Re: TIME & EVOLUTION and freedom

Dear N.

I think you may have forgotten, both "time" and "evolution" are most
frequently considered in all HPB writings, particularly the SECRET DOCTRINE.

I will use this book alone for illustrating this.

Yeah...I find that to be a great sentence,
although the experience of "time" and "evolution" as such is different on
the different levels of consciousness.
Something Blavatsky hardly mentions back then in the good old days.
This is important.
