Dear Kym:

Thanks for your comments.  May I proceed ?

Your questions are largely answered. when you seem to desire some degree of
understanding of what theosophy states, in THE KEY TO THEOSOPHY.  There is a
good INDEX for that book and if it is used some of the difficulties in
understanding Theosophical teaching vanish.  I do not mean to "ignore" your
questions, only to save some time and not just repeat what is already
available there.

If you also read the rest of the daily postings you will have noticed that
the question of Masters and their existence has been well described and
debated.  In replying I try to take into account all that is floating about
that seems relevant.

The difference between the "Individuality" and the personality" ought o be
investigated and studied from the theosophical point of view of psychology
to grasp what is meant in regard to Masters.

In THE KEY TO THEOSOPHY and  elsewhere in her Articles and the SECRET
DOCTRINE  HPB has dealt with the subject.  Have you found time to look into
what is there ?

With best wishes to you,

Dallas
