Re:	re "LAWS," Dallas,Theosophy


Dear Mauri:

Universes, like human beings reincarnate.

Laws are the plans and programs that unite the sequences, so
effect follows cause exactly. It also works for administration
and we call it KARMA.

Its not a matter of our liking or disliking it.-- Law WILL ALWAYS
RULE OVER ALL. AND SUCH A law is not administered by a whimsical
"Personal God" anywhere. By definition a P G is impossible
anyway.

No law = vast chaos and purposelessness.

Best wishes,

Dal

But how is one to interpret "LAWS" in a context that
doesn't lend itself to exoterics other than in whatever
karmic/interpretive/mayavic sense, in that, while there
maybe no shortage of exoteric laws, and while there may
be those who can apply some of those laws in various
individually relevant/interpretive ways (ie, find them
helpful), still those kinds of laws are, in as much as they're
exoteric, essentially mayavic, aren't they? Not that you
didn't know that, already, Dallas? And maybe you knew
that those laws (in as much as they're essentially mayavic)
represent a form of interpretive, apparent applicability, or
path relevance, and so are not related to anything Realer
than that, implying (the way I see it) that those who want
to find out what is really going on would have to
transcend the exoteric laws of karmic/mayavic reality in
some way.

In other words, if a student of Theosophy, eg, can't
conceive of the need to transcend their exoteric studies,
then, as I see it, that student would be missing a keyish
point of Theosophy and the Esoteric Tradition---not that
literal exoteric studies don't have any kind of Theosophic
value, in some sense (one might assume, depending on ...
?), but/"but" ...

Since I'm still at the exoteric stage, myself, I don't seem to
have enough clues about what exactly it might take, in my
case, to transcend karmic laws. Not that I'm suffering
from a shortage of speculative ideas, and not that I
haven't studied Theosophy and the Esoteric Tradition.
You, on the other hand, Dallas ... ? I guess we all tend to
cultivate whatever forms of "studies" (in a broader sense)
that seem most relevant to us.

Speculatively,
Mauri
