Vaivasvata Manu communicated
message to your chosen
prophet? You seriously believe
this?
No, this message sounds like
communications from Hercules. No!
Wait! The vibration is more
akin to the Goddess Chastity.
I've some property in Siberia, would
you like to buy some? It's real cheap.
This "blah-blah-blah-blah" type of
oration is typical of
1000s of books published
in last 100 years from thousands
of mediums & channelers.
Govert, believe what you want, but
I'll stick with the "Mahatma Letters".
On 2nd ed, p 415, Koot Hoomi pens
following words------
""Finally does not Mrs Kingsford
feel.....that she saw and conversed with
God!!; and that but a few evenings after
she talked with, and received a written
communication from the spirit of a dog?
.........And who purer or more
truthful than that woman......! Mystery,
mystery will you exclaim. IGNORANCE
we answer; the creation of that we believe
in and want to see.""
You read the Ballard/Prophet stuff.
I'll stick with Blavatsky/
Mahatma Letter volumes. I'm
afraid Ballard/Prophet material
can rot one's brain.
If Mrs Blavatsky's Masters are actually
communicating thru your prophet, then
they've descended in last 100
years & are currently spooks & bhuts.
Govert, if your prophet is in
contact with Mrs Blavatsky's teachers,
then I must be MahaChohan himself!
I channel one word commenting on
"Pearls of Wisdom"----
FLAPDOODLE!
