As I understand it she saw whole pages of the books in her mind or what
ever it may be called. She wrote the words down as she saw them. The masters
also used to correct her writing over night with a blue pen. There may not
have been as much interpretation as suggested here. As I have read it that
is how she managed to quote so much of the ancient wisdom that is not in
common use. I wonder if she was able to access the Akashic Records and read
from them much of what she wrote about.
