Theos-Talk Archives (July 2008 Message tt00407)

For readers and students who might be interested in
reading what Madame Blavatsky actually wrote
about "God", I give below the index entries on "God"
from THE KEY TO THEOSOPHY, THE SECRECT DOCTRINE, and 
HPB'S COLLECTED WRITINGS.

Just browsing through the entries may give some indication
of her views.  Of course, actually reading her text on the
pages indicated would be the best course of study.

Students might also look up other related terms such
as Deity, Absolute, Parabrahman, gods, Jehovah, Atman, monad, etc.

See index terms BELOW.
