Theos-Talk Archives (September 1999 Message tt00055)

I would have to say that the masters who are attributed with the foundation
of the TS are in the category of belief and are not verifiable personages
... they are rather flights of fancy and wishful thinking. HPB wrote:

This put simply is the heart of the matter... there is no objective proof
of such beings... we are in the category here of those who witnessed the
golden plates of the Book of Mormon.

This is the category of fantasy and dreamland... Do I disbelieve... yes I
do! Most emphatically so! When we dwell on these shadow beings ...these
willowthewisps, we devote time and energy that could be used to study and
appreciate genuine masters such as Swedenborg, Sri Aurobindo, Krishnamurti,
Ramakrishna, Ramana Maharshi, and many others, who are verifiable beings
with historical reality who have given the people of the world so much
spiritual guidance that the product of these socalled masters in the early
years of TS are better left forgotten! - Art Gregory
