Theos-Talk Archives (July 2004 Message tt00036)

Dallas, after reading your Jun 2 
"exoteric/esoteric" post, I think I 
might now have some idea, maybe, how 
some people might feel, partly, about 
some of my longer posts.

<<Did you notice the SOHO presentations 
of vibratory waves emanated from our Sun 
-- in 7 different colors -- perhaps, for 
emphasis those are arbitrary 
enhancements, but they indicate at least 
7 chief sources of energy that emanate 
from it? The "esoteric" and hitherto 
unknown, is made patent and exoteric -- 
as an example. Now with that knowledge 
what is to be done with it? I am 
waiting for that -- the use.>>

I don't seem to be all that 
"science-oriented." Of course one choose 
to interpret "esoteric" in various ways.

<<But one thing is indicated, and that 
is:-- that there is in us all a
"Recorder." Psychology has progressed 
far beyond behaviorism and the
reactions to unusual images and 
experiences. Now what is the nature of 
this "Recorder" in us? Is it passive or 
active? If one or both, then is it the
"Real Myself?" Who, or What directs my 
actions and frames my choices for the
future, so that I act in my own personal 
and INDIVIDUAL way?>>

I guess one might choose to interpret 
that there are "karmic" reasons for 
one's behaviours and as a result tend to 
take a back seat in one's affairs, to 
some extent, maybe ... Not that one's 
interpretations about how one might 
transcend such "karmic reasons" might 
not be seen to be "karmic in some 
sense," as well, but ... ^:-/ ...

<<But what esoteric, or occult forces 
and powers are being now exposed? Are
they not found to be inherent in Nature? 
(Already present there, but we did
not know that?) >>

Seems to me that depends on who you ask 
and per what context/sense, so ...

<<Does their presence not show we had 
them there -- Nature provided them, but
we were, up to now, unaware of them? 
Does this relate to the contention
that THEOSOPHY makes that NATURE is the 
TOTAL ENVIRONMENT -- and includes
every aspect of LIFE? And we are only 
one centralizing and reactive aspect,
just one part of that LIFE ? If so, do 
we not have in potential all the
faculties and powers of the ONE WHOLE? >>

So many "potentials"...

<<Let me continue: If we are able to 
"experience and explore," then, "WE" are 
what? A Perceiver, a Witness, a 
Recorder, an Interpreter ? We "exist." 
The experience we are noting is from 
either "outside" as an impression (a
vibration ?) or, it is from "inside" as 
a memory or a creative thought
process. OK so far ? >>

So many "OK's"...


<<Hypnotism in some cases, is able to 
educe memories from a layer of inner,
personal record we don't normally know 
how to access with our will from our
own layers of mental records. Yet, it 
has been proved to be present. What
shall we do with that piece of evidence? 
I think it opens a vista of
investigation. How do we awake the 
"forgotten" impression and make them
evident now? And if we were to secure 
the key to our total memories (and
some seem to be born with that faculty 
-- How and Why?) what would we then
do with them? To have is one thing. To 
use and act, are others.>>

And ... Seems as if there's so many 
possibilities, as if there's no end to 
them. That's why I took up an interest 
in Theosophy, (after first having taken 
an interest in "just being"), by way of 
an attempt to, in a sense, "exoterize" 
or model that "endless impasse" that 
"ordinary reality" seems to be in 
"exoteric terms."

Speculatively,
Mauri

PS I'm speculating about responding to 
more of your post later, maybe, if I get 
around to imagining that the task might 
not be all that looooong, after all ...
