Dear Jerry and Frank:

When I used the phrase "spiritual soul" I had in mind HPB's
definition of it as given in KEY TO THEOSOPHY pp. 135 and 176.

Hope that this makes it clearer

Friends, we should not enter word plays. It is clear what Dallas
meant when
he wrote about the spiritual soul. The spiritual soul is the
spiritual soul
and not the divine soul nor the human soul.
