Theos-Talk Archives (January 2003 Message tt00518)

Dear Dallas,

It's good to hear from you. I always enjoy your posts, and find so 
much to study and learn from in what you offer. Your level of 
scholarship amazes me, and I realize that there is much for me aspire 
to in the way of being a real student.

Astrology for me is a gift. It is not a philosophy, but a tool. The 
ancient wisdom as given this cycle by HPB and the Masters is the 
source of all needed information, as far as I am concerned (although 
I do not necessarily think that should be true for anyone else, 
unless they find it to be so) And I, too, would rather be surprised 
by the future than trying to figure it out before it arrives. I know 
enough about that to make me uncomfortable usually anyway, without 
trying, and I have learned never completely to trust my fears, 
anyway, about what will happen. But it is all a process. Most 
supremely important to me, above all disciplines of study, is to try 
to live according to the teachings as well as I can. And I know you 
share that motive.

It's good to hear from you,
Love and Light to you,
Adelasie
