Dear Jerry:

To "convince" you ? I wouldn't try -- any more than I would try
to convince anyone. Ideas can be advanced. Their considerations
and use is entirely a matter of the effort of the recipient.

I am not begging the issue as to whether "others" who followed
HPB "expanded or amplified" what she had to offer.

What I say is that there not a clear coherency between those
speculations and the "core TEACHINGS."

Again it is a question of which "authorities are going to be
placed in the bull-ring. "Authorities" don't help.

We all speculate, and as we wait and watch to see if our
speculations are right or wrong, or need modification, we think.
Classifications are fine, it they assist in clearing the mind and
establishing clearly the relations ships between apparently
separate situations, whether thee be of place, of time, or of
consciousness.

The thing that had me querying is that HPB was apparently made
responsible for some later writer's speculations, which he took
the risk of putting into print. And, in my experience, all that
is printed is not necessarily true. And I am sure you know this
also.

So HPB did not say this, nor apparently did the Masters, (as they
declared that they co-authored the S D -- See certificates given
to Dr. Hubbe-Schleiden reprinted in PATH, Vol. 8, pp 1-3 --
April 1893.)

Thanks for the clarification. Dallas

No, But it does not lead me to a greater understanding, unless
one spends time decIphering what is meant. DAL
