Let me add my 0.02.  I agree with your statement.  The fact that
Paul's book is being read by a large number of people itself is
very productive.  It is going to lead the readers to inquire more
about HPB, Theosophy and of course the Mahatmas and in the course
of such inquiries, the inquirers are going to be affected in a
positive way which while be conducive to the welfare of anyone
and everyone they deal with.  After all the thrust of modern
Theosophical Movement is to arrest the attention of the people
and make themself turn around and move inthe direction of welfare
of the Humanity and every opportunity and every tool will surely
be used by the Brotherhood and how it is done may be very
difficult to fathom.  The bottom line is the results that are
achieved.
