As a long time Bailey student, 25 years, (and a not so long Blavatsky 
student, 5 years pehaps), I understand you clearly. The spirit that 
moves your words is the same spirit in my heart and mind. I believe 
only one source for everything, but words, too many times separate it 
into devastating expressions and effects.... how can one know for 
sure the other speaks the truth? Who can think without words?

The inner world is vast and beautiful if you know it... to be there 
you can not be here and, naturally, you will appear as nothing in the 
eyes of men.

logic and clear speaking tend to unify and restore harmony. Then we 
know we are all speaking the same language (almost).

There is a language we all speak, I feel it sometimes in others, but 
rarely... it is buried under many layers of babble and otherwise.

With deep respect.
Most sincerely,
Suzanne
