Yes, it is written in a style that is soothing to the intellect. I
encourage you to read the 'setting the stage' volume 1 first. After that,
you will have some sense of where you need to go from there.

I believe that you will. A friend (jerome) sent me the The Friendly
Philosopher by Robert Crosbie. Send me your address directly
(bilmer@surfsouth.com) and I will send it and some other interesting
materials to you. It is time that I passed jerome's goodness along the
line.

Don't be suprised if you conclude that most of the intellectual discussions
underway here really have very little to do with Theosophy. There are
pearls of wisdom here from time to time, but there is also a lot of
frothing seas.

Once again, thank

You are welcome. Keep in touch.
