Hi Anton,
Do you know "Yoke "is the word called for Universal Self.


That you mentioned a story of Mabel Collens I understood, but I was
referring to your own writing in this.

By the way thanks for giving that book on line here, for I was looking
and could not find it anywhere.

If I have time I should like to read.
Friendly Greeings Christina
