Probably with some reservations here and there, I do accept these
claims.

A more important question to me is: In what way can HPB's and the
Master's writings inspire me to become a better human being?

Will their concept of time make me more patient with life and its
complexities, but not with those who do not agree with me?

Will their concept of karma make me more understanding of my
brothers and myself and so be more able to forgive, except those
who do not agree with me?

Will their polemical style inspire me to get understanding and
refute errors, or give me a license to 'diss' those who do not
agree with me?

Will HPB's claim to be in contact with higher evolved beings be
taken as an indication that more like her might be around and
worthy of looking for, or will she be idolized as a
once-in-a-manvantara messenger?

etc.

In defense of Ballard&co.
