Dear Jerry:

On p. 200 Vol. 1 of the S D HPB gives a comparison of the
Sephirothal "Tree" to the "Globes" on the 4 lower planes of
Kosmos so as to compare them.

What I was looking for was a statement by her that you know where
to locate which indicates that indicates:

 " 5 Globes in the "Nirvana" above the Abyss"

I am trying to determine whether she said this, (and if so, where
?) or whether it is some construct devised by either AB/CWL (if
so where ? ), or, by

 G de P ( if so, where ? )

I am also aware that trying to make comparisons or to arrange the
schemes of one system in terms of another can be harrying. But
for a student to secure the thought and the pathway used and
review it, as I do, I would like to see that actual text, if
available.

I would like to see what was actually said, if you happen to have
those references handy ? Please share.

Thank you, Dallas
