I also wonder if people such as Koot 
Humi and Moreya (sp?) used "m/Master" in 
reference to themselves or others and 
how they might've reacted to being 
called "m/Master."

Really ... ^:-/ ...

Yeah but what if the person who used the 
word "idiot" didn't think of themself as 
a "master," to begin with, and ... I 
mean, seems to me that if somebody 
professes to set themself up as a 
"master," in some esotericy sense, (ie, 
as if esoterics could be literalized and 
as if interpretive/karmic tendencies 
could be magically side stepped as long 
as certain words---like "master"---are 
used along the way ...) ... so seems to 
me that if somebody tried to set 
themself up as a "master," in some 
sense, then that person might want to 
edit their language in a way that might 
be seen to be in keeping with whatever 
"masterly impression" they might want to 
convey, but if KH didn't think of 
himself as a "master to anybody," to 
begin with ... Or can somebody refer me 
to a passage where KH or M is shown to 
say something like: "I am the master and 
you are the idiot"? The interpretation 
that "he as much as said it or implied 
it" is, in my mumble speculative 
ipinion, (or humble speculative opinion 
...), really up for grabs 
inasmuchasif/where (note qualifier/s 
...) certain "case 
particulars/esoterics" might be seen to 
be dependent on interpretive preferences ...

<<as it is the arrogance of attitude 
and haughty cliquish nature of the

separate the Us who know from the ' 
idiot them' in such a disparaging and 
insolent manner. And for what purpose?>>

I suppose there are various 
interpretations for the word "idiot" in 
that particular case/context, whatever 
that might've been seen to be more 
specifically. I wonder who that letter 
might've been addressed to.

Speculatively,
