I find the term "some" used by Koot interesting.  Who was the "some" he was
referring to?  If Koot is talking about the Mahatmas as the "some" then
this implies there is some doubt among the Mahatmas as to HPB being the
'best choice.'  And if this is true, then it further implies a kind of
"split" among the Mahatmas - which may go further to suggest that HPB may
not have received a full instruction, perhaps just a limited one - maybe
she was simply Koot's favorite, and Theosophy is founded upon the views of
only one or two Mahatmas - which may explain the rise of other belief
systems which claim the mouth of the Mahatmas, for they may simply be the
'chosen ones' of the other Mahatmas (hence, Koot's statement that HPB is
the best for "years to come," again, suggesting others could possibly come
forth).
