Then I should clarify that I have found HPB's works helpful,
those of "2nd Generation" and more recent Theosophical writers
helpful, and AAB's & Helena Roerich's also helpful, as well as
more suited to the times and to *MY* temperament.  And yes, isn't
this what it comes to? If it helps you (to help OTHERS!), use it,
otherwise lose it, or you'll look silly carrying that raft around
on your back on dry land! :)
