    Dear 'Frater QV',

    >> Thank you for that list. Is the database you mentioned searchable by
    topic? <<

    I was searching the digital .pdf versions that are available online.
    They each have a "Find" function as part of the Adobe Acrobat format.

    >> Still, the statementes are better topics for meditation than they are
    definitions of akasha. <<

    Well, of course they are. :)

    >> For example, what exactly does it mean to be spaceless and timeless?
    Can anyone imagine such a state? <<

    Yes, one can imagine such a state and that is the point of offering a
    "definition" that requires consideration, contemplation and meditation.
    The same holds true for any of the "definitions" offered in the Theory
    section -- all of them require consideration, contemplation and
    meditation for them to be of any genuine practical use.

    >> There are also some internal inconsistencies with the statements. For
    example, in the last sentence of item #7, Bardon is apparently referring
    to the astral plane as spaceless and timeless, yet that is the
    definition of akasha. <<

    :) Perhaps with a bit of consideration, contemplation and meditation it
    will make more sense to you. Besides, all of these excerpts were taken
    out of context.

    >> In KTQ, bardon talks about akasha, the mental plane (causal in most
    vernacular.), and the astral plane. The difference between them is that
    akasha is spaceless and timeless, the next region includes space, and
    farther down you also get time. It's important to keep these
    distinctions in mind, otherwise, it's easy to get lost. <<

    The distinctions between these realms are much more significant than
    just their temporal differences.

    >> Bardon gave the world a lot. Unfortunately, he didn't give us
    everything. <<

    ;-) Of course he didn't. It would be impossible to "give us
    everything"! Besides, Hermetic initiation is not about having all the
    answers served up on a silver platter -- it's about *personal*
    exploration, *personal* experience, and *personal* discovery.

    My best to you,
    :) Rawn Clark
