Madame Blavatsy had some interesting words, some good ideas, and presented
them in a way that was time-appropriate to a specific time and to a specific
aim she had at that time.That was, in my opinion, part of her uniqueness. If
you understand her teaching or any great spiritual teaching and desire to
share it with others, it is always best to present it in your own words in
such a way that is time -appropriate. If you do not understand how to do
this, it is best, in my opinion, to start with a simple question, that is
your own question, and put it in your own simple words. The few times you
have done this, I have felt a little bit of an active force and have been
inspired to delve further into theosophy. I believe that giving these long
quotes or even not-so-long quotes from Judge or Madame Blavatsky, is not the
best way to share her teachings with others, but I may be wrong about this,
and others may disagree with me. Sincerelty, Wry.
