I loved Judge when I started out 30 odd years ago, but tired of him
somewhere along the line.


>Each one must think for him/her-self.

And experience for herself too (which is even more important).


>HPB herself once wrote to him: What I

She was just being polite. I have never accused HPB of writing
manas.

It hardly "broke out at the turn of this century."  Psychism has been alive
and well during the other parts of the century too. You are quoting from
HPB on a subject that I have strong personal opinions.

Why? You are not the first who has suggested this. But so far I have
never heard of any kind of reasonable explanation for deliberately
withholding knowledge. HPB tells us she did so out of her Master's
command. Maybe. I suspect that the sexual link to Buddhist
Tantricism (which she had to be aware of) was deliberately withheld,
and for good reason.

The "esoteric" teachings given at the time of HPB have all been published,
and I am privy to them. As to "inner work" I like to think that I have some
awareness, yes. I tend to do my own.  I do not believe that Judge held back
any new knowledge. I do suspect that he held back some meanings of
what he wrote (the arbitrary-ness of ethics, for example, which is a can
of worms to the uninitiated).
