She seems to have been one of the most 
ambitious people there ever were ... 
Seems to me as if she wanted to have her 
cake and, at the same time, wanted it in 
the fridge, in that she admitted she was 
offering an "exoteric version," didn't 
she ... so that, in effect, seems to me 
she was keeping the "esoteric version" 
(as it were) in the fridge (in as much 
as it could not be exoterized, or 
consumed exoterically or "normally" or 
dualistically) while offering the 
"exoteric version" as if it were the 
real cake that people could really eat 
or make use of (ie, "applicably enough," 
as it were) ... That, seems to be, 
spells ambition of a kind that, to me, 
seems very interesting, basically.
