Maybe. However... But, but... What more can I say?

Leon, in reply to that I have (speculatively, of

Leon, I don't really know what you mean by
"unconditioned reality," but seems to me that it's
NOT
particularly logical to suggest that "unconditioned
reality" in the sense of noumenality or "higher reality"
(that's substantially "LESS conditioned," to say the
least, then what we typically have on this plane?)
might have a "scientific and metaphysical
relationship
to conditioned reality"? Is it that you're trying to
scientize unconditioned reality (whatever you might
mean by those terms)?
Seems to me that "unconditioned reality" is beyond
the Abyss that separates conditioned and
unconditioned, exoteric and esoteric, dependent
arisings and experiential/noumenal, and so, as I tend
to see it, that kind of "unconditioned reality" (at
least)
seems to me to be essentially beyond all of our
manasic attempts to scientize about it. Not that some
models about ... whatever, aren't useful and helpful,
(obviously enough?), but/"but" ... I thought some
Theosophists had some thoughts about transcending
karma, so ... ^:-) ...
Speculatively,
Mauri
PS ... uh, sorry about scratching my head so often,
but/"but"...
