Hi Leon,
Most of what you write goes so far over my head that I would not even
know where to start with asking questions. The below at least read
like English - so I could ask some questions.

Katinka:
True enough - as Mauri's posts seem as vague to me as yours do.
Reading them is usually useless for me.

Katinka:
I agree to the latter. Don't know what you refer to before that.

Katinka:
agree once again.

Katinka:
Sure - Don't see the difference. How do you see them as different?
The below gives me an inkling - a feel for the difference in your
eyes, but the idea is rather new for me. I've always seen them as the
same, sort of.

Katinka:
That looks like an interesting definition of unconditioned. But it
doesn't make any sense to me, though the part about Krishna does.

Katinka:
I'm sure this means something to you, but you lose me with every
breath. I think if you explain the sentence about unconditioned
reality being the noumenal root of the phenominal universe - I might
see it better. That sentence seems to be the core matter of the above
paragraph. After that you lose me totally.

Katinka:
That makes sense. But since I don't understand what you are saying at
all - I can't apply it to any level of genesis.
Rereading the above, with my comments I think it comes down to the
following question: What do you mean by "the unconditioned"?
Best wishes,
Katinka
