Dear Chris:

I think you can get the 2 books H.P.B.'s KEY TO THEOSOPHY and
Judge's OCEAN OF THEOSOPHY "on line" off blavatsky.net.

As to a diagram (is that what you want?) I think each student
creates his own. If you work from someone else's diagram you may
pick up their slant. Better to always go to the original if you
can and become a direct (not one of the filtered) students, We
don't know at this level of study how trustworthy the "filters"
are. We have been told that H.P.B. was the MESSENGER from the
ADEPTS. Mr. Judge was her close co-worker and most successful in
spreading a knowledge of theosophy in America.

To verify this one needs only to study their books and realize
how coherent they are. Also one needs to read something of the
History of Theosophy and the T. Movement -- there is a reliable
one based on documents -- titled THE THEOSOPHICAL MOVEMENT :
1875 - 1950 It is available through Blavatsky.net as also from
the THEOSOPHY COMPANY, Los Angeles.

In other words trust your own perceptions and do your own work.
If you start in trusting others with no knowledge of their
ability and veracity, you could do a lot of wandering. Study is
inevitable, and can be done slowly daily and definitely only by
one's self.

Dear Dallas,

Thank you for your suggestions regarding LInga Sharira. I don't
have Key to
Theosophy or Ocean of Theosophy right now, but I will try to get
some
excerpts online and around the corner look into buying. In the
mean time, is
there maybe a drawing of the model. I gather that someone has
seen all this
and perhaps drew a picture in order to understand what the
teacher saw
inside. And then have a way to sort of fit the pieces of higher
consciousness together. And have some clue what I may be missing
out on.

Is it known when the teacher taught HPB to meditate, what exactly
he told
her to do? I mean I know that the teachers words may not be the
whole story
here, but I just wondered if she revealed what was said to her
about how to
meditate?

Chris
