Mauri,
Thanks for our reply and comments they are valued. Well, I was asked a 
few questions by the "other" Mauri and I answered them as best I could, I 
completely understand other views and positions relative to what I post on that 
topic, I have my own reservations in many cases on many things about it that to 
this day are unanswered. But as I told the other Mauri it is a very long 
involved story involving dozens of people over many years with much content not 
easily put in a thumb nail. I don't have explanations for many items that appear in 
it which scatter all over the place( Delphi, Dodona, Stonehenge, Giza, 
Tiahuanaco, Nasca, So.Cal.). The Paranormal effects were what were most convincing 
to me rather then the alledged events I can't prove as factual, and are not my 
claims but the Experiencer and Jim Frazier who documented what was possible 
for him too. Much remains egnimatic when dealing with people and this kind of 
thing. My own personal reaction is I get very skeptical when religious elements 
pop up. But my ergus was to do with the Paranormal features more than any 
thing else, it was those special events that had more convincing evidence to me 
than any thing else that might be just assertions and claims that one can never 
prove true. I agree they might benefit with Theosophy, but that also involves 
their own perogatives, I don't think most off them had any exposure to 
Theosophy with the exception of Bill Hamilton and myself (and I had very little at 
that time). And I began to look into Theosophy back then in 1977-78 because 
the little I did know about seemed to me that it might lend some explanations to 
what was going on in the Paranormal events, if I had never been involved in 
Brian's experience I don't know if I would have indulged about Theosophy as I 
did come to, it caused me to make major diversion in my life just by reading 
all that I could of Theosophy and Blavatsky et all plus much more. Brian's 
girlfriend that was in the car on the trip I posted about was a bible thumping 
fundy who followed Brian around with a bible in her hand making him put his hand 
on it and swear he was not the Devil. Every one reactes differently in a wide 
spectrum and if there is a place where one can see it all it is in a UFO case. 
There were real Human Beings that were having real psychological responses as 
a result of what they experienced and it was not fun to the ones that this 
was occuring too, those are another set of stories in themselves. Nobody goes to 
todays schools and gets any lessons on how to approach these kind of 
experiences if they happen to people. Dr. John Mack worked on just this issue after 
researching for years on what experiencers experience. I don't know what 
Theosophy will coach on this topic, very little is mentioned that I am aware of, I 
don't remember Blavatsky having any mention correlate to this.

Best regards,
John
