Dear Mauri:

Dear M:

I think you err. Theosophy starts with REALTY ( see the 3
FUNDAMENTALS) The rest is "maya" and constantly changing.

Our minds have to reach out to embrace that SOURCE : REALITY.
If we cannot, then what is the matter with us and our endeavours?
We all sense it, but of course we cannot define it.

But not everyone sees it that way.

Te "title" THEOSOPHIST is usually reserved for the Masters of
Wisdom. We are all STUDENTS of THEOSOPHY

however ....

Having a bite of Reality is what some Theosophists
might prefer, I tend to suspect, but, for whatever
reason, some of them can't quite seem to open their
mouths (transcendentally speaking) far enough,
(apparently?), and so, as I see it, they tend to go on
speculating, or "learning about Theosophy" (as they
might prefer to put it?), instead. Not that there's
anything particularly wrong with "learning," in
general, by way of whatever interpretive and "helpful"
route, but/"but"... ?

Speculatively,
