You did not give your reasons for thinking such. Why those quotes
connect, in your mind, with "messenger-stuff" & Purucker, I do not understand.
My intuition is dormant, please explain.

While I am not as familiar with, nor as sympathetic with Purucker as I am
with HPB, I have never found such wholesale distortion and often, reversal of
meaning, as I criticised Bailey for, in GdP's writings. He has his own view
of HPB & the Adept Theosophy, but it is a legitimate extention of
theirTheosophy. He is very much of the same lineage as HPB; while CWL, AAB &
Creme are not.

Fare Thee Well,
