That statement only makes sense if one assumes that all Jews are "un-
teachable fanatic bigots, or something like that." My point was that 
if she had allowed Jews into her inner circle that would have 
completely annulled any evidence that she was antiSemitic which one 
could find in her writings and which certain other individuals have 
repeatedly posted to this list. She did not do so. Given that her 
whole system starts with a kabbalistic framework (her seven 
principles are clearly the sepiroth of construction as she admits 
herself) that seems odd to this observer. It is also suggestive that 
the only living kabbalistic commentators she quoted were gentiles 
such as MacGregor Mathers.

One also wonders, with Blavatsky as with Bailey, why a specifically 
European prejudice would have been represented as so important to 
monks sequestered in the mountains of Tibet? This is much less 
important in Blavatsky's work than with Bailey, since Blavatsky did 
not claim everything she wrote was channeled from Tibet. Ir is 
treasonable to assert that just because she said something one cannot 
automatically assume a mahatma ordered it said.

I am xurrently pointing all ten fingers, but will not say at whom.
