B is for the boy in college who thought a date was inviting me up to his attic room and playing a record while he read aloud from the dictionary. He was in love with words. I caught on eventually when I bought the hefty four-inch thick, 2,000-page Funk & Wagnall’s Deluxe Edition, which in those pre-internet days promised a lifetime of meaning. But there were always more questions, so next came stacks of the Alice A. Bailey books for insight into the ‘Ageless Wisdom.’

“Ageless Wisdom” From the Glossary at A Tree of Light: http://atreeoflight.org/Glossary

“Ancient teachings, updated for current times. The essentials contained in this body of higher truth have guided spiritual seekers throughout human history. It encompasses the nature of the cosmos, the laws that govern evolution, and humanity’s role in the evolution of our planet. It is the ‘Golden Thread’ that reveals the deeper meaning of universal truths at the heart of the world’s religions.”

This Glossary has everything from “Age of Light /Age of the Soul” to “World Teacher:  See also Coming One, and Reappearance of the Christ.”
