Very interestng. Please share more details if you have time. What I 
said was that I personally have not been able to find any evidence of 
materialization and that is the only phenomenon I have nit 
witnessed. That is my fault to an extent because I know the theory 
of how it is done and the techniques but it is said to be a dangerous 
thing to try to do, so have not attempted it practically. If you are 
a Blavatsky student she left clues all over the place whereby you can 
reconstruct her theory of how materialization is possible. Her own 
demos, assuming they were real, were intended as demonstrations of 
the truth of the theories. Unfortunately she and the mahatmas 
considered this part of the "secret" stuff so that every one is left 
to find out for himself how to connect the dots. It has never been 
publisshed out of respect for the teachers and probably never will be.

Lots of yogis have seen visions of Babaji, which is wy we still 
believe in his existence. What I was saying is that if you want to 
meet him in propria persona and study at his ashram you have to go to 
India where he lives.

Well, I do not know anyone who misplaced his socks but when the 
master causes a simulacrum of himself to appearnat a distance from 
where is is physically situated it can look as if he is physically 
present but he actually is not. The fact that they still have chelas 
and that some have been privileged to be present when they manifest 
to their chelas is the reason some still believe in their existence 
despite all the cynicism that has been expressed in print. 
Incidentally, lest this be misinterpreted, I am NOT a chela, but 
have met others who are and have been privileged to see the things I 
described. At this point in time I do not know any chelas who are 
still alive. I do believe based on direct observation that the 
mahatmas exist, though, evem though I am not in communication with 
them.
