Theos-Talk Archives (December 2008 Message tt00124)

Christian times are over!!!The fourth race is (mostly) behind us. We 
mostly are the fifth.
The time is now to get the insight in ourselves and not what others 
like to impress us.We need to think for ourselves and not what a 
priest say or whatever.Also we need to come out of the 6 th 
principle, otherwise we never should find our higher minds.
For that HPB was the right indicator.
