Many thanks for the quote.  It is amusing and says a lot! Turned
up the article and found it most interesting........."where it is
affirmed [in 'The Theosophist'] in the clearest manner that the
7th and 6th principles, the Divine Monad and its vehicle, the
*spiritual soul* (which makes a unity), are immortal,
indestructable and *infinite.*" This truly is a *Universal*
Brotherhood.
