Keith:  The source from which the words emmanate are from the SOURCE of all
ANCIENT WISDOM including theosophy which is the voice of the silence, one's
inner teacher, experience, higher consciousness itself.  The whole point of
the theosophical movement is away from texts.  Why don't you talk to the
fundamentalists?  They will quote you chapter and verse from all the bibles,
Koran, sutras etc etc.  But all teachers, including HPB have said to test it
with your own consciousness and reject it.  She said this in the PROEM which
I suggest you read, if you haven't. It is quite succient and to the point
that she said nothing original but it came from inspiration and
verification.

Namaste
Keith
