wisdom traditions? How are we to enact, together, new spiritual visions – independently, or within our respective traditions – that can respond adequately to the challenges of our times?
This group is for anyone interested in exploring these questions and tracing out the horizons of an integral post-metaphysical spirituality.
