Dear Sirish:
Again the message I desired to send you seems to have vanished, but I
recovered it from "deleted messages !" so now I am sending it as an
"attachment."
It is probably only partial and I will have to look carefully to see if I
omitted considering something. I just tried to make some obvious
corrections, but find that I cannot enter the document to make changes, so
bear with me if it is full of typos which are unintentional.
But I am sending this to you so that there will be less of a time gap.
all the best to you for the seasonal change
Dallas

Dear Sirish:
Your message is understood, and in view of the slightly different =
sources
we use there are bound tobe some differences of word usage. I find this =
so
often is seeking to adjust my thoughts to what othes say.
My sources ar the original books and articles of Mme. H P B. Also I =
have
found the writings of W Q Judge to be in line with hers and in some =
cases
he explains what she says very well -- so that the "doors" are opened a
little wider. I do not know if you ar familiar with his writings at =
all.
I wroteof the 7 "principles"each being 7-fold. Hence in each of them =
there
is an aspect of all the others. Taken as a whole it would seem to be =
the
basis for the living consciousness at any one time, place or situation.
I will write this as I have understood the doctrines from what HPB =
writes:
If we assume that ATMA-BUDDHI-MANAS [ the One in Three ] is the immortal
Being, the Higher Self being ATMA-BUDDHI, and MANAS being the link to =
the
transcient personality in any one life, then when the life force (an =
aspect
of karma) reaches the end for that personality it dies, and all the =
organs
resolve themselves back into their component atoms and return to nature =
to
be used elsewhere for a while (still under karma, as even during life =
there
is this constant revolution of the "life-atoms" entering and leaving the
body constantly.
But what regulates them ? Is it not the force of individual and =
personal
karma coupled ?
