Daniel,
I think Peter's discussion about the esoteric meaning of the phrase "oblong
square" as used by HPB was very perceptive from a mystical point of view.
However, he did not touch on the actual unambiguous meaning of the term with
relation to the esoteric geometric roots of universal architecture as explained
more or less thoroughly in my recent post on this subject.
But, nevertheless, none of these mystical speculations change my opinion that
removing the term from the introduction to the VOS where it could be
interpreted as an oxymoron and confuse uninitiated readers, made any difference in the
Heart Doctrine teachings contained in the VOS -- which, apparently, is all
that ULT associates and other students (who are not yet "Lanoos") should care
about.
Since I think this subject is being hacked over by you long enough, I hope
this is the last letter about it I might feel obligated to respond to for some
time to come... That is, unless you wish to delve deeper into the occult
metaphysics and mathematics on which the term "oblong square" is based. </:-)>
