Theos-Talk Archives (June 2006 Message tt00388)

Hi Adelasie,

Thanks for adding those thoughts.

Take care,

These are the 3 Index pages on my Theosophical

web site -- which contains 1,488 articles from

THEOSOPHY magazine:
http://www.wisdomworld.org
http://www.wisdomworld.org/setting.html
http://www.wisdomworld.org/additional/index.html

This is "A place for Theosophists to work
together to create a Movie about JESUS":
http://www.quicktopic.com/37/H/xXY4ny4eB6v/p-1.-1

And this is the link to what I very personally

consider my "UNIVERSAL BROTHERHOOD"
project for all of humanity -- one that I have

envisioned myself for the last 26 years and
am trying hard to get going:
