Hi Louis, 

What I think Frank may be saying, and in my own experience, the Truth
that is to be found in the SD and the Mahatma Letters can never be
communicated to the discursive mind through the vehicle of any single
'factual quote'. 

Rather, through *continued* study and meditation on these writings, the
patterns and framework of Truth contained therein (translated from
Universal symbols into language symbols) RE-awaken, activate, and inform
the dormant faculties which lie slumbering in the Inner Mind, the link
to the Higher Self.

*My personal belief* is that only these ORIGINAL COMMUNICATIONS are
capable of enabling this transformation. Only these original
communications have ADDED to our scientific/esoteric knowledge of the
universe, and the information, far ahead of its time, has also stood the
test of time. The rest, when critically examined, are comprised of
variations and different formulations of previously available religious
and moral themes.
