Theos-Talk Archives (February 1994 Message tl00063)

Dear Brenda:

     Thanks for the illuminating quote from HPB.  While
Theosophists might find it relatively easy to appreciate the
need to consider seven levels of meaning to every religious
symbol OUTSIDE the Theosophical tradition, they tend to exempt
HPB's and Masters' teachings from this necessity.  But nothing
she says implies that her own statements should be taken
solely on the literal, mundane level any more than those
in sacred writings of the past.

Paul
