Just back from an AGM, with the directors talking about ESG and DIE, and climate and CO2.

Assume that they have to assume these lies in order to stay in business.

With PWC taking a cut of the profits too.

Health and Safety employs a lot of paper pushers not ladder holders.

Compliance reports and lying double speak.

In his book The Fate of Man in the Modern World Berdyaev talks of Steiner. Berdyaev stressed the human person as the Imago Dei. His Gnostic thought was deeply influenced by Boheme. His early work and his later work do not differ much other than his insights were sharpened by events. From his view Steiner had the error elevating science too high and in his Anthrosophy lost sight of the Anthropos.

All societies and civilizations are based upon agreed upon lies!

You have hit the nerve centre of the rotting tooth!

I remember my first lie and the lies that followed. They grew like hydra arms until there seemed like there was no room for possible redemption... And suffocating for lack of space, fearing that everything would unravel, I had to let go of it all and let that life die.

I nearly really died but it was the best thing that ever happened to me... Letting go of fear.

Thanks for the reminder!

Thanks for the introduction to Berdyaev. I was intrigued why we were blocked to the "Lies" link. Simply an over-reaction from American or Russian sides on the internet? Who knows. I find Berdyaev remarkable. I'm currently combining decades of Buddhist practice with a dive into Western mysticism via Steiner. I find, as always, everyone wants me to look exclusively through their lens, their way of understanding, when, in fact, we can look through many because overlaps not only exist but the "many" approaches are ultimately "one." Here's two sites I found regarding Berdyaev. (I got nowhere with Brave but had to use Yandex, which I do most frequently these days.) The first is "The Paradox of the LIe": https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bffO6T_7P1RskVFnA9qaZD4Z_twiy22f/view

The second is a general site with massive material written by Berdyaev: https://www.nicholasberdyaev.com/

I attempted to access the "Paradox of The Lie" and was blocked. Why?
