Well, now there are available examples of what should be asked for because
of St. Germain. I don't think it's fair to compare what was advised of
Sinnett as he is only one man. St. Germain has given out directions for
"the masses," and we do make requests, demands, and definite affirmations
concerning what we would like accomplished. We use his own words which were
given to us, so it's nothing trite or demeaning.
