    Though HPB tended to vacilate on the issue.

    The only reason why I brought up the issue was because those who disliked
Bailey were being compared to Nazi's; I was prepared to, figuratively speaking,
keep my mouth shut.

    Actually, I have a secondary problem with Bailey, which is her "esoteric
astrology" is based, at least partially, on the concept that matter and energy
are NOT the same thing, that Newton was right and that Einstein was wrong (yes,
I know, they were both wrong; Newton was just wronger).
