Seems to me like oragono might be trying to 
prove/unify String Theory (or something 
similar to String Theory, maybe ...) with 
words instead of equations ... I say that 
because I've been speculating about what 
seems to me might be a kind of "possible 
unifying principle," in a sense, maybe (if by 
way of somewhat esotericy, "circular," 
"confusing" "reasoning," unfortunately) 
between the Esoteric Tradition and the likes 
of String Theory and Leon's ABC's, but I seem 
to have gotten nowhere for the most part no 
matter how many qualifiers and "confusing" 
sentence structures I try on for size. 
Incidentally, Leon used the words "confusing" 
and "circular." That wasn't my idea. Aside 
from the usual few spelling mistakes and 
slight grammatical errors, I think my posts 
are all at least written in English, so I've 
been trying to figure out what all the fuss 
might be about "more specifically."

In other words, I tend to find oragano's 
posts as offering a sort of Zen-related 
perspective on our exoteric reality in 
general, in that, no matter how exoterics are 
phrased, they're still, as I see it, exoteric 
and, in that sense, circular, confusing, 
essentially unsatisfying at least in the 
longer run (ie, not that I see my posts as 
essentially anything different, but/"but"...) 
If I understand correctly, some Zen monks get 
hit with their masters stick if their 
comments to the master are, in a sense, "too 
exoteric." So, in a sense, as I see it, some 
of oragano's posts could be seen, 
alternatively, as kind of like Zen slaps with 
words.
