    Analytic Philosophy is just Scholasticism for the spiritually and metaphysically impoverished

    Like him I'm a kind of perennialist, by which I mean that frameworks could be developed which grounds mysticism in our shared structures of consciousness, while still respecting cultural relativity.

    I think Huston Smith understood this, and his distinction between states and traits gets at this.

    But this does not negate the value of third-person analyses. The scientific method could really fuck shit up (in a good way) if applied to hardcore consciousness-practice. Hopefully in years to come, theorists will go both deeper and wider, and focus on the more radical stuff.

    One can only get an adequate first-person understanding of this by adopting something analogous to a deeply religious stance. You have to believe that it’s possible to be enlightened.

    The Dharmic traditions on the other hand are blatantly mystical, and share in the understanding that true religious wisdom is the cultivation and transformation of consciousness.

    We forgot these connections in the West b/c the current exoteric lineages of the Abrahamic religions, and the cultures shaped by them, don't understand consciousness as a primary religious category (to some extent because modernization split off their previous mystical histories)

    A central idea brought to the fore by the current scientists of spirituality though, is that mystical religious practice has to do with consciousness. That has been important.

    I don’t think you can compare a discrete psychedelic experience for example, to an embodied long-term paradigmatic shift of consciousness, it’s two entirely different things.

    See for example the "Mystical Experience Questionnaire" developed by Pahnke in the 60's.

    They include ineffability as one of its dimensions, but fail to understand the implications of that very concept. That language never touches the Real, that this goes for every experience, and therefore that everything is mysticism to the mystic.

    They abstract mysticism totally from religion, and lump together everything from flow, drugs, visionary, and non-dual states into one neat category.

    In psilocybin experiments, neurosci, and comparative philosophy, researchers construct ”The mystical experience™️”; which, although profound and intense, is just another experience in the same order as others.

    But many who study and theorize these things at the intersection of science & religion misunderstand their true nature b/c of their superficial and irreligious stance towards the teachings of the wisdom traditions. Led astray by FMRI-scanners and vague concepts.

    Spirituality doesn’t cut it. It not religious enough. Religion doesn’t cut it, it’s not spiritual enough. But mysticism strikes a balance.

    I have a love/hate relationship with the word mysticism. It’s problematic, but I think what it delineates is super-important.

    The essence of the modern city is spatial anesthesia. An entity embodying an overflow of information, where the individual becomes numb to stimuli; forgetting any notion of beauty and ugliness, operating in a realm beyond any fathomable intimacy. A topography of oblivion.

    The Dharmic traditions on the other hand are blatantly mystical, and the understanding that true wisdom is the cultivation, transformation, and enlightenment of consciousness is shared by them.

    West has forgotten/ has a hard time w this b/c the current exoteric lineages of the Abrahamic religions, and the cultures they shaped, do not understand consciousness as a primary religious category (not least b/c modernization split them off from their previous mystical history)

    What these scientists have rediscovered though, which IS important, is that mysticism is about the processes of mind/consciousness.
