Peter Sloterdijk ~ From the Domestication of Man to the Civilizing of Cultures | 2010

Play Video

Summary: We shall screen two lectures (or one and a half really) by the great German philosopher who is perhaps the most profound thinker in the world today, Peter Sloterdijk. In the first video, he speaks in German and there are English subtitles, but only until about 21 mins into it. So then we shall go to another of his speeches, this one in English, which continues on a similar track. He has some very controversial ideas, so please keep your minds open and try to grok his larger paradigm and its implications.

Teleological:

Information, energy, or nonlinear change that occurs as the effect of events that take place in the future and alter the past, which is perceived in the present as non-ordinary phenomena, synchronicities, unpredictable emergent properties or other notable explicate arisings. The source of such forces may also lie beyond chronological time, in higher dimensions of the Real.

The process of non-process:

Since awakening is instantaneous, along with the recognition that one was never really in the dream, but enjoying the creation of the dream, it must be understood that making awakening into a process can only be part of the dream, and has nothing to do with Awakening itself.

The Real:

When we speak of the Real, unless otherwise qualified, we mean the Supreme Real. The Supreme Real does not appear. Appearance is not Real. All that appears is empty of true existence. There are no real things. All that is phenomenal is temporary, dependent, and reducible to a wave function of consciousness. The world does not exist independent of consciousness. There is no matter or material world. All is made of consciousness. Pure consciousness is Presence. It is no-thing, non-objective, not in space or time. All that appears in Presence, or to Presence, is an emanation of Presence, but is not different from That. This is one meaning of nonduality.

The Real is also a term used in Lacanian psychoanalysis. What Lacan means by the Real is that aspect of phenomenal appearance which is overwhelming, traumatic, or impossible. We would call that Real One. It is a relative Real, not Absolute. We add that there is a Real Two, which consists of divine love. Love is not an appearance, but it changes appearance, through recognition of its Source, into a divine manifestation, a projection of God’s sublimely beautiful Mind as infinite fractal holographic cosmos. Real Three is the unchanging Absolute, beyond all conception or image.

What is an Encounter Group?

Encounter Groups give our members the opportunity to share with other like-minded individuals online, facilitated by a Sat Yogi to hold the space. You may share and discuss how the teachings are impacting you or anything else you feel is relevant or important. The encounter group is not a place for questions or responding to each other, but simply deep listening.
