Dear Daniel:

Many thanks for the source on this.  As far as I am able to understand what
HPB writes and says, and what the MAHATMA LETTERS offer, I could not see
that C.G.Harrisson is correct.

I do think that some occultists are able to put up such a barrier to the
extent of their powers, and ceremonial magicians attempt to do this, but as
one observes these are seemingly designed to be linear rather than matters
of volume or "surround."  And, no one can live totally isolated !

So there are inherent fallacies in that concept.

I would say that the allegation is unsupportable and ought to be so
classified.

Many thanks for the reference.					Dal
