Theos-Talk Archives (December 2010 Message tt00064)

Dear friends,

It´s not "Bellinger" but "Bilfinger".

The Master is quoting Georg Bernhard Bilfinger (1693 ?1750), German
philosopher, mathematician and statesman. Bilfinger, or Bülffinger,
has made his philosophical studies along the lines of Leibniz.

The same quote appears at "The System of Nature, or, Laws of the
Moral and Physical World", Vol.I, p.19, of Paul Henri Thiry, the
Baron D´Holbach, the great French philosopher praised by the Mahatmas
in Their letters.

By the way, we have published at www.esoteric-philosophy.com
<http://www.esoteric-philosophy.com/>  a text of D´Holbach entitled
"On Examining Religion".

Best regards, Joaquim
