Theos-Talk Archives (March 2004 Message tt00556)

Friends, 

I think many seem to misinterpret the word "Lord" as referring solely to 
personages. It's root meaning actually is ruler or governor. This can be taken 
either personally, such as "Landlord" -- or impersonally, such as "rules of 
law." Therefore, It might make a great deal of sense if we substitute for the 
word "Lords" as used in the Bible or when mentioned in theosophical literature, 
the word LAWS. Doesn't this conform to what HPB meant when she advised us to 
"read in and around the words and between the lines" -- or, in other words, to 
avoid dead letter interpretations of theosophical teachings or any scriptural 
material?

Hope that helps.

Leon
