Somebody wrote to me privately about "monad,"
with small m. Why not comment on the discussion
list, whichever one that might've been?
>From my speculative perspective: "dualistic" (or
"multiplistic" of "ordinary reality") concepts about
"monad" cannot formulate what might be called the
"esoteric/experiential reality" of "m/Monad," and so
the exoteric (or
translated/interpretive/karmaic/"law-abididing")
"version" tends to be (apparently?) "tri-partite"
(atma/buddhi/manas), or whatever ...
Geoffrey A. Barborka in his "H.P. BLAVATSKY,
TIBET AND TUKU" had some interesting
comments (seemed to me) about the interlapping
nature of aspects of reality (as per the "7 principle"}
in that, for example, apparently "one" of such
"principles" was withheld from HPB (in whatever
sense!) as assurance (apparently?) that she would
not pass on ... whatever ... so, apparently that
"withholding" (if it can be called that) resulted in a
certain kind of personality change in HPB
(accounting for some of her temper, maybe?) ... but,
seems that (according to my interpretation of
Barborka) the 7 principles (atma, buddhi, manas,
etc) interblend, and might be affected (even
manipulated, as in HPB's case?) in subtle ways,
(resulting, in turn, in various karmaic
"interpretations" ?)...
Speculatively,
Mauri
