Dear Frank:

What I mean is that H P B was "under training" in my esteem since at
least 1851 when she met her Master in Hyde Park in London. She was
then 20 /21 years old.

She met Olcott in 1873/4 before the THEOSOPHICAL SOCIETY was started.

It appears from all accounts that Olcott went under "training" in 1874
and H P B was the person who guided him and with whom he worked. If I
am counting correctly H P B had been under "training" from the Masters
for at least 22 or 23 years. Olcott was just beginning in 1874.

It was H P B who had direct contact with the Masters all the time, as
I read the accounts of the time. [ And, H P B's and the Masters'
letters to Sinnett. Those are my sources.]

Olcott had occasional contacts. That can be seen from OLD DIARY
LEAVES (Olcott).

If anything we might guess that H P B was the "Guru" and Olcott was
the "chela."

Best wishes,

Dallas

Dallas, I don't understand your reply. All you write is clear and
agreed.


But the point was that Doss sees a contradition between the
requirements for
training in chelaship and the behaviour of both HPB and HSO in 1873.


My argument is that neither HPB and HSO were actually under training
for
chelaship in 1873, don't?


Or will you tell me that the Masters send out a messenger who is not
fit?
