| 2. What is a manvantara and a mahamanvantara, and why would the calculation of its length cause Sinnett to swear? |
| 3. What is the Pleisto-Sinnettic period KH refers to and why did he say it would be considered a "savage" period? |
| 4. Why did the master M have to prepare William Eglinton for six weeks before KH appeared to him aboard the SS Vega? |
| 5. What was T Subba Rao's response to Sinnett's qualified assent to the requirements for spiritual teaching? |
| 6. Why does KH say the poet's phrase "shoreless ocean of immutability" is a "jocular paradox"? |
| 7. Why does KH say to Hume "Volumes of the most perfectly constructed information cannot reveal to man life in the higher regions"? |
| 8. What is the meaning of the word "zoophagous"? |
