merge[edit]

when a page starts "the body of light is the subtle body" i can see no reason for two separate articles. Redheylin (talk) 19:37, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That would be because you are unfamiliar with the breadth and range of the topic, and the three or more different sources: Buddhist, Hindu (used by Theosophical sources), and Classical (used by Hermetic and magical sources). It would be WP:OR to shove them all together and call them the same thing. Skyerise (talk) 02:12, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

TL;DR: it's more subtle than that. Skyerise (talk) 04:31, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

To do[edit]

~~Current article is lorum ipsum~~
~~Was Farr one of Crowley's influences?~~ Yes, she was in charge of G.D. education.
Lineage of transmission is Ficino (done), Paracelsus, Dee, Bruno, Levi, Farr, Crowley.
What teachings might he have received from Allen Bennett? Most likely Luminous mind which is common to the sutrayana and vajrayana sects, but not Illusory body which is found only in Vajrayana.
~~Augoeides~~
