    Ahhhhh... I knew there would be someone out there.
    
    YEARS!!! What drew you to her work? How far along have you come?
    Have you been to any of her centers? I'm facinated and
    frustrated/confused by her writtings. So far, she seems to think
    that I already have an understanding about spirtituality and the hierarchy.
    Should I? Or should I keep after it?
    
    Very curious,

Eric:

Glad to hear from you.  In order for me to further understand your 
plight it would be helpful if you told me which of the books you have 
read cover to cover, and which books you have on hand.  Depending on your 
response, I may be able to recommend a sequence for the materials which 
will help build your basic understanding.

Responses to your questions:

"What drew you to her work?"	My family discovered them through a 
friend when I was in my late teens (I'm almost 31 now).

"How far along have you come?"	Ha!  It's more than a lifetime's worth 
of work... so far I've come less than a lifetime's worth!

"Have you been to any of her centers?"	I know some of the people who 
have played key roles in the centers, some of whom have since branched 
out on their own, persuing the more scientific aspects of Esoteric 
Psychology and attempting to make some of the ideas more familiar and 
acceptable to the marketplace.  I have not personally been involved with 
any of the centers... never considered it necessary.

You should not necessarily have an existing basis of knowledge about the 
subject matter in order to get alot from the books.  But they *do* 
require persistence; and by all means keep after it if you sense that 
the work is based in truth.

Let me hear from you...

Jeff

P.S.  How did you find this work?
