H.P. Blavatsky on "the divine soul within us."

Aug 22, 2005 08:27 AM
by Daniel H. Caldwell


On page 419, Vol. II of THE SECRET DOCTRINE,
H.P.B. writes about "...Buddhi - the divine Soul."

Five pages later, she again uses the phrase
"the divine soul" in the following passage:

"Those lives are countless, but the soul or spirit that animates us 
throughout these myriads of existences is the same; and though 'the 
book and volume' of the physical brain may forget events within the 
scope of one terrestrial life, the bulk of collective recollections 
can never desert the divine soul within us. Its whispers may be too 
soft, the sound of its words too far off the plane perceived by our 
physical senses; yet the shadow of events that were, just as much as 
the shadow of the events that are to come, is within its perceptive 
powers, and is ever present before its mind's eye."


In light of Frank's recent contention here on Theos-Talk, does
the passage above and the words "the divine soul within us" apply 
only to those readers of the text who are "male"?!
