To me, "believe" seems like a strong
word in that context, but I think I'm
tending to speculate along the lines
that some "esoteric things" might be at
times somewhat "better understood," in
some cases, when "speculated about
conditionally/imputationally with
possible help/input from intuition,
maybe," rather than "believed in
flatly/literally, per se" (as if
karmic/interpretive influences could be
magically dispensed with ...) ... So
while I'm tending to find KH's comments
generally more interesting than
Sinnet's, (in a sense, maybe ...), I
don't see why I should jump to
conclusions or belief structures about
"esoteric things" that seem to be
somewhat beyond my direct/er
experiences, to begin with. I tend to
find Sinnet's efforts to "communicate
with the Masters" using hyphnosis
somewhat odd inasmuchas or especially
as/if he knew about the dangers or
drawbacks that hypnosis might involve
(among other things ...). A. Cleather,
for one, might have influenced by
speculating on that topic.
Speculatively,
Mauri
