In the screenshot below, Steiner says that modern science only focuses on the mechanics of physical things, not the conscious forces that set them into motion in the first place.
So while consciousness underlies everything, this ground of being projects two domains:
{deterministic, mechanical, mathematical} phenomena
AND
{nondeterministic, spiritual, metaphysical} being
The first is passive sleeping consciousness, the latter active living consciousness. The dream & the dreamer. Frozen thought & thinker.
Each domain (with its numerous subdomains) is its own ontology, having its own rules, processes, and history.
This means you can’t use math equations to figure out karma, lessons, love, or enlightenment. But neither can you use spiritual laws to derive the equations of a physical system.
And yet, the mechanical side of existence serves the metaphysical side. It provides the environment, props, and bodies for the story of spirit. Passive is subordinate to the active.
A common misconception is that occult phenomena like the etheric body & plane, the tunnel seen during many NDEs, astral projection, telekinesis, other realms, or the transparency of ghosts are all “spiritual” things.
But these are mechanics, not metaphysics. They’re not spiritual in the sense of the divine will or the meaning of life. They’re phenomena with rules that govern the nature & behavior of substance & form.
That means it’s possible to extend science beyond the material realm, to understand with mathematical precision the nature of the etheric & astral planes, other realms, observations of paranormal phenomena, etc.
Whatever is within the domain of mechanics, even if nonphysical, can in theory be understood, measured, even engineered & manipulated.
And doing so does NOT replace metaphysics.
Materialists want to reduce everything spiritual to physical explanations, but that isn’t what I’m talking about here.
I’m talking about reclaiming what has been misattributed to the spiritual domain, to free up the latter & thereby reveal what matters most as first causes, while also sharpening our understanding of what is within our power & perhaps cosmic duty to master in terms of mechanics.

74 today they tell me in a reality in which there is no 'time' - only the illusion of it. That's the real scale of the perceptual conspiracy that controls human reality by controlling humanity's simulated SENSE of reality.
But whatever they tell me my 'age' is - the work goes on to expose the deceit that programs expressions of Infinite Awareness to believe they are just Bill and Mary, mom and pop.
We've come such a long way since I consciously began in 1990, but still a long way to go. '74' or not - I am more determined than ever in the knowledge that if we awaken from the illusion we awaken from the control of the crazies.
THEIR power has been OUR power all along that we hand to them in the form of acquiescence. We've just been manipulated to forget, but ever more are starting to remember.
That awakening must now enter overdrive if the house of cards - which acquiescence and naivety is holding together - is at last to come tumbling down.
I’ll raise a glass to that today. It is my no-time infinite ‘birthday’ after all.
@AshtonForbes We don’t live in the democracy you think we do. We live in National Security States with the illusion of democracy. The only differences to Russia and China is they are more open about it.
@AshtonForbes We’re going to trust those that have lied so long that they are now telling all. They are going disclose some limited version that suits whatever they next have planned
@michaelshermer Am not sure why people get so irate about this. Just listen to the account if you believe it or parts of it fine. If you don’t also fine move on. I think most people don’t need to be told by other people what’s worthy or not and can decide for themselves.
