I can almost hear the Mahatmas rolling around on the floor with
laughter at the idea of writing such a book! Thank you Eldon
for some common sense here. A useful point also is that we
carry a fair amount of baggage from our past *in this life*
which not only needs re-evaluation, and may be easier to
recognise, if we can look into ourselves honestly.
