Hi Ramadoss,
>From my own experience a major break through happens when one ceases
to translate from mother language and begins to think in English.
Sometimes, when I translate into Slovenian, I have a feeling, after
the work is done, that it was somebody else who has written those
words. Now sometimes this feeling is present also when I write in
English. So, maybe there is really some help present; but I would
anyway welcome a person who would help me with editing and improve my
texts.
When Slovenian fellow theosophists were scrutinizing my translations
they came to conclusion that there were at least two persons who
worked on them or that it is quite impossible that there were
accomplished by me. Well, what can one say to such assumptions?
Really nothing, just go on working.
Warmest regards,
Anton
