to be written to make all points absolutely clear.


I would say that you can write all the volumes you want and you
will never make it clear at all. But one second of spiritual
experience and it will be all very clear in an instant.


	DALLAS:	How can one determine the difference between a
"spiritual" and a "psychic" experience ?

	I think this is important as it is difficult to do.  Are any
criteria given 	?  Do you have any references I can use ?

==================================

These Lipika exist on the fourth plane (causal) on or around
Globe G
and "errors" are a subjective call. I don't believe that they
worry
much about "errors."  They simply record things--both subjective
and objective and it is we who must interpret.

	DALLAS	I have looked for a reference that says they are as you
state.  Could not find.  Can you help please ?

	Even if "Errors" may be "subjective"  ( and I maintain that all
is subjective, since all evaluation of any phenomena "objective"
has to be subjective and interior to us )  It is then the
"objective plane" that is an illusion, as suggested in VOICE OF
THE SILENCE - p. 9 on MARA. )
What does it matter ?  I don't "get it."

	Who or What is the "WE" that does the interpretation, in terms
of our Principles ?  I am trying to understand your terms.


Thanks again,  Dallas
