HPB says in SDIII that the only real test of an Adept is whether he can
bring someone back from the 'dead' - and she qualifies that term.

##Aside from the fact that Dallas didn't write that -- Robert 
##Crosbie (possibly 
##an Adept, IMHO, Judging from his writings) did -- I would 
##ask... How do you 
##know whether or not Pythagorus allowed his students to call 
##him that? 
##
##However, even if he did allow it, did he also allow non 
##students the same 
##right by claiming the title in a public book or outside his 
##school? Also, 
##don't you think that speaking of past lives by an Adept to 
##his avowed and 
##initiated students is one thing, while bragging about them in 
##public is 
##another? 
##
##The way that any teacher can be assumed a fraud or not, is by 
##testing his/her 
##teachings in the light of the Master within (if you have 
##awakened him), or 
##against the truths taught by a recognized Master. 
##Leadbeater, in my view 
##(after long and deep study of all the great Masters) meets 
##none of these 
##criteria.
