<<<I wonder if anyone understands that these distinctions exist only in consciousness and not in reality. In reality there is no atma or buddhi as separate entities, and therefore no compromising the essential unity of it.>>>

Steve, actually they are principles, not enitites, which demonstrates how word games can get us into trouble. :-)

While atma per se may be eternal, is my atma? Is yours?

I know what you mean though, and I am sure that Dallas and Peter do too. Dallas and Peter and I sometimes have fun with manas technicalities (did you know that intellectual religious debates were a sport in Tibet). All in good fun, and no one ever wins or loses. Interpreting Blavatsky is almost as much fun as making sense out of the Bible...
