Theosophy and anomalies part 2

Seems to me we might all be gnomons, in a sense, distinguishing (ie, per whatever karmic/interpretive or "apparent" paths) various levels of t/True and s/Secondary (not that I'm ruling out whatever "True and Secondary" there may be in whatever "more-trancendental sense") ... But "Maya and Karma" in terms of "u/Ultimately" seem, to me, (speculatively speaking, of course ...or maybe I should say: just speculatively speaking, of course ... Not that ...)... sorry---so "Maya and Karma" in terms of "u/Ultimately" seem, to me, still "Maya and Karma," basically, so they might seem to have "limit and habitation," in whatever sense; so if "the fact that it exists" (whatever "it" might be ...) is seen in terms of "distinguishing the True from the Secondary" ... (though I seem to find myself wondering about the nature of "True from the Secondary" in "more-specific terms"---not that I'm saying that such "wondering" might not necessarily lend itself to some kind of apparent Secondariness, for all I know, in some cases, maybe, at some point ...) So, in other words, if I could transcend "karma" ... where the quotes refer to my suspicion that I don't, or, in effect (...), "might not really-enough know all that much about" the meaning of that word (as if I could use quotes all that selectively, and still make "sense"... ^:-/ ...) ... then, maybe ... w/Whatever.

And maybe there are those who (?) might see themselves as having spent, or as spending Manvantara's being largely preoccupied with being whatever "effect point" of whatever considerations/agreements and apparent "fixed/plastic idea's" about the thoughts/actions/spiritualities of whatever "Secondary Phantoms of reality" in terms of those having (apparently?) no "essentially Real Reality" (or in terms of those as "somewhat lacking Real-enough Reality," maybe, to some extent, maybe, in some cases ...) in terms of "Non-Dual Original Nature," or w/Whatever ... But surely one might wonder, at some point, what might've, in effect, "brought one" (in whatever sense) to such karmic Manavantarics in the first place, and ... Aren't we all intending to become enlightened so that we might get a Broader perspective about things beyond karma/maya?

I did some googling on the "glowing rock" topic, etc , but I seem to be so saturated with subjects dealing with various kinds of anomalies, that, well ... ^:-/ ... Though not continuously, I've been reading about anomalies for about the last forty years, strangely enough. But I seem to be thinking that there might be something in Theosophy (not that ...) that might play a role in helping one toward some kind of clues toward whatever that might, in effect, help one to sort of "understand"/transcend not just anomalies, but maybe much of "karmic life" in general (including, even, some of speculativeness, maybe)... Not that I'm necessarily saying that I know enough or have experienced enough of "karmic life" (per whatever definition ...?), mind you, although ... ^:-/ ... "Although" what? "Although" as in gnomonizing between True and Secondary, maybe ... ^:-/ ... But if "gnomonizing" is meant in the sense of Knowing, on the other hand, as opposed to knowing (small k)... then I suppose one might want to define something about the sense in which one is referring to (cap K) "Knowing"... And seeing as, in my case, my "k/Knowings" seem to be rather essentially dualistic, regular fare, I would think that that might pretty much let me off the hook as far as any kind of defininig might be concerned as having the benefit of any kind significant enough "less-dualistic" experience---(ie, "defining" at least in hindsight, maybe, by way of whatever "exoteric version," maybe ... ^:-/ ...). Not that I'm saying that I necessarily "know enough" about what "significant enough" might be in that context. And not that I'm saying my reasoning in this post hasn't been circular, kind of, but/"but" ... ^:-/ ... one "tries" (ie, whatever that might mean).

Speculatively,
Mauri
