Dear Gopi:

As I see it is not a question of "ownership."

It is a question, or rather a statement of "Self." I am the
HIGHER SELF -- ATMA The 6 Principles are my vehicles or
vestures (S D I 157, II 596)

The Immortal MONAD that we are is ATMA-BUDDHI-MANAS,
unfragmented.

But I could be wrong or I am expressing this incorrectly.

Dear Dallas,

May I comment on

"I am also aware that we all have a "Master: within. It is our
own HIGHER SELF ATMA. If we are to secure its help we have to
so purify our lower nature that we do not keep Them at a
distance"



The only problem seems to me is the 'Ownership".

The ego seems to want to own even the Higher Self. If that can be
observed and rigorously observed, I think that we actually start
our work towards the Higher Self. Eventually that might lead to
the 'working ourselves out of this phase.
