Let me press H.P.B.'s Master into service on this one:
"2. To the Discilple each Fellow-Disciple becomes a Brother and Sister, a
portion of himself, for his interests and aspirations are theirs, his
welfare interwoven with theirs, his progress helped or hindered by their
intelligence, morality, and behavior through the intimacy brought about by
their co-discipleship."

3.A co-disciple cannot backslide or fall out of the line without affecting
those who stand firm through sympathetic tie between themselves and the
psychical currents between them and their Teacher."

This one from E.S. instructions, Preliminary Explanations to No.3 of the
instructions.
More Kingsford M.D. later.

Cordially,
