I tend to suspect that most humans might occasionally 
or often tend to be informed---ie, might "learn from," for 
"better or worse," from whatever perspective, by 
whatever they interpret as having whatever "b/Broader" 
meaning, whether they might "prefer" to call such 
informing "t/Theosophical studies," or whatever else, so 
... But ("of course"?) if one's "Theosophical studies"... 
ie, in "more-specific," delineated, "exoteric/esoteric" 
cap T terms are seen as "specific enough" towards, say, 
"at least expanding one's worldview" (by whatever 
individualistic, interpretive route), then ... couldn't that 
kind of "essentially interpretive" processing be seen (in 
some cases, as per some "students of Theosophy," say?) 
as the karma/maya (that might be seen to be?) at the 
back of of such studies/informing (ie, while also seen as 
"informative") ... so that, in effect, couldn't one's 
"Theosophic sense" (say?) of "broader reality" (by 
whatever karmic, interpretive, but 
"more-specific/relevant" route) tend to boil down to a 
sense that all karmic/mayavic "exoteric" learning, no 
matter how Theosophic or "i/Involved," is Mayavic (ie, 
"Mayavic" in a "transcendental," cap M sense...) in the 
sense that in it's exoteric/outward sense none of it "is" 
(ie, as per one's "intuitiveness") part of what is really 
happening, (or, say, "Really happening," if one prefers 
a cap R as an indication of an "intended reference" re 
esoteric/experiential "Reality," maybe ... ) ... ?

Speculatively,
