Hi Czandra! I'm still getting the previous file. Has it not completed uploading perhaps? Or was it accidentally uploaded in another MC folder?

Owlivia,
What a great voice and attitude you have for this text. The recording is fine, with a few niggly points pretty much up to your discretion. Times are approximate: I'll asterisk those I consider more important

You pronounce Cosmogony twice, at the beginning and at 29:50, as Cosmo(j)ony.
4:30 Dayanand *
8:29 there's an extra Thus, then "this" which is in text. It makes sense, though as is.
10:40 Herodotus. I'm not sure whether Heroditus is the same person?
11:33 an extra "as shown by" *
16:00 Anthropogony (extra "g" in there) *
16:10 oviporous (I hear oviporious)
21:15 the Water of Space *
21:55 Egyptiacus (I hear Egypticus)
22:19 Scarabaeus (I hear Scarabus) this occurs a couple of times in the paragraph before this too
23:38 Light not Darkness **
31:35 Anguinum

I hate to be too picky. The writer was so erudite, it's hard not to respect that. (Though I gather the men didn't know what to make of her - she had a lot to prove!)

Hi, could I snag Sections 4, 5, and 6? I'm excited to see a Theosophy text here!

czandra · Post by **czandra** » May 22nd, 2022, 4:13 am

Yes, Niveau. It's not the only one! We're also working on Annie Besant's Ancient Ideals in Modern Life. There's also a book, just begun, by Edward Carpenter on Pagan and Christian
creeds. Good to have you here.

There are a few Greek words at 22:42 and :52 that I didn't get. I tried a pronunciation site, without success. Please help, Rap! I'm hoping by the end of this I'll at least recognize some of the letters. In another book I can't even recall the name for the Greek letter "g" - is it gamma?

Yes, it is! Or as we say in Greek: γαμμα

I can listen to your sections tomorrow hopefully

Hello!!

Very interesting text! If it is okay, would I be able to contribute sections 16 - 17?

Steelpython, it looks like you've been around awhile but I don't see you in the readers list. Will try again tomorrow.
