I tend to suspect that the nidanic 
(Hinayanic; see SD I page 38) "karmic 
tendency" of people in general is, in effect, 
to "exoterize" their dualistic, mayavic 
environment to the extent that various kinds 
of belief systems and elaborate "theoretical" 
and "real" models/paradigms have become "real 
over time." In other words, as long as that 
kind of "exotericism" (in terms of "reality 
making") is catered to, whether in the name 
of Theosophy, or otherwise, then there will 
be no end of duality (or "essential duality") 
for such people, in basic terms, I suspect. 
Of course, on the other hand ... Not that ... 
That is, there would seem to be no end of 
"other hands" and "not that's" on this 
particular karmc/mayavic plane, as I tend to 
see it, so I tend to suspect that as long as 
there are "Theosophists" who continue to 
split "Monads," even, and continue on as if 
Theosophy were exoteric and "essentially 
dualistic," then there will be no end of 
whatever "good/bad and in between" such 
people may "karmically create over time."

Speculatively,
Mauri

PS Okay, how about "no end" at least not 
"any time soon" ... Or maybe I have it all
wrong: maybe a manvantara just SEEMS like a 
long time ... Hmm ...
