Dear Odin:

RE: MEDITATION CHART -- by HPB?

Thanks. I have some doubts about it. Hence I have not made any display of
it. I do not understand it very well. I had hoped you had some clues.

Dallas,
I don't know anything about this chart of meditation and therefore
don't know it is true or false. Everyone has to judge on their own
intuition such matters. I only saw it was published in a biography of
HPB, and I have not posted any details about it other than pointing
that out. Who posted the below? It was not me.
best,
Odin

H P B MEDITATION DIAGRAM

>From Christmas Humphries "The Middle Way" April/June 1942

[Attributed to notes made by E. T. Sturdy at an Inner Group Meeting.]

============================================================

H.P.B.'s Diagram of Meditation


First conceive of UNITY by Expansion in space and infinite in Time.
(Either with or without self-identification.)


ACQUISITIONS

Perpetual Presence in imagination in all Space and Time.

. . . . . . . 

General Note: All the passions and virtues interblend with each other.
Therefore the diagram gives only general hints.


====================================================

[E. T. Sturdy, a member of HPB's Inner Group, gave this diagram to
Christmas
Humphreys in 1940 or thereabouts. Christmas Humphreys printed it in The
MIDDLE WAY.

The CANADIAN THEOSOPHIST reprinted it in March 1943, and
THE THEOSOPHIST in January 1968.]
BLAVATSKY: Collected Works (TPH) Vol. 11 p. 104-6

=====================================

Odin:

I am quite serous in this query:

How did you get and perceive this to be correct?

How do you know how HPB wanted it to be used?

Is there anything in the literature that corroborates this?

Best wishes,

Dallas
