Seems to me that that word "applicability" could (if somewhat tangentially ... ^:-/) be seen in terms of a b/Broader definition ... or how about in terms of applications per "b/Broader" notions ... ^:-/ ... Or something like that ...

I seem to be thinking that much of "aliveness" per "the human perspective" might be seen/"seen" ("seen per" "basics re" "applicability"...) ... might be seen in terms of what might be called (if somewhat tangentially) as "its essential applicability:" eg, in Theosophy there is "karma," which might be seen, seems to me, in terms of "basic" ("partly karmic"...) notions re "applicability" in terms of "where we're at" in terms of "our understanding" in terms of a number of other interpretive, thematic versions, models, worldviews, Theosophies, etc, each of which, seems to me, could be seen to have a common, binding "aspect re applicability in terms of understanding" and in terms of such as "aliveness, in general" (though "aliveness" might be seen to have a somewhat b/Broader applicability, in general, than various "more specific" forms of "understandings" ...).

In other words, in as much as the human aspect or function of thinking or "understanding" is seen to bind/create reality content in, say, "karmic terms" or "per karmic influences" (with whatever intermediating, interpretive, "human" aspects re "Chaos" and "free will," say ...), and in as much as if "human nature" is seen to involve (per karmic/interpretive mediumship) reality content that would be seen, essentially, as "in relation to human reality," then, seems to me, such "relationality" or "linking by perception/interpretation/karma," could be seen as being "essentially applicable" (ie, whether we choose to call that kind of applicability "Karmic," "Mayavic," "Theosophic," or whatever).

I seem to suspect that what we humans call "seeing" might be seen to amount to that "seeing" or "sense of reality" because of the "essentially applicable" ("karmic") "nature" (per "thinking") of such experiencing/seeing, as if we humans, in general, were bound in a way that "applies to us specifically," or bound, that is, "karmically" (isn't the word karma synonymous with notions about "what applies"...).

And so I tend to suspect that the Esoteric Tradition and Theosophy are essentially applicable features within "human," karmic reality, that the ET/T are promoting ways and means by which humans might transcend the nature of such "apparent applications" or "apparent reality."

In other words, if I remember correctly, even mainstream science seems to have "proved" that, at the "most sub-atomic" levels (ie, in "bottom-line terms," as it were ...), the viewer has an effect on the viewed. So if that "effect" were viewed as "applicable" re ... whatever ...

Speculatively,
Mauri
