re "introception" and Leon and ...

I think I prefer "just being," not that ... What do I mean by "not that ..."? As in "Theosophy," say, in a sense.

<<That is the only way to be perceptively (experientially) aware of ones own unadulterated consciousness (in contrast to mere conceptual or introspective awareness of the mental contents of consciousness).>>

Except for the "that is" "and ..." I tend to agree, in a sense. Another "not that ..." might "help," or something, maybe ... ? I don't know. Just speculating here. Or, in a sense, to an extent, how about: "my karma is speculating, not that ... " ... ?

<<"Self realization" or "enlightenment" (directly experienced knowledge of one's individual self as a direct ray of the universal Self) -- the goal of theosophical study and meditation (on the reflective mind empty of all thought forms) -- is the direct result of such introception. The practice to gain this
state of wisdom (after comprehension of the metaphysical knowledge explained in the SD) is taught by Patanjali, and further clarified in the Voice of the Silence.>>

There seem to be so many explanations. No end to explanations, apparently. But if all explanations are exoteric, to begin with ... Not that some explanations can't be helpful, in some ways, maybe, for some people, so ... Oops, but I'm being circular again. Sorry.

PS On second thought, seeing as I tend to suspect that I might've been seen to have been somewhat too circular, among other things, already in this post, (with more to come ...), I think I'll try posting this on a different list, like Theos Talk, maybe, as well ... Well, whatever. Not that ...

PPS ...

PPPS That preceding PPS was, in a sense, my speculative version (just in "exoteric terms," of course) "in keeping with all possible contingencies," sort of, intentionally, speculatively, so (not that ...) ... Of couse, on the other hand, needless to say, in as much as we're in karma/maya, here, well ... ^:-/ ... ha, ha, what can I say ...

PPPPS Sorry. I thought I might've had in mind to say something worth while in this PPPPS spot, but I seem to have forgotten what it was ... Whatever it might've been, in as much as it might've been seen to have an exoteric aspect to it, (among other things, maybe ...), well ... Not that ...

PPPPPPPS Sorry about all the head scratching. I'm trying to turn over some kind of newer leaf, mind you, but, in the meanwhile ... ^:-/ ... I guess I might be experiencing growing pains, or something like that, maybe ... At least I'm speculating that I might be growing, instead of shrinking. On the other hand, if "growing" and "shrinking" are both to be transcended along with karma and maya, well ... ^:-/ ... I guess I'm just sort of talking "basically," speculatively, I think, in a sense, not that ...
