Theos-Talk Archives (August 2005 Message tt00273)

Dear Cass,

Yes, I have some material on the SD I will send you privately. The 
students make up hand outs when they make presentations. But usually 
the handouts are most meaningful in the context of their 
presentations. We have one couple who participates over the phone 
lines via long distance. But that would not be practical from 
Australia. We are looking into the web cam technology. Once we figure 
it out, or someone who understands it volunteers, we will start 
broadcasting the sessions. But you will need a high speed connection. 
We are also looking at correspondence courses. Your input would be 
helpful here. 
For the Mahatma letters, we tend to go through the administrative parts 
more quickly, but there are nuggets of teaching in almost all of the 
letters. 
1.8 million years would still be in that transition period where the 4th 
RR was declining and the 5RR moving towards coming into its own. 
Best
Jerry

I am unable these days to get into the Melbourne TS, and I miss the 7 years or so I spent studying at the group sessions. I would be very interested in doing an "online" course as you conduct your "offline" course. However, if this means, you putting in unnecessary hours then I wouldn't ask of it. I am really only interested in those letters where the Master's teach on man and the universe as I am not drawn to the administrative letters.

As I was totally naive to the scientific concepts HPB made in ISIS, e.g. hydrogen, cometary matter etc, I joined a scientific group to get the basics of science, this also makes understanding clearer. e.g. As science has discovered this week a 1.8 million year old humanoid skull, how that compares with the cycles and rounds HPB spoke of, and where the migration (according to modern science) began.
