Theos-Talk Archives (February 2002 Message tt00328)

Thanks Eldon,

I remembered after I wrote that post that I heard some very 
interesting talks on this subject at the conference I attended in 
Cambria last August, and I'm happy that there are theosophists and 
scientists who are investigating the links between the two. After 
all, science is a part of the synthesis we know as theosophy, as are 
philosophy and religion. It is no accident that these links are being 
investigated in this era and it is exciting to watch. 

Regards,
Adelasie
