Dear Pam:

Well I did not do much more than stringing several good
"quotations" together without the quotation marks.  The way in
which the comments that I read were phrased appeared valuable to
me, so I put them down and cannot take much credit for using them
as "my own."  "Thus have I heard .............."            Dal.

>> If we carefully examine our lives and thoughts we will soon

the

the

and

of

a

presence,
>> and for our present relation to it.   It assumes that the same
>> Laws pertain to it as to ourselves and that there is a uniform

>> Let us start with the idea that everything we see (externally)
is

>> expressions are then from "within-outward." Our "inner sight"
>> gives us access to anything in nature, a full comprehension of

the

all

>> To perfect this divine faculty the aspirant can be neither

any

unselfishly
>> one works for his fellow men, and divests himself of the
>> illusionary sense of personal isolation, the more he is free
from
>> Maya (illusion), and the nearer he approaches Divinity."
>>
>> In all Theosophic teaching there is an endeavor to raise the
>> intuition by presenting universal principles, processes and
>> analogies.  If those are recognized and applied each one can
>> secure consistent answers to his questions.  "As above, so
>> below."
