There were many Theosophists who claimed to have their teachings from direct
communication with the Masters. Nevertheless they all contradict. So only
one side could be right as there is but one Truth on not two or more.
Each lineage believes they are genuine and the others are frauds.

At Adyar Besant and Leadbeater claimed to have communications from the
Masters. ULT, Point Loma, Pasadena
believe they lie.

Point Loma, Pasadena and ULT say that Judge and HPB are genuine. Adyar says
Judge lies and HPB perhaps also (at least Adyar spreads teachings which are
opposite to HPB).

Point Loma and Pasadena say that Tingley and Purucker had genuine
communication with the Masters. ULT and Adyar believe not.

Pasadena says Long and Conger had genuine communication with the Masters.
Point Loma, ULT and Adyar believe not.
