Very nicely put Morten.
I, myself, have many many years of study in the AAB/TIBETAN system of 
thinking, but, too, I have studied many other Great Works also.

And, in my opinion (for what it may be worth, she sez humbly) all 
these (what I call) systems of thinking are merely different points 
of view of the structure of the Dream (Maya) we all live and 
participate in. BUT, inherent in all these different points of view 
is a common demominator which substands all these great "systems 
(streams) of thinking." And, in that integrated common demominator 
(is the one spirit clothed in words) is the truth to behold.

Besides, it is my understanding, that the intellect, which uses words 
(and their inherent distortion) as it's expression, can only, at 
best, gather information and organnize it... and, it, the intellect, 
can never REALIZE the truth. Again, in my opinion and understanding, 
any doctrine of theosophy, philosophy, religion etc. must be 
considered tentative explanations and interpretations of the truth 
beyond the realm of the intellect, and can only be used, as best as 
one can, as a means to the direct discovery of truth (Self-
realization). 

>From the Tibetan, "That the inner man has ever been known to be 
there, and the "kingdom within" has ever been proclaimed until HPB 
came and gave out the same truths from a new angle, giving an occult 
turn to mystic thought. Now comes the opportunity for man to realise 
the laws of his own being, and in that realization those who stand on 
the verge of intuitional apprehension of knowledge and those of 
scientific bent who are willing to accept these truths as a working 
hypothesis to be utilised as a basis for experiment until proven 
false, will have the chance to solve the world problems from WITHIN" 
(emphasis added).

In my mind, there is very little conflict between HPB and AAB, both 
of their "systems" of thinking are striving to reach the same goal, 
but are using slightly different paths.

Most sincerely,
Suzanne
