Having studied the Voice Of The Silence I have concluded that there
are similarities to other works of the Master Hilarion. Whether or not
these works are accepted by students is another matter.
This is however only a personal observation and I thank you as always
for your comments Dallas.

As you say, the true value is in the text itself.

Best wishes
Jeremy
