Dear Friend:

Could you share with us the page on which H.P.Blavatsky said this
?

Incidentally

The SECRET DOCTRINE III was not edited before its being first
published in 1897 by H.P.Blavatsky. Annie Besant took the
responsibility as editor (she says in the preface) of bringing
together various unpublished MSS that were in HPB's drawers at
the time of her death. The contents of this 3rd Vol. The SECRET
DOCTRINE are different from what H.P.Blavatsky said they would
be.

If you want to check out what H.P.Blavatsky said concerning the
3rd Vol. of The SECRET DOCTRINE and what it would contain, then
refer to

S D Vol. I, pp. vii, xl, xliv, 11; And in vol. II pp. 106,
437, 798. Also

H.P.Blavatsky Articles, (U.L.T. ) Vol. II 80-1 -- THE NEGATORS OF
SCIENCE "Lucifer" April 1891.

Best wishes,

Dallas

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.


DTB	WHERE ON WHAT PAGE DOES SHE SAY THIS ?

##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.
