Eric Weiss was an integral philosopher of Whitehead and Sri Aurobindo

Another teacher of mine, Eric Weiss, died yesterday.

He was an integral philosopher, scholar of A. N. Whitehead and Sri Aurobindo. 

Eric initiated me into the Whitehead mystery school back in my first semester at CIIS in Fall 2008. I was a night owl back then but still dragged

Something about internally related drops of experience perishing into objective immortality in the consequent nature of God... Again, no idea what that might mean at the time,

but the passion in his voice and the vortexes streaming from his eyes had me convinced it was worth trying to figure out. 

Bon voyage, Eric

PS- How auspicious that you passed on Aug 15, which is Sri Aurobindo's birthday as well as the date of the Assumption of Mary.
