Well, join my arsenal of questions I have myself:

What is the relationship, in terms of accuracy, between HPB's writings and
the Esoteric Philosophy
guarded by the Masters?

If there is a difference, as I believe there is but can not proof, what are
the factors involved to explain the difference?

If these factors, whatever they might be, are operative in the case of HPB,
won't they also be operative in the case of other genuine messengers?

Have the Masters themselves put together different packages of Wisdom
Religion for different situations, cultures and messengers?

How do They adapt to the level of intellectual and intuitive attainment of
their messenger?

What is their experience throughout the ages regarding educating the masses
through different means?

How do They apply that experience?

Do we know Their ultimate vision for the earth, which will guide Their
efforts in enlightening humanity?

Etc. etc.
