Theos-Talk Archives (December 2003 Message tt00313)

Hallo my friend,

My views are:

I think you have gor the links mixed up.

Your link below is not connected with the above text.

You wrote:
"I think the below quote was taken from:
The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:"
(The source for this text is ...???)

The following is taken from this place: http://khidr.org/khidr.htm
"In that wilderness I lived for four years. God gave me my eating without
any
toil of mine. Khidr the Green Ancient was my companion during that time - he
taught me the Great Name of God."[2]

and not from
http://www.theosophy.org/tlodocs/hpb/SacredTreeOfKumBum.htm

The two texts are not connected anywhere on the Internet as far as I know.
The only place is your email.
