Theos-Talk Archives (January 2004 Message tt00431)

Hallo Krishtar and Ariel ,
For the second time I can say:
It is not the MANAS what is the slayer of the MIND.IT IS THE LOWER 
MANAS.The LOWER MANAS with the lower THINKING POwer the TATTVA of it.
We must grow up to the HIGHER MANAS!!!!!!!!!!!
>From there we can activate the Buddhi, the higher plan on the 
INTUITIVE to BUDDHI MANAS.
Look in your books what the lower manas means! Desire,selfish Ego etc.
Grow out of it!!!! Christina
