Theos-Talk Archives (August 2007 Message tt00067)

I'm referring to the Vol. 3 compiled by Besant from HPB's papers. It 
is online in this link:

http://www.theosophical.ca/SecDoctrine3A.htm

That paragraph can be also found in the Esoteric Instruction VI, I 
believe, and in some of the minutes of the Inner Group teachings of 
HPB.
