That is very encouraging. Thank you.

I wonder if the occult law is not the magnetic law of like
attracts like.  I have heard it referred to as gunas or quality
of swabhava which draws to itself similar gunas if the current is
strong enough.  I will put it out there and wait and see what
eventuates.  Already someone else in the Lodge who is also on the
"New Zealand" :-) lecture circuit has come up with some ideas.
We have a very active Polytechnic here and it has a wing called
C.E.S that hold courses in life enhancement sort of activities
and Hazel teaches some drama and speech courses there so we will
pursue that avenue.

 From all I've heard of Bee's work, it sounds very impressive.  I
remember words from a Master's letter that I think speaks for all
of us on THEOSOPHY WORLD (though I don't have the exact wording),
"He who does all he can and the best that he knows, does enough
for US."

Thank you again for your kind words.  I do what I can to further
the cause and if I can listen closely enough within, I may catch
on to what I am asked to do.  There is another saying that I
cannot remember the exact words to either but something like,'if
only one person's life has been touched and changed by my
presence, then I will have done enough'.
