Theos-Talk Archives (November 2006 Message tt00109)

Carl, Konstantin,

Good. A short commentary.  I don't see any difficulty in  not knowing the exact origin of the word "Chohan". 

Tibetan is not the main language in occult terms.

You have many languages from which this term could have evolved, or from which it could have been adapted.

What is the problem with that?  The real issue is the content which the word means and indicates -- the consciouness of a Chohan...


Regards,  Carlos.
