I'd also wonder that if so-called Adepts are easily distracted by women,
what claim they can lay to actually being 'Adept'?
A) Blavatsky was not an Adept. She wasn't even a particularly good
choice for the projects the Adepts had in mind. She was just the best
available at the time.
B) Who said "easily distracted"? Note that they are not Mahatmas all
the time, and they ARE human. We do not know the level of concentration
and mutual trust that is required for them to act as Adepts, but, based
on the care with which chelas are picked and trained, it would appear
that the ability of the group to work as a single unit requires
near-perfect compatibility.
