RE: re Dallas and laws

Dear Mauri:

Try saying the same thing in regard to mathematics, physics, chemistry,
engineering. Are the rules and laws discovered there usable because they
are invariable or does pliability interfere? 

Where does pliability arise? 

If you sense a difference, then what precisely is it?

Are "laws" variables or is it that we are the variables (in our attitudes
and mind-sets) and tend to see things as we please?

Of these several conditions, what this the ideal? What will serve us as
well as others the best?

Best wishes.

Dallas

But if the reality/truth of laws is seen 
to have an inseparable relationship or 
dependence on one's worldview, and if 
that worldview, itself, is thought to be 
karmic/mayavic in contrast to Beness (or 
even in contrast to some other planes 
...), then seems to me that humans might 
be seen to have various laws by way of 
various traditions and karma. And so, 
as I tend to see it, the reality/truth 
of such laws might be seen to be 
entirely dependent on interpretive or 
imputational or "karmic factors based on 
apparent conditions" rather than on 
"stand-alone" (quotes per esoterics) 
Intrinsic Reality. In other words, as I 
tend to see it, (and as Dallas might not 
tend to see it?), various laws have 
their uses and truths and reality 
directly proportional to how 
"relational" (per whatever 
interpretive/karmic bias) they might, or 
do, appear to be, per whatever 
sense/context, plane or worldview. Not 
that students of Theosophy in general 
might not profess to "knowing about 
Maya," and "knowing about" how 
"relational things" in general (in terms 
of worldviews, or whatever) might be 
"additionally seen" to have a "Mayavic 
aspect"... ("selective" quotes per 
interpretive variants). Not that one 
might not want to give some thought to 
working/thinking within ones "apparent 
limits" ("obviously enough" ...)...
