Franklin Merrell-Wolff was an American mystic and esoteric philosopher. After formal education in philosophy and mathematics at Stanford and Harvard, Wolff devoted himself to the goal of transcending the normal limits of human consciousness. After exploring various mystical teachings and paths, he dedicated himself to the path of jnana yoga and the writings of Shankara, the expounder of the Advaita Vedanta school of Hindu philosophy.
By his own admission it wasn't as systematic as he would have liked but addressed this (problem?) with the followup "Conciousness without an object".To me,these aren't just books to "read" in the traditional sense but rather(esp the 56 aphorisms at the end of his 2nd book)) to be digested and left to germinate and finally come to at LEAST partial fruition.Any effort the reader does put forth in being an ACTIVE participant in the thoughts/ideas put forth by FMW will be rewarded many times over :)
Another of the foundational books on my journey....While reading 'The High Indifference" on a lunch hour from Title Insurance & Trust I had an experience of gnosis; was utterly gobsmacked. Spent the better part of an afternoon on my back, staring up at the sky, overwhelmed by the realization which the words in 'The High Indifference' catalyzed. My boss was not happy when I finally showed up. Powerful mojo here.
дневник трансформации и "просветления" сознания человека, воспитанного в западной философской и математической традиции. Много инсайтов, но и много санскрита. Очень хотелось бы прочитать на английском, но нужно покупать бумажную версию. Некоторые вырезки: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1k...
A personal reflection while going to a spiritual transformation.
The author tries his best to approximate his non-dual states of awareness in which the subjective and objective merge into one.
His awakening was very much influenced by his personal background. No wonder he sees mathematics as the best non-symbolic metaphysics to approximate That which can't be spoken about.
Also, the author has high praises for the philosophy of Kant, and Hegel and says that their writings are the highest thoughts that try to reach the transcendent.
Although at some points the writhing was "dry", it is a good read.
