Theos-Talk Archives (March 2006 Message tt00834)

You betcha, Perry.  The timeless verities of HPB's work are its 
distinguishing character.  

I'm so glad to hear about your insights.  The snake infested lady 
may be deluded in a clinical sense, yet still capable of functioning 
in society and holding a job.  If things remain the same and when 
she again contacts me, I will refer her to a doctor.  Once I know 
that pressing medical conditions are clear, we will talk.

Best regards,
Krsanna
