Theos-Talk Archives (October 2003 Message tt00163)

Dallas, you finished off your last post with: 
<<When invisible thought is made visible by 
words or sounds to another, then it becomes 
exoteric -- no longer"self-contained," but 
exposed to review and criticism or help in 
improving it.Can you help? Best wishes, Dallas>>

Dallas, in case my earlier posts about 
"exoteric/esoteric" didn't do much for you 
(and, one way of another, many, if not all, 
of my posts seem to me be revolving around an 
"exoteric/esoteric" theme, in some sense or 
another, seems to me), how about Gerald's 
last post of Oct 15/03 on Theosophy Study 
List? Did that post "help," one might wonder 
about people in general (ie, needless to say, 
"help" as per whatever interpretive 
configuration) ...

I tend to be in agreement with the HPB quotes 
and Gerald's comments in that post from 
Gerald (today on TSL) that I just finished 
reading before reading yours, Dallas, on 
bn-study and Theos Talk. But I'll probably 
be re-reading your post, Dallas, trying to 
figure out some way of "answering it 
helpfully," (ie, seeing as my karmic tendency 
seems to often enough tend to direct me, as I 
see it, toward whatever kind of "help-making" 
that, to me, at least, seems "applicable 
enough," for whatever reason, "for better or 
worse"). I wonder if I should add: sorry 
about all those quotes and qualifiers, among 
other things, but/"but" ... And sorry about 
being confusing. One might wonder (as in my 
case) if Gerald's post of today (on Theosophy 
Study List) was also confusing (to whoever), 
among other things ... Not that various kinds 
of "confusions" (and maybe even confusions 
without too many quotes or qualifiers?) are 
not often the name of the game on this plane 
and on these lists.

Best wishes,
Mauri
