Dallas:

Somehow you keep missing my point.

There are studies, and equipment around now, that were not there when
HPB was writing. She knew what was available during her life time, and
debated with the best minds in correspondence that were alive then.

The things she wrote about in Séances, I have seen, and have seen more
mental and spiritual things in Séances that the physical things that
she describes.

Some of the things she described, I have seen flatly contradicted, and
that field alone has progressed. At the time she was alive, all these
Séances had to be held in dark rooms, with no lights. I have seen them
held in the bright sunlight. She denied that these things were
possible. Things evolve.

As I said, she put down a good base, but things have progressed since
she was here. This is not 1891, and her words are no longer the last
work on many things. I feel that this is where we may disagree the
most. You hold that her words are the last words for the Human Race
for all Time, and I think that the Masters give a little out from
time to time to help humanity evolve, just as the Third Object of
Theosophy expected.

I observed during the years I attended Séances, that many of the
people there seemed stuck at the level of playing games with the
spirits, and would not, or could not, progress on into occult studies,
rebirth, karma, and many other things.

I (speculate) that perhaps you, and your long reams of boilerplate
quotes are stuck somewhere around 1900, and feel that all the
knowledge that the Masters will ever give humanity, has already been
given by HPB, and nothing ever will be learned about the secrets that
the Masters did not believe mankind was ready for in 1891. They
observed mankind progressing when HPB was writing, and gave out more
advanced teachings with the Secret Doctrine than they did in ISIS. I
feel that they give a little out from time to time, and that the words
of HPB are not the last information that the Masters will ever enable
mankind to discover.

So, probably we differ fundamentally. We may be on different "Rays",
as AAB defines reality, and your approach is different than mine, both
tending toward the same goal.
