If you assume that "to speculate is to 
assume" then, as I see it, you are 
assuming/interpreting (per whatever dependent 
arisings) something or other about what I 
mean by my qualifiers, "speculativeness," 
etc. As I see it, my posts are partly about 
the "senses"/perspectives in which I 
"speculate" or "think for myself," as it 
were. And, as is beconing more and more 
obvious, seems to me, I don't seem to be, in 
general, getting some of my keyish points 
across apparently because of my "excessive" 
qualifiers, among other things. And yet 
there are some people out there on these 
lists with whom my "qualifiers," among other 
things, seem to have gone over fairly okay, 
apparently, seems to me, based on their 
responses. So, I say again, how one 
interprets qualifiers and "speculativeness," 
in general, is, as I see it, up to each 
individual. For example, I have corresponded 
with some people on Theosophy Study List 
fairly smoothly for a fairly long stretch. 
So maybe it's just that some people might be 
somehow "karmically more like- minded," or 
something like that ... But I seem to be 
thinking (in other words, "speculating"), 
that, with enough qualifiers, and whatever, 
I might be able to break through some of 
those karmic, or whatever, blocks, 
eventually, and so I seem to be, from another 
perspective, wanting to persist in banging my 
head (in effect ... ^:-/ ...) against so many 
brick walls, apparently. Obviously that kind 
of thing is just as much "my problem," in a 
sense, so, sorry about that.

Yes, apparently my attempts at being 
"applicable enough" haven't gone over too 
well ... You seem to have a point there.

Milk? I can't stand the stuff. As for 
"right time" ... well, I'll speculate (think) 
some more about that.

I think it might be kind of all over and 
under and in between and ...

Speculatively, thinkingly (about truth, etc),
