This may be true of some books, however people often report to me
that re-reading the same book a couple of years after the previous
occasion brings them greater understanding and deeper insight. This
reminds me of a comment made by Joy Mills some 12 years ago after she
had been studying and lecturing in the Secret Doctrine and Mahatma
Letters for 50 years. In paraphrase she said she now felt she was
really coming to terms with some of the Doctrine's concepts. At that
time, her knowledge of the Secret Doctrine could fairly be described
as formidable.
>From this, it would appear there may be more in the Secret Doctrine
and Mahatma Letters at least than first meets the eye of knowledge;
the heart of understanding perhaps?
