Theos-Talk Archives (March 2005 Message tt00674)

Hi Christina:

This subject very profound, but for now if I may ask just a few 
questions regarding the table below:

1.	On 2., "This form looks like half the moon." What form are 
you referring to?
2.	Do you know why fire comes before air?
Also, if fire comes before air, this puts the correlation with the 
solar plexus and not the heart. Does this make sense?
3.	In your table, fire correlates to eyes to sight is different 
from HPB's Air to eyes to sight. Do you think HPB made a mistake, or 
is it a printing error, or is it a blind?


Regards,


barbara
