Isn't that enough? Although, at least at the level of Adepts, if not also 
"Masters" -- I might add Pythagorus, Da Vinci, Socrates, Plato, Paracelsus, 
Hermes, WQJ, HPB, Sankaracharya, Lao Tse, Yeshua, Moses, Einstein, Solomon, 
Tsonkapa, etc., etc. -- among many others of like mind whom I've come across 
in my over 70 years of studious interest in the fine and applied arts and 
sciences and, especially, occultism... 

Starting, incidentally with my father, who not only instructed me with 
mystical answers to all my childish questions, but also was a practicing 
alchemist (and chemist) as well as a freemason, occultist, and a learned 
kabbalist (as was my Grandfather) -- with a library of over 1,000 art, 
scientific, philosophical, classical and occult books (Including the SD, 
which I couldn't make head nor tails of until I began seriously researching 
it almost 30 years ago) -- which I remember filled three entire walls from 
floor to ceiling when I started climbing the ladder and delving into them at 
the age of six -- and continued until I went in the Army Air Corps at age 18. 
Funny thing is, that while I remember, and have correlated almost every 
profound idea offered in any one of the books I read, I can't remember who 
said what, or which books they came out of. :-) But, then, I make no claims 
of being a Master or an Adept... Only a "genius" of a sort -- in the sense 
that Einstein said, "Genius is the ability to concentrate for a long period 
of time without distraction on a single point of inquiry" -- as my "father 
[now] in heaven" taught me. ;-)
