Dallas you wrote:

"No Adept will ever claim to be one, nor will any one
who has actually encountered an Adept ever mention the event in
public, or claim the acquaintance."

Dallas, do you really mean it when you write that no one "who has 
ACTUALLY encountered an Adept [will] ever mention the event in 
public, or claim the acquaintance"? Caps added.

How do you come up with statements like this? I really am truly
puzzled. 

If you look in my book "The Esoteric World of Madame Blavatsky" you 
will see public accounts written by HPB, Damodar, Ramaswamier, 
Olcott, Casava Pillai, William Brown, Franz Hartmann and others of 
their encounters with Adepts and Masters. All these individuals 
claimed the "acqaintance" of the Masters. If we take your dictim at 
face value, then should we discount the testimony of all these 
individuals including that of HPB?
