Quoting from Katinka's post:

<<<<Fourth: I think the Mahatma Letters should be 
taken as a whole. The Mahatmas corrected mistakes 
from previous letters, for instance. So that all in all they 
form a very interesting body of material. As I 
think HPB said: occultists will usually be right in 
generalities, while in details they may be wrong. Read 
from that perspective, I think these letters can be highly 
interesting. Still, as HPB also said:

>> Collected Writings VOLUME XI, p. 466, October, 
1889 >> I speak "with absolute certainty" only so far as 
my own personal belief is concerned. Those who have 
not the same warrant for their belief as I have, would 
be very credulous and foolish to accept it on blind 
faith. Nor does the writer believe any more than her 
correspondent and his friends in any "authority" let 
alone "divine revelation"! >>>>

In other words (?), in terms of "ordinary reality," (or in 
karmic, exoteric, dualistic/multiplistic, conditional 
"reality terms"---not that I have lots of other kinds of 
"terms" that I could draw on, here, exactly, like an ace 
out of my sleeve, but ... or maybe but/"but" ... ^:-) ... so, 
anyway, in terms of "ordinary reality," when "we" 
(quotes "just in case," eh ... ?---not that ...), so, anyway, 
in terms of "ordinary reality," when "we," in general, 
"speak with absolute certainty" (as compared to HPB 
and ...), if that's done in the kind of "essentially 
conditional (karmic/exoteric) terms" on which "the 
generally-perceived appearance" or "nature" of our 
reality (or "reality") is based, then, "I'm thinking," 
surely we can all "basically" (if somewhat 
conditionally?) "tend to agree" (say?) that even our 
various "absolute certainties" (in their karmic/exoteric 
sense, at any rate?) might have "essentially relative" (as 
well as essentially Mayavic) value in "a Broader (as 
well as a cap M Mayavic) sense" (ie, even though such 
a reality may seem to be, "realistically speaking," "all 
we have to go by, very apparently") ... That "Broader 
sense" being (possibly, in some cases, in terms of 
"ordinary reality" and "the average kind of 
person"?---not that ...) a product of whatever 
speculative outcomes that may have been seen to 
(interpretively/alternately) arise out of "intuitiveness" 
(although "intuitiveness" might be seen as "another 
subject," I suspect, in that, apparently [?], there are 
many kinds of it, so ...) ...

Speculatively,
Mauri

PS Anyway, that was another one of my attempts to 
sort of "write between the lines." Not that ...
