I think you've got it. (Although you let it fool you in this instance :-)

Actually, it's the "middle" brain (Corpus Collosum) that can see everything 
from the inside out and outside in, simultaneously, and can combine "images" 
with "words" so that they make sense to that center of intuitive (or "middle") 
mental consciousness that is above (both within and without) the Left-right 
brain (along with all its neurological connections) -- that is nothing more than 
an electrical transponder (or transceiver) for purposes of (with the help of 
the "middle" brain) translating those "things" (connected with our sensory 
mechanisms as well as our perception and will) into formless forms of pure 
"ideation" that the higher mind (linked in the middle as part of the triune monad) 
can comprehend as fundamental truths, ideas, or things in themselves, rather 
than illusions. 

Unfortunately, unless our higher intuitive nature that is neither in or out, 
up or down, over or under, higher or lower, etc., is connected with our middle 
brain -- which is the physical link between the right and the left brains -- 
I guess that the above profundity is as clear as mud. <\':o)> 

BTW, the way to make this connection, one must not be either here nor there, 
but everywhere, must examine things from all directions, and must consider 
opposites as being both sides of a single reality with infinite possibilities for 
change (in between) from one to the other. Fundamentally, it all begins with 
and depends on the law of cycles modified (and sometimes frozen in apparent 
but temporary knots of changlessness) by the natural laws of inertia, motion, 
and harmony. 

How does this apply to our everyday understanding of true reality, and how to 
deal with its illusions? Why not ask your "middle" brain (with the help of 
your "middle" mind) to show (and tell) you? :-) We could also look up in the 
writings of HPB where she spoke about the linking of the twin hemispheres. 
(Maybe Dallas might have the references.)

I wonder what makes you think Mauri wrote that? Funny how things get 
scrambled up when they are taken out of context. Maybe you should re read 
(as in reed) the entire correspondence, including the quotes. Thanks for the
kudos, anyway. ;o)

Mauri. LOL :O) 
------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
Mauri, 
Uh... Thanks for your explanation. I think I got what you were speculating 
about. Although, I'm not too sure -- since I have a hard time dealing with 
duality's such as esoteric-exoteric, light-dark, up-down, in-out, or words 
with different meanings linked with brackets, etc. 

Actually, I'm mostly a right brained thinker (although I use my left brain to 
write such thoughts down) and see most things in both linear and non linear 
terms of multidimensional or multilayered pictures or images (actually, from 
three [or more] opposing points of view rather than two as most people do). 

Obviously, the triangles being the first forms or things start with 
trinities, 
then transform to quaternaries, and finally add up as sevenfold -- rather
than as duality's. For example, I can't think of up and down, or in and out,
etc., without adding "in-between" or "in the middle"... Nor, can I see dark or
light without imagining another state of vision which is neither dark nor 
light. 
Also, I see the universe as being both empty and full, as well as every 
degree 
of some-things in between -- all interconnected by rigorous laws of inertia 
or inaction, motion or action, and harmony or balance. In addition, I can't
imagine esoteric or exoteric teachings or truths without considering 
unexplainable learning's or intuitive truths. 

So, you see, I have a hard time dealing with people who speculate between 
one thing and another, or see things as either black or white. In fact, I 
guess 
you could say that my seeming "multiplicity" comes from my using a sort
of fuzzy logic in everything I think about or do. This sort of logical 
thinking 
depends on seeing things that are apparenty separate or opposite as 
inherently 
connected. Since, duality's cannot stand alone -- whenever discussions get 
down to considering or speculating about opposites, or take opposite sides on
a particular question, I see the "in-betweens" (in all their different 
shadings) 
as the only true reality (that needs no speculation about to understand).
For example. It's an absolute fact that the first "real" number, or geometric
form, had to be 3 -- since, when the universe was 1 or 2, it could have no 
form. 
And, those two numbers (like zero and infinity) are not essentially real as 
things in themselves. That is, they do not exist until the 3 or triple form 
(either triangular or spherical) appears all at once.

Thus, speculating (about theosophical ideas) in dualistic or monistic terms, 
has no real meaning for me -- since the fundamental monad or first "being" 
had to be triune in nature... As would every being or form subsequently. 
And, 
every theosophical truth can be tested against, and must be consistent with 
the three fundamental principles. Thus, in my language, there are no ifs, 
ands 
or buts (with or without quotes :-)... But, there are, either, or, and 
another. 

(Although, neither are speculative -- since they either are, or they are not 
-- or they are neither.) I hope this clears everything up for you.

Non speculatively (for the moment),

Leon
