What HPB said is fine. We love her for it, because in the great body of
her textual works
we make sense of the many facets and sides to her teachings, but why do YOU
so often take this stance?

Do you intend to throw doubt on their activities in the world today?
Are you asking people to disbelieve that they are here with us, too, just
as they were with HPB? Do you wish us to live without contact?

What is YOUR purpose in throwing doubt on OUR contact, OUR love for them,
OUR interest in seeing their activities come to light in our time and day?
This is something we may be striving for and I can't grasp that you feel so
strongly the need to discourage us in this. We long to see them and hear
them and be with them. We love to see their names and we love to read their
words and harmonize with their thoughts. Why is this so discouraging to YOU
and in your correspondence do you take this stance so frequently so that
you can PROTECT us from wrongdoing? from delusion? or from sounding silly?
 I cannot grasp that you would prefer a world with "NO" contact, "NO"
attention and virtually "NO" mention of their activities abounding today
because people ARE living sacredly like HPB taught and we are loving them
here and inviting them and welcoming their approach and living as if we
cherish the glimpses and insightful occurrences of their communications
because there are still many, many, purposes for our association with them
and hopefully for their association with us.

What do you intend to do with your life?
