Jerry S:

Here's a quote closer to the type that I was looking
for. It's by G. de Purucker, taken from page 337 of
Volume II of "The Dialogues of G. de Purucker".

> ... The seven principles are not vehicles. They
> are not sheaths. To call the seven 'principles the
> seven 'elements' of man's constitution is just as
> good a manner of speaking. It depends upon the point
> of view whether we speak of seven 'principles' or
> seven 'elements.' The two are the same. They are
> principles when looked at from one point of view
> and elements when looked at from some other point
> of view. The vehicles, on the other hand, are
> aggregrated centers or focuses or vortices in which
> the respective egos live, but these vortices, focuses,
> are in each themselves all composed of the seven
> principles or elements.
