Claire, Martin and others said "lets study" - some quotes for possible
comments:


>From Blavatsky Letters to Sinnett:

     "She (HPB) defines what a nucleus of Brotherhood is by quoteing Master
K.H. almost word for word:  'A group or branch, however small, cannot be a
*theosophical society* unless the members in it are magnetically bound to
each other by the same way of thinking, at least *in some one* direction."
(from Barker's Intro)

Dal:

As it we are all magnetically bound all the time, and whenever we think of
each other, or whenever we think along the same lines of inquiry, we draw on
each other as well as on specific persons we may be melded to or with
because of karmic affinity - which is again, saying we are all students
together.
=====================================
    "... even an Anglo-Indian can have the true S----- SPARK in him, which
no
amount of brandy and soda and other stuff can extinguish and which will
occasionally glitter out and very brightly."  p 6

      "... If you are ever to learn any lesson about man's duality and the
possibility through occult science of awakening from its dormant state to an
independent existence the invisible but real *I am*, seize this chance.
Observe and learn.  ...as soon [as] one learns this duality all becomes
clear."  K.H., p. 7

HPB as I read her, makes this duality between the INDIVIDUALITY
(Atma-Buddhi-Manas) and the Personality (kama-prana-astral and physical
bodies)
Clear not only in the KEY  but in the S D.


      "... How easy it is, he said to me, to show that the best medium in
the
world is as likely to become a subject to hallucination to *Maya*. Why Morya
said only yesterday, that Stainton M., his 'guardian' and guide +
notwithstanding, could be made to mistake our *Poodi (an elemental spook)
for
Christ - if they wanted to."
p. 23

Which, to me, is to say that the overpowering of a person's lower self by
the stronger will of another is possible.  If that occurs it is under Karma.
It is also because the one who allows himself to be overpowered .  There are
cases offered of this in ISIS.

Suffice it to say that no White Adept is against true occultism.


These are points I make from my own reading and on my own responsibility,

Dallas
