=======================================================
Since most of us seem to be more "into" the material these days. What links 
could be provided for us to get a handle on a "bridge" between the physical 
and the astral upadhi? If we are to "return unto the Father", surely we must 
begin at the bottom of the mountain and ascend to the first plateau by means 
of knowledge. And later, ascend to the second , such as co-ordinate. Starting 
with the consubstantial?
The overall hypothesis is great but "the first step seems to be the most 
important one on a thousand mile journey". How can all the theorem help us 
to take that "first step"?
