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

PS or "karmic," if you like
