Re: shells and monads in Theosophy ...

Seems to me that "sense making" in various senses could be seen as a kind of monadizing or unifying activity or approach inasmuch as it's seen in the sense of an interpretive activity with the objective of creating "workable models" as if they could be "sufficiently defined within whatever reality/truth parameters" as if notions about Maya were irrelevant during such defining, life making, worldview making, sense making, as if such theoretics/worldviews amounted to real or "real enough" shell-like modules. I'm not saying that such worldview-making doesn't amount to or involve something "real enough" (ie, "obviously enough I'm here," still worldviewing/speculating, aren't I ... ^:-/ ...), but seems to me that belief structures on this planet, in general, might be seen in terms of representing "karmic/mayavic" shell-like/protective structures (or "monadics," in a sense) and reifications that Theosophy might define as "karmic," and so seems to me that what's known as as a human tendency to "worldview" or "make sense" (per whatever interpretive tendency) might be alternately seen/interpreted as being (somewhat interestingly ...) allied to the apparent (exoteric/mayavic/pluralistic/misleading) "monads" of Theosophy---though "monad," by definition, is supposed to be Unitary, isn't it, to begin with, so ... ^:-/ ...

Speculatively,
Mauri
