MK,

What do you mean by relevant importance? Isn't someone important for being
"born in a manger?" Isn't a little 12 year old child important enough to do
the teaching in the tabernacle? Who did Jesus find important? His message
was the same to all - love. That's the only message you need. Whether you
love HPB or Steiner is not important! Because the love you feel makes you
the Source of your own Truth and it is through this love for all which we
need to grow.

Some intellectuals only find their "appropriate importance" AND try to
force the rest of us to live like they do when they are in fact leading us
astray from our own feelings of adequacy, intelligence, and "listening to
our higher selves" and not accepting ANY outward authority.
