Mauri,

I would try to reply to your two postings but
I am not at all sure exactly what your point
is in relationship to the subject matter of
the original post.

Could you clarify what you are trying to
present?

Yes I purposely refrained from commenting about which side of which tracks or trends I might see myself as even speculatively standing on because, to my way of speculating, it's as if there's an Abyss between the various interpretetive trends re Theosophy out there. Seems to me as if there might be some people out there who, while having taken some sort of interest in Theosophy, might nevertheless have a closer affinity with some sort of what might be called "orthodox/literal religious views" ("comparatively speaking" ...)---though one might not want to lose sight of various interpretive overlaps, on the other hand, or same hand ... Anyway, the way I tend to see it, if it weren't for those "overlaps," (however interpretive/variable and challenging they might seem, at times), I don't see how there would be much point in having a public discussion list on the topic of Theosophy. And while we humans might not generally be able to read each other's minds and hearts about which side of which "more specific" interpretive trends we might be standing on, in all cases, (speculatively or otherwise), I tend to see a kind of hope out there, and I keep speculating that that hope might play some sort of role in bridging some gaps between the "literal/orthodox" interpretive tendencies, on the one hand ("comparatively speaking"...), and the "more intuitive/gnostic/esoteric" interpretive tendencies on the other hand. We humans generally seem to keep on "trying," at least, one way of another, for better or worse, so ...
