Wry, I read your Fri post " Transcendence" with 
interest. I was going to ask you about which Wry 
wrote it (since I thought some of those earlier Wry 
posts seemed kind of curious, in a way, or curioser), 
but had second thoughts. After all, what kind of silly 
question is that to ask, eh?! I might as well ask which 
Mauri is writing this post, so I won't ask! After all, 
don't we all keep on evolving, or at least heading in 
some kind of direction, or something like that ... Not 
that I'll stop speculating about ... whatever, though.

If "understanding" (as "understanding," itself, might 
be somewhat generally "understood" or exoterized 
about on this plane) is "understood" as being karmic 
and materialistic, then seems to me that both "hope" 
and "no hope," as karmic/materialistic variations, 
might be "understood" in karmic/materialistic terms, so 
I would tend to prefer to use the word "intuit," instead 
(in place of "until you understand this"), maybe 
adding that there might be forms of intuition that 
might somewhat by-pass (in some sense ...) some of the 
usual in-your-face exoterics ... 

To me, Dallas's writings seem geared toward "more 
conventional" minds. Not that "less conventional" 
minds can't make use of those writings, in some ways, 
possibly ... But the use of "no hope," in that context, 
might be somewhat too drastic, in a way, maybe ... 
Not that I particularly want to make more karma, here, 
by commenting this way, but/"but"...

Speculatively,
Mauri
