re hope and . . .

Leon, when I wrote "there might be hope for me, yet," I
meant: There might be hope for me, yet.
Seeing as at one point your wording about me seemed kind
of strongly critical and emotional, so when you wrote:
<<Thus, there is no time to think of or remember the past
while one is acting with an open and receptive mind in the
present. In doing so, one accepts, gives forgiveness
for (and forgets) all wrong thoughts and acts of self and
others that has led up to the present. Thus, the future
becomes completely open to full awareness, acceptance,
and intuitively wise responses that the immediate
circumstances of the NOW require. Positively, Leon>>
it occurred to me that that kind of wording would seem to
suggest that there might be, in some sense, hope for me
and us all, "yet."
Not that we're not all comparatively crazy in some sense,
from some perspective. But if we can all be seen as
comparatively crazy, comparatively simple-minded,
comparatively irrelevant, or "basically mayavic," to begin
with, from a "Higher" or buddhi/atmic perspective, and if
we all realize/sense about that, then couldn't we
more-experientially (on whatever sense level) realize
something about that aspect of our essence that, in turn,
realizes about our dualistic simplicity, and so couldn't such
realizing, in turn, lead to some kind of "more conscious"
realization/experience of (our intimacy with)
buddhi-manas," and so couldn't such
realizing/experiencing, in turn, lead to some kind of "more
conscious" realization/experience about the atma reality
that (obviously, in a sense?) presides over the
buddhi-manas reality aspect . . . I wonder if what might be
happening with manas, in general, might be that what we
call "consciousness" might be the interpretive (ie,
"conscious") aspect of that triad; so I wonder if manas
might have a tendency to assume that "interpretation" "IS"
"consciousness," which of course would (?) lead to the
need to stop interfering (or, as mans might "prefer" to call
it: "interpreting") with (what might called?) a
"consciousness itself" aspect in order to experience/realize
about consciousness itself . . . Sorry, ULT'rs, if my use of
"aspect," etc, seems wrong, crazy, etc. The only
excuse/explanation I can offer is that I'm speculating here,
not positiving. Some speculators, like me, apparently,
seem to have trouble positiving "enough" . . . But I keep
thinking that there might be hope for even speculators like
me.
I was watching a TV documentary last night on Nova
about time travel and relativity and wondered if those
scientists (Steven Hawking, etc---I can't remember the
other names) ever think of those kinds of triads. I
wondered if they might also realize something about the
relevance or meaning of "simplicity," or mayavic
simplicity, within manasic/dualistic or "regular" worldview
"reality" . . . and so might (?) realize something about the
essential "simplistic duality" of their tendency to "initially
assume" various dualistics . . .
Speculatively,
Mauri
