Hi Brigitte and all of you,

Brigitte: I don't so much need biographical physical socalled 'evidence' orthe like.
I try reading the Akasha - or try using "the 7 keys" (the alchemical "language of the birds", although the alchemists of the past - mostly weren't highly skilled here according to Blavatsky) of Blavatsky. I am doing my best.


I am not claiming anything. 
I am stating my views.(Read my last email to see that !)

But you, Brigitte, on the contrary seem to claim - a whole lot.

No I don't - read - every book or article in the world. But maybe I 'read' (so to speak) something else. And I am not claiming to know everything.

But I can also think - and reach conclusions. 
Wisdom is not intersting to some people.

Sufilight with peace...
