A bit like Jerry's previous comments about HPB writing to classical scholars
and us trying to find her unheard of words in the dictionary. We are trying
but a simpler version like de Purucker is bearing more fruit for me, anyway.
We are studying SD because it is the horses mouth, so to speak yet the fact
that there are only 3 of us would indicate the lack of interest or ability
to come to grips with the way it is presented to our 1995 minds. Most of us
are not scholars yet to me, the stuff she talks about is fascinating, what I
can understand, that is.
