Dear Mauri:

Why don't you take a shot at defining the esoteric and the exoteric?

You like the word and I suppose, the idea. But what are they?

Who can see both? Or are they "supposes?" 

Choose a subject, and try ... 

Here's hoping

Subject: re "black and white"

G<<Well, I won't accuse you of being too 
black and white. :-)>>

Hey, Thanks, Gerald. Seems like a nice 
compliment, in a way, I think, maybe, if 
... ^:-/ ... Not that I'm not wondering 
what you might mean "more specifically,"
in whatever sense. Not that "more- 
specifically in whatever sense" might 
not tend to be a somewhat on-going or 
somewhat common concern, on way or 
another, for some people, maybe, but ...
Seems to me that if it weren't for 
various "more specificallys," we might 
not have much in the way of Theosophics, 
so ... Not that I don't have notions 
about what you "might mean." But 
inasmuchasif ... And I suspect that our 
various notions/exoterics about "black 
and white," or duality, in general, 
might be seen as the culprits, in a 
sense (not that I might not be seen to 
be reaching here), that might seen in 
the sense of basics or principles that 
might be seen, in a sense, as having led 
to our mayavic, grayscale wolrldviews.

Anyway, I'm trying to get back to some 
other recent posts, so if we don't get 
too preoccupied by this "black and 
white" topic, among other things ... 
^:-/ ... Not that ...

Speculatively,
Mauri

PS Sometimes I tend to suspect that, 
instead of reading a few paragraphs, you 
might tend to launch off on a particular 
sentence or part of a sentence before 
you even find out what my qualifiers 
might be. So as I'm reading your 
response I might tend to feel somewhat 
frustrated, wondering if you even got 
around to my qualifiers. Well, not that 
my qualifiers are meant in some kind of 
"black and white" sense, so ... but ... 
^:-/ ... Sorry, I'm just muttering to 
myself here, sort of, I think, in a 
sense ...
