As you may know, our dear friend Govert Schuller is taking a sabbatical at Far Horizons and will be largely incommunicado for the next three months. I have worked, studied, taught, drank, argued, eaten, walked and talked, talked and talked with Govert for many years now, and though I know these summer months will pass by rapidly, I will miss him dearly.
As one of the handful that share his philosophical interests, I will gladly take up his “challenge for philosophically minded Theosophists to suspend their metaphysical constructs for a while and go through a philosophical awakening in the spirit of phenomenology.” I hope some of you do as well.
While he’s gone, please visit and explore the rich treasures he has stored up at Alpheus, and continue some of the discussions he has prompted here:
Experiential Grounding of Theosophy
Global Warming / Consciousness
Take care brother.
Thank you, bro. Will miss you too and the digital way of communication. In the middle of the night I realized that after having packed my computer I had forgotten to print a crucial document. Needless to say, I had to get up, re-assemble the whole darn set-up and get the doc. Meanwhile I reconnected my modem and went online. While doing I had this sinking feeling of a junky going at his last fix. Very disconcerting. Anyway, we’ll see how digital ‘cold turkey’ will feel. Will report later.
Chris, thanks for taking up my challenge that I threw out with a little attitude, for which my apologies. We’ll pick it up again in the fall.
Katinka, Pablo, Latebrake, and all other contributors: thanks for the discussions. Hope to find a cornucopia when back. A bientot.
Govert
Far Horizons is a tremendous opportunity for a thinker.. You could wile away the hours Conferrin’ with the flowers, Consultin’ with the rain…
We’ll miss you..
I envy you, with everything going on here, I’m not going to be able to take my usual ‘theosophical holiday’ this year. Instead my ‘vacation’ will be spent moving house, painting house (not in that order), writing three papers and hoping to get my bachelors (not likely) – and one weekend of canoing.
Anyhow – wishing you a good recharge.
I’ll miss you Govert, although you will probably be around when I get back. Maybe you’ll get another fix sometime in a month or so and we’ll hear from you.
His class on westeren esotericism this fall at olcott looks good.
