>What is the fact ?  Not, "What is the way to escape unpleasantness ?">

Dallas, we still seem to be at odds here. I completely
agree with the "original" Theosophical teachings and
yet disagree with you, or what is more likely your 
interpretation. 

You constantly harp on the impossibility to "escape"
from karma, and yet this is exactly the message of
Buddha who taught that indeed, there is an escape.
Its usually called liberation. Nirvana is an escape
from samsara, and this is the goal of many. But the
Great Perfection school together with HPB taught
that we must be liberated even from nirvana.
