Theos-Talk Archives (November 2004 Message tt00102)

Dallas once told me "no more what-ifs." 
The way I tend to see it, it's as if 
Dallas has transcended speculations 
about Theosophical topics at least in 
his own mind. I seem to be at the 
opposite extreme, feeling as if there's 
never any shortage of karma/maya, as if 
there's no point in wholeheartedly 
latching onto any exoteric version 
except conditionally and speculatively, 
in principle. So while I tend to sort 
of look down my nose at any and all 
exoteric versions, at the same time I 
try to keep in mind that some versions 
(like much of Theosophical modeling) 
might come in handy some day. But I 
suppose that kind of approach might seem 
much too slippery for those who seem to 
prefer what they might call "facts" in 
whatever "comparative sense" (one might 
assume ...). Not that there's any 
shortage of and uses for "facts" and 
"comparative facts" in various senses, 
but, the way I see it, a somewhat 
broader approach might be seen to apply 
in some cases, as when discussing 
Theosophically related and "esoteric" 
topics ... ^:-/ ... Anyway I keep 
telling myself that one of these days I 
might find that Masters Revealed book 
and actually read it. Of course if I 
win a lottery I might find it sooner.

Speculatively,
Mauri
