Nicholas,

[a reply to the previous message]

I feel you want to wrap up the entire thing (or this subthread),
so let me add just a few comments, although it may be already too
late.

I appreciate what you wrote about the methods of investigation.
It's pefectly OK with me.  As a scientist (a research physicist),
I myself is committed to strict rules of games -- maybe too rigid
as some scholars believe.  But, IMO, your list is incomplete,
there is a crucial omission: applying one's own intuition.
Failure to do that (i.e.  to strain intuition) will lead to
dogmatism, repeated stumbling over apparent contradictions, etc.,
(as is clearly seen from Hume and Sinnett's letters to the
Mahatmas) given the fact that the system as we know it is
incomplete and full of blinds.

Have nice holidays,

Max
