She nearly always referred to the authors of these messages as "They"; when asked who "They" were, she would say haltingly and stupidly "the gods," or some equally unhelpful term. But she was always absolutely clear and precise as to the instructions .

It is suggested that the reader first browse through the book as a whole in order to become familiar with the general nature of the material presented. Do remember that there is a table of contents and an index. Later, the reader could take one letter at a time, dealing with a certain topic, study it, and meditate on whatever sections of that letter seem to warrant it.
