Though this is not a fact to be publicised, the enhancement of a group
enhances the individuals in that group.

This is a quote form Dr. Kingsford " I have killed Paul Bert, as I killed
Claude Bernard; as I will kill Louis Pasteur, and after him the whole tribe
of vivisectors. " The essence of Blavatsky's reply was that we attack the
principles not the persons.
It is a pity that Kingsford let herself down badly, through impatience on
this issue.
Her Hermetic Society and books such as The Perfect Way had many eminent
supporters such as C.C. Massey, Wynn Wescott, S.L.M. Mathers, Dr. George
Wylde and Baron Spedalieri- Eliphas Levi's successor.
Much of her work /impulse reincarnated itself in Rev.Todd Ferrier's Order
of the Cross
