Mahatma Letters Study Class Letters No. 113 & 114 (End of Phoenix) A. P. Sinnett was in London. Esoteric Buddhism had been published during the summer. The efforts to subscribe funds in India for The Phoenix had all but stopped, nothing substantial having been achieved.
Letter 113 a long and complicated letter is the Master K. H.’s final attempt to accomplish something about getting A. P. Sinnett’s projected newspaper established. The proposition which he suggests is so complicated and so mixed with the tangled political situation then existing in India that it is difficult for the student to make much out of it, especially if he is not acquainted with Indian political history.
Letter 114 sounds the death knell of the whole venture and closes the discussion concerning it.

The Mental Plane is also the realm of the Mind, i.e. the plane where thought arises. We will discuss further the subject of elemental kingdoms and the elemental essence that ensoul thoughts.
